Seriously! 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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolNerd Posted February 2, 2021 Share 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... djuric, verschiedene, cheetah and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliTheory2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus Posted February 2, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
