I feel your pain Thales. I was shooting for a PhD and had the same expectations and results. Time to retool...

Congratulations sam123. I got bounced from the PhD program -- disappointing but it's a competitive process. I had a solid application package but by no means a superstar pedigree. Are you MA or PhD, and out of curiosity can you give a general academic profile for comparison's sake?

From the York PhD program director: decisions are being made this week, and results will be sent in the mail the following week. There are 160 applicants for 18 available positions. Admits are done by subfield, with each area allocated a similar number of spots. IR is most competitive with +/-60 applicants vying for 4-5 positions. Best of luck to those waiting.

I'm waiting to hear from the joint Global Governance program at Waterloo/Wilfrid Laurier universities. Has anyone heard back from these people?
