danni11105 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just received an email telling me that I was admitted to GWU (comparative politics)! This is my second cycle (got waitlisted by 2 programs last year) so I am beyond happy. I think the reason why GWU's cohort size doesn't seem to change much is that they didn't accept applications last year, though I can be wrong. Anyway, hope you guys receive some good news soon! anxietyandvibes, Anton1996, modesteffect and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so exciting I saw the BU admit and ran straight to my spam folder to check if I missed something. I guess I just play the waiting game until I get good or bad news.

Tiago Chan Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 10 hours ago, Gryffindor50points said: For UofArizona did you interview for the Political science program or public administration? It looks like UofA has a high ratio of international PhD students, as opposed to some other universities. Otherwise has anyone tried getting in touch with UCSB, Northwestern or Michigan to find out when they might release decisions? Sigh. I can't do this all over again in a year. UA only has one doctoral program, which is PhD in Government & Public policy with five concentrations: American politics, Comparative politics, IR, Public policy and management, and Methodology. My concentration is Public policy and management. Yep. UA has a higher ratio of international PhD students, which might be the reason that I can have an opportunity to get invitation for interview.

sswimky Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Did most people contact POIs directly during the application process? I didn't reach out personally, my LOR writers knew a lot of my POIs personally, and I thought it would be irritating so I didn't. Should I have? Should I do that for schools where decisions are usually released later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I contacted them very late, which could be a reason for the generic responses. At the end of the day, I don't think it would have mattered as much. Most DGS's I emailed said that, while I was free to contact potential supervisors, admission decisions were taken by the committee as a whole, and the pairing with supervisors would happen much later (after completion of coursework). sswimky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWU is a bit tricky, tho not ranked high, it's geographically close to DC, which leads to lots of policy-oriented folks applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sswimky Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Also was just perusing Duke's grad website, and they have statistics out for 21-22 application, admission, and matriculation rates. Have they send out their decisions already? I didn't see any on here but maybe they have been notifying people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not apply to Duke but they seem to be interviewing some people (mostly theorists), so file reviews must be at an advanced stage. It's weird that they present a number of matriculated students though, they shouldn't know how many acceptances they'll have before April 15th.

Ugh yeah I saw that Duke's doing interviews and I'm kind of sweating that I didn't get one. I'm in American though so maybe they're not taking a lot of us this year. I'm mostly just scared I'm going to rejected from every place I applied. The closer we get to hearing back the more I worry about it!! zoooxu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheGrad Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I received an email from Boston University placing me on the waitlist. A little bummed that it is not a straight-up admit, but I STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!!! That said, I know we are all waiting for more offers to come in before making any decisions. Still, if/when you decide you aren't attending BU (or ANY program), please let the program know ASAP so those of us on waitlists have the opportunity to join some fantastic programs. anxietyandvibes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
