lezz Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I just received an email from Notre Dame saying "Applicants who were notified of their status and completed the registration process are on the finalist list." Since I was not invited to interview I assume it's a rejection but I simultaneously doubt the small cohort size lol. The final result will be made on Feb 24. butlerianjihad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not being invited. Is it possible for us to contact the DGS to know how high we rank on the "waitlist"? Btw what does the DGS mean by "finalists"? Are they already offered an acceptance or what?

butlerianjihad Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I also received the same mail from Notre Dame. The language is confusing imo. Do you think they sent the same e-mail to all the applicants? It would be impossible for everyone to be on the waitlist so I am taking it as a rejection.

Feels like a generic mail to all the applicants. My understanding is that if any of these finalists eventually decides to ditch the virtual visit before Feb 9-10, the admission committee will move "waitlisted" applicants accordingly to fill the vacancy. Anyway, it is disappointing on the committee's part to be so evasive about their procedures. You'd expect more decent behavior from a prestigious Catholic institution. butlerianjihad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obscurepun Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Does anyone have predictions for Berkeley, Michigan and UCSD? I believe they typically release early February but am not sure if that would be this week or next. Anxious of the waiting game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseTracks Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 a couple years back, michigan sent me a notif around feb 17, and acceptances were sent out a week or so earlier from what i remember. I'd probably guess around feb 10? Obscurepun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senochka Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Although I like The grad Cafe's tongue-in-cheek member rankings based on caffeine level, not having had a full night's sleep since the beginning of the decision cycle makes me think that a ranking based on sleep deprivation levels would be more fitting, something like beauty sleeper < nevernapper < eight mate < sixthejinx < zombie. Have a long night ahead and just mumbling, something should come from UIUC today, that's according to them, not me. politicallygrad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marxford Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I hate that I'm here refreshing my email, the grad cafe admissions page, and this forum in a sort of tricyclical, manic fashion.

iskander Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I applied to 12 PhD programs and haven't heard a thing from any of them. Do most uni's send out acceptances and rejections first though? Like, if you haven't heard anything yet and some people have received rejections, that means you're kind of being waitlisted even if you haven't gotten an email saying that? That wouldn't be so bad I guess. Or I'm completely wrong, idk. Also someone said that UT Austin was sending out responses, right? I still haven't gotten anything, and I'm not even really sure if my app's being reviewed; I had a really stupid issue where I couldn't submit one of my transcripts (basically study abroad transcript, not main education) and I was told my application would be reviewed anyway even if the system wouldn't allow me to submit. It's been marked as "incomplete" ever since though, and I hope they didn't just throw it out. Edited January 30, 2023 by iskander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some programs, like Michigan, seem to send acceptances and rejections at the same time. Others, like Emory, send rejections first. Still others, like Duke, send acceptances first. Some programs have many rounds of rejections. Others have only one. You could look up the trends for your programs by going to https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/?program=Political+Science Then click "advanced search" and search for the name of your universities. It looks like UT Austin calls their program "government", so adjust the search accordingly. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you had with Texas. That's definitely annoying. I hope things work out for you! It's stressful, I know. Fortunately, it seems like many programs haven't released yet, so good news could come soon. To put things in perspective, I applied to 19 programs and only heard from 2 (though I assume I was rejected at Duke based on the results here). The rest of this week and February should see more activity. Let's hope for the best! Edited January 30, 2023 by TerribleTowel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying to less programs makes me feel so insecure. kthslfmzgl and juliacar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
