Do you think it’s fake?
 

Also have to ask if your name is a Rolling Stones reference too ?

Not sure, honestly. Just find it weird. Happy for those who got in if it is real! 
 

Haha, no it isn’t. I love brown sugar boba

Does seem a  bit early for Princeton. Above it was mentioned there were many results, but now I only see one -- perhaps mods are clamping down on fakers? Therefore it seems like it is too early.

Most are under “politics”. Only one is under “political science”

I applied to Princeton for Comparative as well and haven't heard anything. I even checked my junk mailbox and nothing was there, nor was there anything in the application portal.

Hi guys, I have an important question about the interview. Does anybody know what type of questions be asked during the interview? I am an international applicant, and I need to do more practice to answer properly and without anxiety. I wanna ask you about typically what type of question to be asked and how long it takes?

I would imagine that they wanna talk about your research interests so maybe research their department faculty (again) and think about how to fit your interests and experiences into that? Disclaimer: I haven’t done an interview so this is just my guess. Good luck!

May I ask where you’re finding these results? (Also applying to Princeton and def freaking out rn)

Here is the link: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php

  I also applied to Princeton (Political Econ) and haven't heard back.

There is another link if you only want to see Political Science results (https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=Political+Science). 

I think this one is slightly better - it captures Politics, Political science, Government and removes the LSE posts: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=(politic*|gov)+-london

Guys, regarding Princeton on the results page:
It is a habitual "Princeton troll" lurking here for many years. Usually, it awakens somewhere on 7th-8th January, claims an acceptance to Princeton, and then disappears for another year. This year it reemerged almost a week later than usual (why?). - Do not take it seriously, even better - do not pay attention at all.  
But, seriously, it is way too early for Princeton, do not drive yourself crazy!

Based on my experience, it is definitely time for the University of Wisconsin and Ohio State University (OSU). In this respect, it is even strange we have not heard from OSU yet...-  too many applicants?
Who else might be at this point? - North Carolina, Pittsburgh probably - but these programs do not accept Ph.D. students this year, as far as I know.
So, it is too early to panic :)

So it seems nobody on here is claiming one of the Princeton acceptances? Maybe there's still hope?

I am convinced it must be fake. It isn’t normal for decisions to go out on weekends, no?

Yeah I’m also seeing some results from University of Illinois Urbana Champagne, and I’m hoping Northwestern/Rice follow soon!

I applied to Princeton (American) and have heard nothing either. No updates in the portal. Good luck to all. There have been a bunch of trolls the last few days, I can't tell you how many folks got into Hogwarts... LOL

hopefully we start getting some real news in the next two weeks. I would expect OSU and Rice around that timeline, but Madison *might* take longer given they're doing several interviews it seems like.
