PoliSci_IR2020 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Yep, got a UChicago rejection too. Again, a lack of research/focus "fit", in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanyeo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I wish there was a way to give feedback about streamlining the application process (in US schools) -- most applications to graduate school are not successful, so knowing decisions by a certain time (say, March 1) gives people enough time to have feasible backups. It's been somewhat frustrating to play cat and mouse while job-searching (we have to eat) because I don't want to accept a position and then get accepted to grad school later on in the process, thus burning bridges in my pretty small practitioner field by appearing like I'm flip-flopping. nivy25, Saina92, becalmbekindbesafe and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irh4256 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone - I hope you are doing well. Would anyone happen to have any insight on the UChicago admission process? I also have not received any notification and am wondering what to expect.

You may check this website out: http://www.phdstipends.com/results Its like gradcafe but for stipends. It has a "LW Ratio" component which is basically the living wage as a ratio of the stipend.

kmccorm327 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Those Syracuse admits seem suspicious to me, having come one right after the other. Statistically, they usually release later in the admissions cycle as well I believe. Unless anyone here claims, I would likely say troll (WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS I TRULY DO NOT UNDERSTAND). insightfulramblings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarkDark1 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) If you get a large scholarship, definitely a good choice to do an MA at UChicago. But I wouldn't recommend taking a loan of tens of thousands for a 1 year MA. I'm glad I didn't do that. I went to another MA program with more generous funding.
