sfsdfdfsfdfsd Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Hey everyone! I also got off the waitlist from a program, and they said the official letter should come in a couple of weeks (I got an unofficial letter from the DGS). That means I am officially accepted right? Should I ever be worried about my decision until I get the official letter? I saw the post a couple of days ago from some who got off the waitlist from Duke and that Duke told him to ask for an extension of the program he or she is considering. So that made me a little worried if everything is still up in the air until I get the official letter? Might be thinking too much... but still wanted to ask!

Unless there are larger, strange structural problems with the school, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I wouldn't reneg on another school without the official letter, but that's totally out of an abundance of caution and because it's cost free to do so. I know it's much easier said than done, but try to relax, you're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while some schools only take a few days, my program told me it will take a few weeks.. They seem to have a really slow process.. but I'll try to relax. Appreicate your reply!

Whatthehaha Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Is anybody still waiting to get the waitlist result? It’s kinda ridiculous that I haven’t heard anything back from the DGS…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherPerspective Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hello everyone!! Just wanted to quickly ask: Did anyone hear back from the Boulder waitlist? It's been a while since I last heard from them (Radio silence since the original WL email in February) (IR subfield here). Any leads appreciated ?

I just wanted to send you a quick update in case you're still waiting on Georgetown. My portal hasn't been updated at all since I submitted my app, but I sent an email to the professor I interviewed with and they gave me like an informal notification of my admission status.

WL is moving usually fast; they won't give sufficient time to consider offers as prior admits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN123 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Hi guys, I applied to Kennesaw State University's PhD in International Conflict Management in August this year for a Spring 2023 start. I guess it is one of the few programs that has both a spring and fall start. Anyway, happy to report that I got accepted and have been offered a full graduate assistantship, along with a $2,000/month stipend. A couple of years ago, I had applied to 8 programs and was not accepted into any. This time I applied to only one and got in. I wanted to wish everyone good luck, whether you have gotten into a PhD program or are looking to apply again. LM2022 and Anton1996 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
