Is there a list on here somewhere of programs that hold a math camp before the beginning of the academic year? 

I'm sure it's far from comprehensive, but Harvard has a list of programs they know to offer a math camp here

I don't have enough space to upload anything here or on the other post anymore so here's a link to the decision dates data since 2012. Only includes schools from the top 100 USNWR. It shows fewer posts from Harvard/Princeton/NYU than the reality because I filtered with "political science" and not "government" or "politics". ?

Claiming a rejection from Northwestern.  Got the email today.  Will be applying to NW again next year.

Good luck to people who still haven't heard back yet!

For those waiting to hear back from UNC, I just received an official admission letter. The email that I received last Thursday was an unofficial notification.

Congratulations! Was this one through a generic email from the DGS?

Thank you! And yes, it was more generic than the email I received last week from a professor in my subfield.

Did you apply to other schools or just NW this cycle?

After another wave of NW rejections, I still haven't heard anything and no change has been made in the portal. Anyone else?

I just looked up NW's pattern of results for last year and saw that a considerable number of rejections continued into March, so I won't get my hopes up about it.?

Claiming unofficial rejection from Penn. Got an email from a professor I’ve been hoping to work with and have been in contact with for a while. Super super upset since Penn happens to be such an excellent fit for my niche interest and I am geographically bound to this area due to kids. Apparently it was a really competitive year.

Does anyone know when Harvard and Yale are sending out decisions? I know they will be rejections but am just waiting for the assurance of being done with this round.

Claiming a Vanderbilt rejection

Got a super strange acceptance from Columbia just now. Email was "decision letter available" via portal implying a rejection but it was in fact an acceptance. Odd. 

Nothing from department.

Got an offer from Columbia! I got a notification to check my application and my offer was posted as an update.

Hi folks: for people who got in to UCSD or UCD, would you mind sharing what sort of research experience, LORs, GPAs and GRE scores you had?  I am going for a reapplication next cycle and want to strengthen my app. 

Thanks!

I didn't apply to UCD, but I applied and got in to UCSD and am happy to share details via PM if you want to reach out.

Hi - is anybody here claiming the WashU acceptance off the wait list? 

[weast]

To those of you who got accepted to Columbia, could you share your subfield? Thank you, and congratulations!

So I still have not heard back from UCLA and I know that they sent out their acceptances and, as far as I know, they have not sent out their rejections so i assume that I got rejected but does anyone know when they're planning on sending out the rejections and if anyone has gotten waitlisted yet? 

[Romcomulus]

Claiming the UW rejection and UH interview that just went up

I emailed the department exactly a month ago to confirm that they received my GRE scores. Lol, the director of student services responded to my email about an hour ago to tell me that they received them. But no word on a decision...
