interista Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Any political theory admits yet? Thus far, my only result is a rejection from Duke. Still waiting on: Georgetown, Brown, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, Chicago, Texas, Virginia In at UVA and Berkeley, rejected at Michigan and Stanford Congrats! When / how were you notified? Any idea whether I should just write Berkeley off? Email telling me a decision had been made...logged on to application website...notification of acceptance with attached PDF from dean of the graduate division Congratulations!!! I'm in, too! Have you received any information about funding yet? No. I'm guessing Berkeley gives full funding to all admits, but you never know with the whole budget situation in California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreanhouseEffect Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Anyone heard from Notre Dame? I received my rejection notification from Notre Dame on 2/7. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost in transition Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I received my rejection notification from Notre Dame on 2/7. Good luck to you! By e-mail? i haven't yet received any result from any schools..thanks for sharing your result and i'll keep my fingers crossed for your other results!

Email asked me to check my "app.applyyourself.com" page, and the application decision link was at the bottom. Program wasn't the best fit, but that full funding guarantee sure would have been nice. Good luck w/ ND and your schools of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked my e-mail 20 times today and my phone about 100 times. I have also checked the website a dozen times thinking that maybe I only imagined that I had applied to ND and that's why I haven't heard anything yet. Uncertainty does kill human beings.

I can feel it right now. I finally broke down and put direct links to my applications on my Safari bookmark bar. It's my way of tricking myself into thinking I'm saving time, when in reality I'm wasting more than ever. Did not anticipate my nerves being this frayed so early in the process, but it's in their hands now. Their pasty, slow-moving hands.

GopherGrad Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 No. I'm guessing Berkeley gives full funding to all admits, but you never know with the whole budget situation in California I say this as someone who would scream like a little girl if I got into Berkeley: there's a real danger that state funding will become and issue in some way or another.

s58 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yes, it was an email from Retta Semones. Don't lose hope yet, they obviously seem to be taking their sweet time with this notifying business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% sure you didn't misspell your e-mail address . I wonder what kind of system they are following to release decisions. As a grad student I worked on campus and helped with the grad admissions (MA) process for my school. I remember VERY clearly that all the decisions were announced within minutes of each other. This is driving me crazy! Edited February 8, 2011 by secretly_yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, this is a concern. I didn't apply to Berkeley but have an app outstanding at UCSD. If they make the right choice and admit us both, we'll have a grad cafe symposium about the degree of justifiable concern regarding California's present budgetary constraints. Frankly, I'd be looking for any excuse in defense of a few years in San Diego... How I love Mexican food...

secretly_yes Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I called UPenn. They said they hope to have decisions in 10 days. Good luck to everyone! Also, that should be "I called UPenn from my work phone" and then posted about it from my work computer during work time, indicating that thanks to this waiting business I am doing everything except work. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, UCSD is another of my "scream like a little girl" schools, so if we're both lucky enough there, we can have the symposium over said Mexican food.

Although you never what's going to happen in the future, I don't think they'd admit anyone they can't foresee funding. That said, to help cope, Berkeley did reduce the size of its cohort significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also applying to UCSD (and I'm Mexican), so if we're all lucky enough you'll have all the Mexican food you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradapp87 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Speaking of UCSD does anyone know when they're sending out decisions? And what about the Ivies? I'm eager to get my rejection letters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing and Hoping Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Speaking of UCSD does anyone know when they're sending out decisions? And what about the Ivies? I'm eager to get my rejection letters! I spent an embarrassingly long time going through the 2010 admissions forum yesterday, and it looks like most of the Ivies sent out letters in the third/fourth week of February. So another week or so 'til Dun Dun Dun time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yinumzhou` Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I also applied Comparative and have no news. I'm refreshing email like a madman while keeping my fingers crossed (it's quite a feat, I tell you). I believe so. Got three rejections so far. I worry that I might get no offers this year. That'll be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Comparative, nothing. I'm sure we'll hear from Berkeley soon. Rose, you should get one of those dipping bird toys to click refresh for you. No need to uncross fingers or get boogers on the mousepad.
