I got my rejection a few days after my interview because I explicitly told my interview panel (I knew them well as a former student) that an offer without funding is pointless since I have no external or self funding ability. smug-face 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmccorm327 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Anyone else a little weirded out by Duke's lack of response? It seems like in the last few years, they've released their acceptances and rejections at around the same time, and if not, usually only a few days later. I haven't seen anyone claim a rejection on here either, so it just seems odd! Also congrats @cheetah for the admission! I went to GU Law and got my LLM there and I loved it. The campus is super pretty too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polisciii Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 claiming Georgetown acceptance too!

gradpumpkin Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Question- if something changes about our profile that would be beneficial in admissions, do you think it's too late to let some of the late-February notification schools know and would that be a good idea? For example, if I got nominated for a big award would it be smart to tell Yale or Cornell? I'm not sure if they would take it under consideration at this point in the cycle.

Upload a new document in your portal for Yale. It states that whatever you upload will override the previous copy. At the bottom of the page you can choose to upload "supplementary documents". I'd write something up and put it there. Good luck. gradpumpkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get the NSF, for example, it's not uncommon for departments to admit you after the fact especially if you were borderline. gradpumpkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask where did you saw people getting accepted. I do not see any update on the result page! Hi! I was reading some previous comments on this forum and read someone saying that they got accepted. I'm kind of confused if it's a different program (the person applied to 2 different programs, one IR and one Political Science) or something else but I remember that person saying SAIS. I may have read it wrong but if I did, please let me know because i'm nerve wracking right now haha and goodluck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was wondering if their comment of wrapping up the process "within the next three days" on Wednesday meant three days including Wednesday, which would be today, or three days from Wednesday, which could be Saturday or Monday depending on if they meant business days...

As far as I know (and talked couple of applicants I know personally), SAIS didn't published any result yet. They are currently reviewing the application but couldn't get the information when they will send the decision. The information we see on the result page is John Hopkins Political Science, which is different from SAIS. Let's us know if you know anything precisely about SAIS. ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
