I'm also waiting on Georgetown and UMD. Are you American Politics? Seems like for those two schools only IR/CP have heard back. 

Oh..well. Im CP. I may assume rejections from GT but not sure UMD.

I wonder what’s taking Stanford so long to release rejections. In the past they’ve been sent out on the same day as acceptances.

congrats to all on your new acceptance!! well deserved! 

And anyone claiming the new Northwestern offer on the result page? I also applied for AP, but no word so far. Didn't realize they are still sending out admission at this stage. Same question for NYU...should I keep on waiting?

? sorry. For UMD they seem to have sent out waitlists but I only saw one acceptance, so I wouldn't write them off yet. Good luck!

Seems odd that Cornell is still totally silent. Anyone heard anything or know when we might expect something?

By mid-March. I emailed the grad coordinator a week or two ago and that was their response.

Hi guys. Anyone knows about Georgetown, Cornell, UMD, Northeastern, Pittsburgh- no hope or still making decisions? At this point, I need to prepare mentally,,, 

Cornell said they hoped to release decisions by mid-March.

Continued radio silence from Yale. They seem to have released by this time last year and the year before...

Also waiting on Georgetown, and at this point, quite frustrated. This is my third cycle applying there -- I've worked there/gone to school there for the past 7 years, TA for free for law school classes, and have a professor that wants to work with me within the program. I don't know what else I can do! lol 

Definitely at the 2nd stage of grief for this cycle with the anger and annoyance. Glad I have all of you guys here going through the same emotions as me!

Waitlisted at UNC, not rejected. I reached out to the Director of Grad Admissions for a status update as I still hadn't heard anything as of yesterday.

This is indeed very frustrating! I am also waiting on Gtown (CP), I've decided to put myself out of my misery and I just went ahead and emailed them about when an update is coming. I don't want to be pessimistic, but they've really drawn it out since we saw the first acceptances (and even interviews tbh) go out this cycle. I'll update what they respond!

I did the same! Especially since it had said 6-10 weeks from the deadline, and 10 weeks past the deadline was yesterday. Will also update if I hear anything.

hear your grievance. one reason I observe may be that graduate schools discriminate against older applicants and this correlation is raw-eye detectable. but you got one acceptance so should cheer up!

I am so sorry to hear that.  If you don't mind me asking - What is your subfield?

I'm rooting for you.

Thank you for sharing, and giving us the heads up to keep a lookout for emails from UMD.

Thanks--it is what it is. What I want to study is pretty niche, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's all rejections this cycle, but wishing everyone else all the best!

Is it okay to ask how far up on a waitlist you are? Are they even allowed to tell you? I'm planning on accepting Illinois if they are able to extend me an offer. 

[soupgirl]

Folks who have applied to Yale, your portal may already be updated (if rejection)

Absolutely. You can reach out and say that, thank them for the continued consideration of your application and state that you're still interested
