balderdash Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well, I'm sure I'll be corrected, but this seems to be the first school to put up the 2011 application. Is anyone else working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adaptations Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Balderdash... you a little excited to get started? I'm holding off on starting looking at applications until next month, but then again, I've already been through this so have a bit of a head start. Good luck.

newms Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi balderdash, You mean for Political Science right? Duke CS had their app open on Aug 2 and Rutgers CS had their app open for at least a couple months now - I'm not sure if one could have actually submitted the app then though. Those are a couple I know of, I'm sure there are more:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskinner Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I would highly recommend going through applications as they become available and as soon as possible. Just go through the tedious task of inputting all the personal information, classes, grades, etc. This way you'll have this all done before classes start for this coming semester/before midterms, finals, papers, homework, reading, socializing, binge drinking, etc. This was a big help for me, because then I just made a little Excel with a check list for each application listing the requirements (e.g. SOP word count limits, is a personal statement necessary). Then after you're done with your SOP and Personal Statements, it's an upload and submit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on getting this part done as soon as I can and then upload my documents later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I start a really intense one-year MPhil on October 1, and on September 1 I move to a new country and see my girlfriend for the first time in 3 months. So I don't think I'll be too keen to work on it much during September and early October. I also made the excel spreadsheet, and most of my documents are ready to go. Good luck to you all as well!

GopherGrad Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I filled out the Yale app today, even though I'm not sure yet if it will make the cut in terms of fit. I can't believe I'm putting myself through another round of school applications. Off to Costco to get a case of Mylanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're either gluttons for punishment or we want to go to grad school soooo bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I sincerely hope it's the latter. Things certainly won't get easier (if) once we're in. BTW, to those interested, while I didn't try to start an account it appears that UNC Chapel Hill and Michigan are open for business, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combos Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 this is my second time going back to this application mud.....Thanks for reminder, I think I'd better start my round now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adaptations Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I know the feeling. This is my third round of grad school applications. I have to admit, I am pretty excited to get started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I am pretty excited to get started Second round here. Hoo-ah! Chicago is going up Sept 8th, and Columbia will be up in October (but it's really annoying - you can create an account and all, but the app isn't there).

combos Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 What happened last round combos? It went just fine actually, I got in to four PHD programs, the best is Ohio State U. But I enter neither of them for better school, that's why I am here for the second round....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Just an update: Harvard has officially put up the most annoying application ever created. Chicago's is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adaptations Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm actually finding this thread helpful. Can we keep this going with a list of schools that have posted applications? I haven't actually started any of these applications, but from a preliminary check the following are available (correct me if I'm wrong): George Washington Georgetown Michigan U. of Washington UCLA UCSD Yale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Princeton [Never mind; I jumped the gun. You can register and start the application, but it will not allow you to continue after choose polisci as the department.] Edited September 10, 2010 by GopherGrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
