So, the incells at poliscirumors are claiming claiming Druckman is leaving northwestern for Rochester. Don't know If It is true, but could explain why we haven't heard anything about AP acceptances on NU

Even just on poliscirumors there are constantly rumors of Druckman leaving Northwestern. Usually his family ties to the Chicago area are the reason people give to explain him staying (and being able to leverage an offer for a raise from NU). We obviously wont know if this one is true for a while but im hesitant to buy in (especially considering Poliscirumors is what it is). Would be a major blow for NU if true

I was also wondering about that before, but a reliable source told me this is confirmed news

From a reliable source or is it a scuttlebutt?

[politicallygrad]

Congrats to all Cornell people! It is a great department really. Any theory folks that heard from Cornell?

The long wait will be over for many of us this month, so let's enjoy the final days of constantly checking our e-mails!

I have emailed to Cornell University Department of Government and they replied that the Department has started to make the decisions and will continue in the next couple of weeks. Based on the posts from last year; they sent acceptance offer on another day and sent waitlist results one week later. Hope that we can get at least waitlist results. For this year, their quota is around 11-12 applicants.

U Penn coming out today? I saw one waitlist on the results page.

This is kind of random at this point, but I just want to vent a little and warn people about dealing with UT Austin's admission for future cycles. I had a minor issue with a transcript (something out of my control) when I applied to the LBJ School which I communicated about with admissions a bunch before application and was told should be fine.

Since mid January (when people started getting UT Austin results) to last Friday I spent A MONTH calling and emailing the school to try to get in touch with someone and see if my app was being reviewed and if the transcript issue was resolved. An entire month with not a single person from the university getting back to me. I finally talked to admissions today and was told that my app was not reviewed, it's too late to change anything, if i had talked to admissions about it earlier then i might have been able to resolve the issue (as if I hadn't been trying), and that i can apply again next cycle. A complete nightmare and disgusting, unprofessional way to treat an applicant over a tiny issue in my app. 

 

Even if I did apply and get i to the school at this point I'm not sure if I'd want to go.

Yeah is anyone gonna claim that here? Feels slightly early for them — I wasn't expecting to hear back this week. For those that have heard, is your portal updated?

[politicallygrad]

What kind of game is this they are all sending the decisions today ?
