Just got an email from Princeton - waitlisted! Political economy (or economics? I can never keep track, every program seems to have a different name lol).

Political Economy and Economics are two VERY different things lol If it's in the political science department I'm guessing Political Economy.  Still, congrats on the waitlist. While its obviously not as nice as an acceptance its still somewhat positive!

Hello everyone, it is my first time posting to this forum after reading it for many months.

I can claim one of the NYU results. I am, however, still waiting for the official email from the office of Graduate Admissions. A faculty member I have kept in touch with just emailed me with the good news. I am in International Relations focus-area.

Congratulations to Princeton admits, I still have not heard from there. :(

Congrats on the NYU admit! It's a great school in the heart of a great city!

Thank you so much! I'm still in shock after being rejected from UCSD and UT Austin!

Just goes to show that you can't take rejections from "lower" ranked schools too harshly; each department is looking for something different and just because one department didn't think you'd be a good fit doesn't mean you won't get in elsewhere!

Congrats to all admits!! So does it seem like not hearing from NYU or Princeton at this point means a rejection? Not knowing is killing me!

From what I could gather, it seems the NYU admit was an informal email from a POI, not from the DGS, so you’re not necessarily rejected if you haven’t heard from NYU.

In the case of Princeton, yeah, I think silence = rejection.
