Anonymous8_8 Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) I just got a brown rej…completely lost hope because that’s the lowest ranked program I applied to and I only received rejs and presumed rejs so far. Edited February 6, 2023 by Anonymous8_8

chairman mao Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Any Princeton/UMich acceptances IR? Obscurepun 1
navyir Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Claiming a Brown rejection as well. I anticipated it as it was a tough sell for me in the first place in terms of fit and rank. Add to that my poor quant GRE score. I'm an older candidate with 15+ years of extremely related IR experience, an MA from a top 30 school with a ton of quant/methods courses and a mixed-methods writing sample leveraging survival models. I wasnt going to go back and spend a bunch of time studying math subjects like geometry that I havent taken in 20 years and wont use in IR to get a good GRE score when 99% of the schools that are a good fit for me dont require it. polisci320 1
Obscurepun Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Dying to know - I feel like I’m having a stroke every time my email goes off when it’s only some ad from PetCo or the likes wubble and polisci320 2

Obscurepun Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Thanks! The username is fitting for that lol
PolGrad Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 I have begun to assume that UMichigan would reject my application, I am Comparative Politics sub-field but I didn't receive any email.
QuantPoliSci Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Fuckkkkk I was really pulling for Michigan. No email yet but American subfield and sounds like American has already been sent out.

poliscigradhopeful Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Do any of you have advice on finding a research-oriented position where I can boost my resume and hopefully reapply. I'm starting to lose hope on this application cycle, but I cannot afford to do a Master's in hope of that boosting my application and really would prefer to just do some kind of RA type work.

Occasionally there are pre-doc positions posted.

Not that I am one to give advice or someone people should listen to given I am leaving one PhD for another because I ended up with an untenable fit but if you don't want to do an MA to boost your application, I would suggest pouring your time into your own work rather than someone elses. I have done the academia thing and think tank world for a while and would say that as related as some other research oriented positions may seem, there is no substitute for just going it alone and submitting or publishing your own solo peer-reviewed work.

poliscigradstudent Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 For those that heard from Michigan today, did any of you apply to the Public Policy and Political Science joint PhD?

Gabbiew Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Does Michigan conventionally send out acceptances in batches like Northwestern? Since a few people in my subfield (AP) have already claimed offers of acceptance from Michigan, I wonder whether it is safe to infer that I have practically been rejected from this program. tyiac5525 1
