Mine apparently hasn't come yet either from WUSTL. The original email said one to two weeks for the mailed letter, and that was dated March 3.

MJ0911 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Rejection from Oxford - bit of a blow to the ego, but the fit wasn't great so not too surprised. I have two other applications to places (one of which I have been accepted in to) that I much prefer in terms of course content, supervisor fit and location so I'm focussing on all that and not having to think seriously about the prestige factor of Oxford had I gotten in. Looking on the bright side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on the bright side! Hey, if you don't mind me asking, was it for a MPhil, MSc, or a PhD? Oxford is the last school I am waiting on, so I'm quite anxious to hear back so I can make my decisions and get on with life. Congrats on the other acceptance!

Dphil for development studies which is why the fit was so important for me, and I guess why I'm not feeling as disappointed as I thought I would!

s58 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I just declined a GWU spot with a TA funding and they said something about informing the next candidate in early April. Good luck!! UVaSpades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adela_heartless Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 My online notice that came today from GWU also did not mention funding. A previous email from the department indicated that I am on the waitlist for a TA with a "good chance" that something will come through. I have a feeling it will take a few weeks for the dust to settle and clarify the situation. Thanks tons for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliticalAnimal Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi everyone, I have not written before in this forum - i discovered it late - but I have since been closely following to get hints about the admissions progress and process. I applied to a number of PhD programs in political science, and I have been rejected by all except than two: -NYU offered me a consolation masters -I am still waiting on Georgetown. I looked through this forum for tips on consolations masters and i apologize if I am asking something that has already been answered: are they really worth it? I emailed NYU and they said they let 1 or 2 students into the PhD program (he didnt mention the size of the class or how many people apply to it through the consolation masters). Also, have all the funded/unfunded admits to GU been sent out? (if yes then I am a rejection).. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GopherGrad Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Animal, There are two threads ("Do the MA or Wait it Out?" and "How to Get into a PhD from an MA Program") just a couple lines below this one that should help you out. In fact, one of them regards an NYU consolation Master's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed them (yeah, I know, not much hope of a response there), but no reply. I've been in touch with Notre Dame off and on a bit - I talked to them today, to let them know that I made it into my backup school (I'm on the Wait List right now). I was told that they hoped to have more information about the Constitutionalism, Law, and Politics subfield by the end of next week. So maybe more information is coming soon for you!
