m82a Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I am wondering if Duke released all their offers - especially political economy - I'm just wondering why they haven't done rejections at all... Polisci24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindness1212 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Was just waitlisted at Harvard Gov (AP subfield)! If anyone can advise — is there a “waitlist” etiquette? Like should I email saying that I’m interested in the program, or relaying my other offers, or does that not matter? Thankfully, I do have other offers that I’m excited about. Thanks for the help!

Camiki Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Claiming UCLA acceptance (IR). It literally looks like they offered 0 funding but maybe that's to come. Direction in my acceptance letter to go fill out a FAFSA form is not exactly promising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard historically that they don't have ideal funding packages especially with large cohorts entering every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they don't guarantee very much funding or offer particularly competitive amounts for the money they do give.

Does anyone have news from these programs? - University of Texas at Austin, Comparative Politics (mine is still "In review") -University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Comparative Politcs) -Duke (Political Institutions) -Colorado Boulder (Comparative Politics) -University of Rochester (Comparative Politics). Thanks! UTAustin has denied me, but not in your subfield. I have heard they have few spots this year due to large acceptance last cycle. Good luck!

politics2704 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Has anyone heard from West Virginia University? Status is "Complete" and does not change! I have checked the results page and could not find a single one, not even from other cycles... also, Syracuse has not answered me yet. I saw some acceptances in the portal which made me wonder I did not get in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it definitely has a reputation as an especially poor funder even for a public program. UCSD and Berkeley at least offer a guaranteed five years of funding which UCLA has historically not. Who knows though, maybe it's on par with the other top UCs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThucydidesLatte Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Claiming UCSB rejection. 0a/0w/9r/8p Great fit. Research and teaching experience, a perfect 4.0 MA GPA. One paper published.

I'm not deterred by the rejections. I know where I went wrong. I am confident I can fix it if I apply again in the future. And I'm finally making time to publish. So I'll be exploring my options in the next few months to decide how I want to approach things next fall. Even if I'm disappointed with how it all panned out, I feel blessed in life and am happy to continue with my current job. Academia will be there when it's my time. Failure is temporary and breeds success. 🙂 vadis and polisci119 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several brilliant people with PhDs currently working in academia who got rejected by every school on their first round applying to programs. All of them had the same advice for if I wound up in the same boat- don't give up, learn from your mistakes and do an even better job of applications next year, funding/faculty availability is half of it so keep trying, yada yada. While it sucks to not get in to the program you really wanted (I just did this with my UCB rejection...not going to lie, I cried a lot) all you really need is one yes. All that to say, I hope something good is coming your way in the next few weeks! jce8491, polisci119 and ThucydidesLatte 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp2324 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Has anyone heard from Pittsburgh? I feel like they've usually released something by now, but I haven't seen anything. I'm also just waiting around for the rejection updates from Ohio State and Cornell that I know are coming. I wish they would send them already so we could just move forward with some kind of closure /: It's been another week of radio silence and an empty inbox Edited February 23 by amp2324 politicalscience33, tired999, nastya and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
politicalscience33 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I'm not sure if you all can relate, but I've had almost two weeks of no decisions (not counting Yale lol, long shot)! It's very uncharacteristic for some schools. But watch me say this and hear back from somewhere immediately after. Also, I called with a UPenn POI earlier this week. No mention of a timeline. I don't think they liked some of my answers but have to be genuine For a list of schools, I'm waiting on UW (kinda), UPenn, Hopkins, and Cornell. Theory sub. I know a lot of us theory are waiting to hear from Cornell. Tbh, I think most of the theory minds stay away from forums. I'm more of the pessimistic critical theory type.
