I applied last cycle without knowing anything about the process, and got rejected from all 5 schools I applied to. This year, I did a lot more research, and kept my SoP's succinct and school-oriented. Even being waitlisted is just so exciting! Crazy that it went to my trash (didn't even go to junk, since I've been checking that religiously as well). So make sure to check every obscure folder you have in your inbox! Congrats!!!!! gradpumpkin and RED_Card 2

I'm pretty bummed about BU, I thought I was a great fit for IR and I spoke with several professors. I knew this year would be extremely tough though. I also had 4 strong letters of recommendation Edited February 2, 2021 by tryingherbest cheetah 1

I'm not that bummed because it wasn't my top choice, but I'm a bit like..ooouff, starting off this admission cycle on a bad note LOL

funfetti Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I think the results trolls have officially peaked... ETA: Never mind - I think moderators deleted the post! ? Edited February 2, 2021 by _nutella_ Uberfloweret, Mazarin and AHD 2 1

PolNerd Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Anyone feel like they wouldn't be hearing from Berkeley, Princeton, and NW at all LOL. I know we will at some point, but the radio silence is a bit too much, especially with other programs releasing decisions according to previous timelines.

Apparently someone posted yet another acceptance at Berkeley. If we were to judge by the results page, UC Berkeley would have a cohort of just about 40 this year... cheetah, djuric, AHD and 1 other 1 3

I did a Princeton check on here and noticed that, prior to 2017, decisions were released during the second week of Feb (whereas in the last 3 years they came end of Jan(. So, perhaps there's a slight delay this year and it will come end of the week/next week.

PoliTheory2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Yes. I can totally imagine Princeton ghosting me at this point. Especially because we had two waves of fake results (January 16 and 25). The emotional up and downs have been too much! XP ExileOnMainSt 1

plus Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I know. Even if it wasn't a clear troll, I just won't believe anything posted at the results page until it is confirmed here. ExileOnMainSt and animal_whisperer 1 1
Mad Scientist Malfrost Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 You must be a pretty sad and boring person if the thing you want to do with your spare time is troll wanna be grad students; the joke is on all of them, we are always, constantly suffering already lol AHD, StarkDark1, til1996 and 2 others 4 1
Crossed_fingers Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 There certainly are some obscure universities releasing results... funfetti and Mad Scientist Malfrost 2
