Might be a little more scattered across the next couple of days depending on subfield.
ChooseHappily Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Waitlisted at Princeton. Please, someone, send in your decline! Waiting for my fate is hard... Rejected from Brown and MIT - expected. Also expecting a rejection from NYU since I haven't heard anything. Sad that so few universities love me, but as a wise woman told me - you only need to get into one school. niceward, Dwar, Shayshay1331 and 2 others 5
Clintarius Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 6 hours ago, tcnkyng said: Hi guys, any insights on what to do if I got multiple waitlists and no offers... Will it be a good idea to update this information with the waitlisted schools? I'm not sure that telling them you are on multiple waitlists with no offer would work in your favor, but I've been told that sending them a personalized email stating that they are your top choice, and that you will therefore accept their offer if they take you off the wait list may increase your chances. That's because a lot of students will only decline their offers last minute before April 15th, so the schools want to be sure that if they make a new offer, to meet their goals in terms of incoming students, it will be accepted. tcnkyng 1
polisci71 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Has anyone gotten waitlisted from Columbia?

Dwar Posted February 26, 2020 Author Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Welp, I received my last application decision last night. So I guess this cycle is over for me! I'll be posting my profile in the other thread once I make my decision (probably on Sunday). I wish everyone the best of luck with the remainder of the cycle!

geoconvert Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Does anyone have any updated info on when we should expect to hear back from UNC? I'm considering emailing them and asking.

PoliSciGuy00 Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Claiming a Columbia rejection for IR. Sad, but not sure if NYC living would've been right for me. Still got a few programs to hear back from. Edited February 26, 2020 by Mr_Spock2018
niceward Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 JT at CU Boulder confirmed for me that I am on an unofficial waitlist. I pretty much already knew this, but it is nice to have a degree of certainty regarding something about this process. Hopefulpolisciboop, GabriellaG and Dwar 3

allben Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Has anyone heard from the partnership program at Columbia (dual PhD with Sciences Po)? I’m wondering if the notification timelines are different from the general PhD - my portal doesn’t show a rejection yet and I haven’t received any email communication.
raduan Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 I claim a rejection from UNC. Considering the slim chances of good news from Chicago and Harvard, I think that my cycle is over. I must say that, no matter what, I am happy about not participating in the next cycle sloth_girl, allben, Dwar and 1 other 4

raduan Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah. I got three acceptances. One is clearly better than the others. I'm just waiting Chicago that would might make me have second thoughts, but I don't think is gonna happen. ihatedecisions 1
