PolGrad Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Hello everyone! For those who applied for Georgetown University PhD program, do you know around which dates can we hear the results? Also just out of curiousity, How detailed do the admission committees in the US Universities examine the submitted writing samples? Do they evaluate it page by page checking from the web about our subject or mostly focus on the Methodology? I thought that maybe this took too much time for them and that's why some Programs announce results lately.
iskander Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I applied to Georgetown but also no response yet and not sure when they send out emails. For writing samples, I have a family member who has been on a lot of academic committees to distribute scholarships and stuff like that, so not the same as a PhD but I assume kind of similar in spirit. He basically told me that a committee looks at writing samples like you probably imagine, ie. they'll look at the abstract, first few pages, conclusion etc., but no one has time to read 20-30 pages to check if you have some spelling mistakes or typos in the body of the paper.

You are definitely right Even, Applyweb page can get ad revenue from refreshing application portal By the way, did you also apply for the PhD programs in Europe like LSE, SciencesPo?

One of my friends is currently doing his PhD at Northwestern and he told me that admission results from Northwestern can continue to arrive around mid and late February, based on his experience from last year. polisci320 1
Obscurepun Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I am IR and have not yet received any word from NW. Not sure if this is due to rejection or a batched approach.

I've always wondered if it's disorganization, independent subfield timelines, or just their version of a waitlist
Crossed_fingers Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I’d be surprised if anyone had a NW rejection. Acceptances usually come in batches but rejections seem to come late and all at once. PolGrad 1
