Does anyone applying for International Relations of Political Science at Boston University receive any updates of admission? I chose American Politics (focus on the American presidency/political communication) for my subfield. I am not sure what BU's admissions process/timeline looks like, but I noticed that acceptances were sent out on the 24th and sent waitlists on the 25th. Plus, DGS only notified me of the waitlist decision via email and made no updates to my admission status on my online application. Maybe check your spam/junk folder to see if you have something from "Boston University - Graduate School of Arts and Sciences." If not, it never hurts to contact the program coordinator (Liam Dingle - ldingle@bu.edu) and ask if all admission decisions have been sent out or if they will be sent out on a rolling basis. I hope this helps, and I'm rooting for you! Gradverse 1

EstherBritoAbrio Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Hi everyone. Claiming University at Buffalo acceptance, in case anyone applied. Hopefully you all get good news soon. Take care. scared_phd, Anton1996 and swanronson 3
scared_phd Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Got an interview at Georgetown. Got an email from a couple of profs including the comparative government field chair. I didn't know Georgetown did interviews. Hope this is a good sign; it is hard to tell these days. swanronson, nicollo, AnotherPerspective and 2 others 5

Congrats on the interview! If a school is doing interviews, it’s certainly better to get one than not. scared_phd and swanronson 1 1

smallcrown Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Would be so nice if there would be like one day when all schools have to have their emails ready and then send them out the next day at noon or something. This whole process shortens the lifespan of the average academic quite significantly. pbspoon, Anton1996, AnotherPerspective and 8 others 11

It wasn't me, but it looks like the same email I received last year. It was weird because they asked me if I would like to join their MPP or MIA program even though I was already in my second year of an MPP program at UCI. It really made me feel like they didn't really look at my application. I hope they didn't do the same to any one else this year swanronson and modesteffect 2

ShowroomDummy Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Hi! I saw some of you saying rejected by Chicago in signature, but I thought Chicago hasn't released decision?
HJ95 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 I got rejection from Chicago Political Economy PhD program, a new program starting off this cycle!
ShowroomDummy Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Finally I learnt how to quote people hah. Still struggling with UTA's decision, still no acceptance/rejection/waitlist/update on portal/email...Should I contact them? Edited January 27, 2022 by ShowroomDummy

DanTheGrad Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Anyone else check each of their application portals multiple times a day at this point? or is it just me? ? swanronson, AnotherPerspective, Avocado_town and 2 others 5

I mean, since you know that UTA has started sending out decisions - it never hurts to contact the program coordinator/ assistant to see if all admission decisions have been sent out already or if they will be sent out on a rolling basis. I know we are all taught to be afraid of asking the program questions, but you need to do what feels right to you. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do!

LatinAmericanFootball Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Does anyone know if it's normal for schools to release results on weekends? Or can we safely log off on Friday night and only check in again on Monday?
