2020-2021 Application Thread

Just curious does anyone hear nothing from uci ucb and uva, even after checking all portals and spam emails? Can I just assume that I am rejected by all of them? Stressful... Congrats to all the good news!!!

Claiming a Boston University rejection. It was a generic email, no update to the portal though. I had applied to American Studies subfield. Good luck to those who are waiting or Congrats if you got in!

Anyone still waiting/hoping to hear back from OSU?

While I am hoping I’m certainly not counting on it being good news

Yep! Anyone claiming the acceptances/rejections? Judging by the looks of it, someone is reeeeally enjoying some trolling. (Not OSU, but the political science results section in general)

Yeah. I think those came in after my post...

I think the survey page can only be trusted for humor (generously defined) at this point.

I see you are a Vandy applicant as well; did you receive an invite for an interview? Hoping more go out tomorrow, only have two confirmed here so far.

I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully they will send more out over the next day or so.

Is this even legit?

At this point given all of the other troll responses on the results page coming in all at once, I'm guessing the Northwestern one is fake too! But thought I'd check here just in case. Northwestern doesn't usually do interviews for PoliSci as far as I understand, but who knows with this crazy cycle.

Just received a waitlist email for UIUC. Mentioned the applicant pool was twice the size of last year.

JUST GOT WAITLISTED AT UIUC!!

@NeedaMormon May I ask when you heard from Texas A&M? Have been waiting but radio silence.

I heard last Friday. I’m still waiting for an email about funding since they contacted me via phone call.

[foxcarnival]

Also waitlisted at UIUC. Happy to finally hear back!

Thanks. International student here so I am guessing they wouldn't call anyway even if I got in. The wait is killing me. Congratulations btw

Yeah I hope so. I would personally LOVE to work with Ian Hurd. I feel like Northwestern is one of my best fit in terms of research because of Professor Hurd. 

[nivy25]

I haven’t heard anything from UIUC yet. I’m assuming it’s probably going to be a reject at this point. Same with OSU.

Officially recieved the email from UVA about waitlist status. But there're some many people claiming the waitlist of UVA here. I think the waitlist is pretty long....I wouldn't expect anything from UVA since no one reported an admission from waitlist before on Gradcafe.

[Endor0790]

Claiming another UVA waitlist.
