Expand H S > P > M Y C from what I can tell, but it can vary by subfield. Another thing to keep in mind -- having a good "brand" (i.e. an Ivy/Stanford) can matter a lot if you strike out on the academic job market (as many of us likely will unfortunately) and move into government/private sector work.

Expand To add to this, my sense is that SLACs like people with "brand names" on their resume, so that can help with placements there. Having professors with degrees from Ivies/Stanford can help the school market itself to parents in particular. sloth_girl 1

Expand I’d say berkeley is a pretty flashy brand name though, once you’re in the chymps im pretty sure it doesnt matter.
DrPepperGuy Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Has anybody heard back from UNC? I would've thought acceptances/rejections would've gone out by now.
Romcomulus Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 It appears that the Korbel School (Denver) has released at least one Masters decision. Idk if this means PhD decisions are soon to follow or not. Dwar and GabriellaG 2

XTeaever Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 When people say "M", do they mean Michigan or MIT? Thx

RebPB Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Shouldn’t Stanford and MIT be coming out this week?? Also did NYU finish sending out acceptances??

Expand Stanford came out on the Wednesday/Thursday of this week last year (i.e., today and tomorrow). And they apparently have a dark sense of humor since they sent rejections on Valentine's Day...
RebPB Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 That’s what I was thinking... thank you! Any guesses for NYU? I saw a few go out last week but they usually have a bigger class and there were only like 5 posts. captmarvel 1

Expand They said something like that last year too, but what really happened was that they sent all PhD acceptances at once, and then waited a while, and then sent unfunded MA (they don't fund) and rejections a month later. Everyone who got accepted to the PhD (possibly small n of waitlisters aside) all heard at the same time.

My source was a professor at NYU Politics.
uncle_socks Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) If someone who got into NYU has a reply-by date for their fly-in, that would give a good benchmark for when to (to put it bluntly) give up hope on the PhD program. ETA: it was Feb 20th last year. Edited February 12, 2020 by BunniesInSpace

HanZero Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 how many of you are thinking of UC Riverside as an option? I saw some acceptances on the results page...anyone thinking of going for the campus visit?

kaze_ng Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Anyone claiming the Syracuse acceptances? I found them to be a little weird, since they are both notified on 2/13. I assume they are not in the US then? Still no words from UC Riverside...
