Congratulations! It's good to know that the waitlist is moving- if you don't mind answering, do you feel like you might take it? 

Thank you! I'll probably pass because I have better faculty fit at Columbia. Will send emails to the department tomorrow and hopefully pass on the good news to someone else on the waitlist!

Thank you, it gives me some hope knowing I might get off myself - I got waitlisted a week ago. When did you get your waitlist notification? Also claiming UCLA (thought I was over after acceptances went out yesterday) but even if fit might be better at UCLA - I am worried about funding.

On the public/state school funding thing it really depends on the school. UCLA has a history of poor funding, but I just got my UW offer of funding a few days ago and I'm happy!

It’s plenty for the area and includes summer funding/annual allowance for conference fees etc. 

Don’t count state schools out!

Do we know if Harvard has already sent out all of their offers for Theory?

If you don't mind my asking, is the UW stipend they offered identical to the one on their website?

I got my waitlist decision really early, around the time when the first wave of offers were sent (late January)

Same here! I saw a "waitlist" on the result page and also remember someone in this thread reported it. But I received nothing yet.

There is an acceptance now! I guess I will receive rejection next week. So sad.

Hi! UPenn does not send acceptances/rejections on one day or waitlists. Every year things come in randomly. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info! As much as I hope they haven't sent out all results, one admit & two waitlist on the results make me less believe they send results in batches. But you're completely right, we won't know until we get an official notification from the dept. 

 

p.s. is it just me or others find this forum starts to have annoying pump-up ads randomly?

Can any math-smart people tell me what they think my chances are of getting off the waitlist at Duke (I'm third on the waitlist and they told me that they "frequently" admit people off the waitlist)??? I'm so stressed, I really need this offer. 

[Sigma99]

Is anyone with Greogetown CP acceptance declining the offer? I think I saw somewhere in this thread that only 2 candidates accepted 😢. Hoping I get off the waitlist. 

[Shiroe12]

Does anyone know when UConn will release the decision?

I don't know if you realized but those are the stats for the music program, I'd assume there is wide variation across departments.

[Polisci882]

Rejected from JHU. American politics. I’m not mad about it. I’ve gotten other offers I was more interested in

[ThucydidesLatte]

I got rejected from Johns Hopkins and Cornell with a difference of 5 minutes between emails.

Everything hurts and I'm dying.

[WWCand]

Rejects from Cornell and Duke today! But not upset with the acceptances already received and the a couple others pending.  Im likely heading to the UK or Windy City.

In the same boat lol, plus Toronto a few minutes before (for Sociology not Poli Sci though). It’s been almost two weeks since my last decision then three in one night!

Sitting on 0a/6r/3p now…

[ThucydidesLatte]

Is anyone claiming the UNC rejection after contacting the Department?

If you can DM me, it would be appreciated; thanks in advance. ☺️

[jce8491]

Received Harvard rejection, as expected. That's it for me. 0 for 8 lol. On the plus side, I know what went wrong and how to fix it. Might take a shot again next year. Might skip the PhD, as it's not strictly necessary. While this was disappointing, I'm grateful to have a career I enjoy that pays the bills.

Best of luck to all of you who were accepted to programs! You earned it. To those who aren't, keep your head up. It's a tough process. Don't let rejection deter you from pursuing your dreams. It's a temporary setback and may prove to be a blessing in disguise.

It has been a brutal cycle, however, I'm glad you have a job that pays the bills. Good luck with everything you do in your life. ☺️

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from UT Austin? My portal still says in review but I assume it's a rejection since It's almost March at this point lol.
