S-Kyo Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 So I guess, the week is over. No more official letters from department until monday, but at least, POIs can still email us in case they admit us. Should we wait news during weekends?

And what is your subfield? Hi, I'm the one who posted wait-listed for UCR on the result page (Feb 2, there's a typo, I applied for Fall 2020, not Spring haha). I sent them an email asking about my status and was informed that I am on the waitlist so " hard to predict when you might hear the final decision." If I get off the list I probably would go there.So far, I have only one acceptance, one wait-listed ,and many rejections.... I am an international applicant and Theory subfield Good luck!

cardinal35 Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I saw someone claiming a UMichigan acceptance, did anyone else hear back yet?

Hey thanks for letting me know! Since you emailed them, I guess they haven't sent out decisions yet (did they say anything about that in your email?).
fauxgranite Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Any IR applicants hear back from American University?
uchenyy Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I have a random question. When I submitted my applications in the fall, I had paper proposals under review for presentation at MPSA and at a smaller conference. I'll be attending the smaller conference, but I don't think I can justify going to MPSA now, in light of my thesis writing and defense, travel to a visiting student day(s), etc. Plus, I'm no longer working on the paper that I would present on. Would it be wrong to not attend the conference? I don't want it to look as though I just submitted a proposal to make my application look good.

I've been told that a conference presentation on a CV won't make or break an application, so I'm not sure that the dept. in question will really care.

TBH, the email did not contain much information other than I am on the waitlist.... I guess they already sent out some admissions? and seem to be waiting to hear back from those who are accepted. probably when more results coming out in following weeks, they will start to contact people who are on the list. If there's no update on your portal, you have the option to email them about your status : )

I think as long as u explain it in CV or during an interviewed when asked, it is fine. Large conference like MPSA got lots of absence every year There are always sudden changes on one’s schedule. sloth_girl 1
lexuwhit Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Does anyone know when Georgetown usually releases decisions for MA programs? I applied before the priority scholarship deadline 12/15/19 to the MA in Educational Transformation and haven't heard anything back. When they first emailed me in December they said that they will conclude on decisions in April but i dont know still getting kind of worried since I applied so early and haven't heard anything back.

Hi lexuwhit. I think you might have better luck in a different forum. Posts here are exclusively for aspiring political science grad students. Dwar 1
IRTphd915 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 To all of those admitted to the PhD program at UC Irvine, has the School of Social Sciences contacted you about funding yet?

decisions1234 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Did anyone accepted to OSU receive funding info yet?

Is Uchicago going to send out their responses soon? Their website says that we'll hear in the first two weeks of March.

Their website says that we'll hear in the first two weeks of March. Q: When will I be notified of the decision about my application? The Office of the Dean of Students emails all official admission decisions in the first two weeks in March. In some cases, the department may informally notify applicants of decisions earlier. Admitted PhD students are invited to campus for Political Science Day in the spring. In 2020, Political Science Day will be held on April 2.
