I don't have any tips for you, but in the subreddit r/gradadmissions, you can find tons of information about how to perform well in the interviews.

Someone is on the results page! 

Yup, I just hoped that person was in the forum to corroborate because, sometimes, there are some very funny trolls on the results pages.

Political institutions (in other programs I applied for CP)

folks being interviewed at UW-M: a) congrats! b) are you being contacted by adcom people or is it specific faculty you mentioned in your SoP? 

I am literally asking for a friend lol. 

Some public utility: back when I applied I was checking this resource: https://www.martindevaux.com/2020/11/political-science-phd-admission-decisions/. It is outdated (last year available is pre-pandemic), but with this link + some scrolling of the results page you can have a decent idea of when to expect results. Bear in mind that these dates will vary from year to year, and sometimes it depends on decisions that are not at the hand of individual departments or adcoms (budget restrictions from colleges, etc), and there is also some calendar-related noise (holidays, snow days, wheter the 1st of January is a Wednesday or a Sunday, etc).

 

Also, don't waste your time and mental health updating portals. You may find out that you have been rejected, but it is *very* unlikely that you will be admitted and find out on the portal before receiving word from the department. 

 

Good luck!

Mine came from a person on the adcom, but they're also someone I mentioned in my SOP! Sorry, not that helpful
