But i’m not sure if it’s likely or unlikely that the DGS sends out acceptances of different subfileds at different times. Best case scenario (which I hope so lol) is that the result on that page is a troll bc the acceptances for other subfields were sent out this morning, not yesterday. On the contrary, it can be possible too that CP acceptances were all sent out this morning along with other subfields, but the CP people who got it are simply not on this thread. Another odd thing is that no one has claimed they are waitlisted at all. So I am not sure if the whole process is really done. Then I decided to email the grad coordinator (not the DGS) to ask if all the decisions and admission process are concluded. She replied: we may send additional acceptances in the next few weeks, so have not concluded our process.” i just hate this in-between feeling where i’m not sure if i am rejected or still have hope! I think someone claimed for Theory too? But I haven’t seen any for CP yet. Have they been from the DGS? I think they’ve only been sent by professors? As perhaps professors are sending out informal acceptances in their own time? Not sure! Fingers crossed they haven’t finished sending out decisions yet... good luck to you!

Also, I wonder, in previous cycles, how long after the acceptance did the rejections come out? Within three to six days after acceptances last year and 2019.

Rejection should come several days after I think. Cornell is a perfect fit for me ...if they reject me thats going to be more heartbreaking than other places! 7 minutes ago, hannahbananapie said: I think someone claimed for Theory too?

Someone who claimed the AP acceptance here told me the email is from the DGS and follwed by emails from her several POIs and the grad coordinator. One of the schools that accepted me actually had notified other successful applicants before me. For unspecified reason, my offer came one day late. I just try to hope that this could also be the case, but of course it is that I am pretty much trying to calm myself by injecting myself with a potentially false hope ? Good luck to you all!

PolNerd Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) I am officially taking a break from the forum since my only remaining "pending" are likely rejections. If I get in at any of the two remaining schools, it will be a very nice surprise; if not, no need stress about. For those who have been accepted into programs, congrats! For those still waiting, best of luck! Will probably log back around mid March to start talking about programs and where to go etc. Good luck to all! Edited February 17, 2021 by PolNerd Barry B.

Nihankg Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi, sorry to distract the heated debate on Cornell but I must ask: Is there anyone who hear something from CUNY? It seems like sociology admissions was a bit of mess. I wonder is it the same for POLS as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the worst. The response you got doesn't make it any easier either, since 'may send additional acceptances' does make it seem like they've sent out their 'for sure' acceptances, and are now waiting to consider people who might be potential waitlists or see how many people reject the offers. pspr, jamesc6 and Angelo X 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nivy25 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If it is a reject, I’d rather not receive a personalised email than have to wait for weeks just to confirm my fears of rejection. Schools should just use a standard reply. I get that personalised emails feel better, but honestly getting a rejection makes you feel so sucky that no amount of personalisation can make you feel better.

I have just seen some people have been accepted into the NYU Phd, was it into t the IR subfield? A couple of people have been accepted by Georgetown this week. I was informally waitlisted. I do not think all decisions (even acceptances) have been released as when I spoke to the admissions chair he said all decisions would be made by the end of the month.

EstherBritoAbrio Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your responses. I really appreciate it! This is my first time applying to Phds and Im super lost. I think it might be fair to say NYU is done then. If it were ok (I dont know if this is the place to ask), _nutella_ and polisci123_1, can I ask what do yo think was your biggest strength when applying? I am hoping to reapply next year to NYU, its been my dream school for quite a while. I hope this is not a bother! kmccorm327, topochica, verschiedene and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
