polisciapp Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Forum. Anyone anticipate hearing anything?
rollinson Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Forum. Anyone anticipate hearing anything? Sure, I anticipate a tersely written rejection.
UndraftedFreeAgent Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 They seem to have gotten a bit of a reputation for waiting until the last second to reject people. A lot of people in previous years posted that they had to call in order to find out that they were rejected.

There's a thread in the History section about the paucity of politeness and consideration at UPENN; maybe it's an institution wide thing?
JordanJames Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Their acceptances also usually go out later than others (poli sci at least). Rollinson, you can smile about an impending rejection (although I doubt you aren't a competitive candidate), you already got in at NWU. Penn's my top choice (I applied to some higher ranked schools, but this is the school I'm desperate to get in at). If I don't get in here, I'm probably going to FSU because I think their program is the most suitable for my interests and their stipend will go a long way in Tallahassee. I'll be happy at FSU, but I'm really pulling for Penn. This tersely written rejection should hurt more than the others.

JordanJames Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Vitalis preferably, or O'Leary, or Lustick, working with any of them would be great. How about you?
Sean Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I emailed Penn yesterday and they told me decisions will be made in mid March. Pretty late for an Ivy school.
JordanJames Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 They say that so people don't keep calling. Those who are admitted should probably hear from them early next week if history repeats itself. Then the rejections come a couple of weeks later. Lets hope we hear from them next week.
browneyedgirl Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I just spoke to the graduate admin assistant - she said decisions are being made and that they're trying something "new" by notifying everyone online through the application site. pressed further, she told me that everyone should hear within the next two weeks.

browneyedgirl Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks for the info. you're welcome! I hope it works out for everyone.
Sean Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Did someone here post the UPenn acceptance on the result page? How come the email was sent out on Sunday??

Oneeva12 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 A friend of mine found out he was in today, but I didn't have the time to ask him how he was notified or anything like that.
Sean Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 decisions are all made. just email or call Dr. Ian Lustick and he'll let you know if you are in. i got rejected, anyway.
sundaymonday Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 decisions are all made. just email or call Dr. Ian Lustick and he'll let you know if you are in. i got rejected, anyway. Does anyone know if those who've been accepted were contacted already? The results page is looking pretty sparse, so I'm going to assume no? :|
polisciapp Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 I'm still not convinced of any acceptances yet.
JordanJames Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure the acceptances are real. But if they have a waitlist, some of us may still have hope.
Ferrero Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Acceptances are real, a scaled wait list is on hand. Inside info.
