Claiming as UWM acceptance

Congrats to those claiming UWM! Given I have not heard anything, going to take this as my first rejection/decision of the cycle, wasn't my top fit but still just adds to the nerves?

It's still majorly early in the cycle! There's a home for all of us. Like you said, not your top fit, and that's certainly taken into account in decisions

That's a good point. Fit seems to be a major factor in admissions. And it is just the beginning of the cycle... (although Princeton already may have sent results LOL)

As someone leaving another school due to bad fit, I know you are definitely right. I was very targeted with my apps but it is always interesting to see how things play out in a department that might have a subfield that is like 65% one focus and 35% the one that fits you. I am also always so fascinated with whether others call out profs from what they intend to minor in. My experience in the classroom is that those profs are just as critical to your success as your major profs, but is it bad strategy to call that out in an SOP? One might never know.

Got my first reject from WUSTL. Disappointing since I thought I drew lessons from my first application cycle. I am afraid this cycle might be fruitless, too, especially when the remaining schools are way more competitive.

Now I am here to claim one of those recent WUSTL rejections. International, CP/IR, qualitative, straight out of BA (no MA), one co-authored publication, one co-authored conference paper, work experience, participation in several PoliSci/Economic forums.

Did duke finish all the interviews?

Don't worry too much about the interviews. They might have finished all the interviews but not every field/faculty interviews applicants. One of my POIs reached out to me without any interview.

Hey @Realbadgal. Applying for basic the same places, but NYU. Also in CP. 

I will update my signature as well. Good initiative.
