Yeah, I applied for musicology. That's why I had the stats filtered for the music department! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelDael Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Has anyone else been ghosted by Texas Austin and Rochester? No rejection, no acceptance, no waiting-list. Should I assume rejection? Is it inappropriate to reach out? SodiumLight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that many of those who get admitted likely accept their offer. ThucydidesLatte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024_IR Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Need some advice on this: when we decline an offer, should we send an email to the DGS in addition to declining on the portal? What about the professors that emailed / professors you met with during the open house? thanks!! ThucydidesLatte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would email the DGS and the professors who emailed you (and your POI, if it is not the same person). About the ones that you met, I don't think it is absolutely necessary unless you feel comfortable with it. 2024_IR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Yes, it was an email. On Saturday I got an automatic email about activating my applicant portal through the UPitt's website (because the application was through the gradcas system). And today I got an offer via email from grad admissions office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polisci882 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Question for those on this forum: is there any substantive difference between PhD programs titled “Government” vs those titled “Political Science”. For instance, Harvard, Cornell, and Georgetown all call their PhD programs government. My understanding is that this is merely a name thing. Anyone have any thoughts?

To my understanding, it is exactly the same. And, to be completely honest, it was a bit of a tedious thing to decipher this in order to decide whether to apply or not (I was rejected by all three, by the way, lmao).

At this point, I'm almost begging. From the beginning, Colorado was one of my top choices, and considering that, on top of it, this cycle has been brutal, I would really appreciate your kind decision to decline. Please don't read this as a pressure of any kind, just as a considerate request. Thank you in advance, and my DM's are open for anything you want to chat about it. Dear everyone, I don't want to be that person (again), lol, but please, please, please, please, if you consider that you have a better option or if you already decided that you won't attend CU Boulder and have not notified the department, please do it. I'm frustrated that one of my top choices is the only school that did not reject me. Still, I also hate being in this position of begging after all this long and winding road of preparing to apply, applying, and getting rejection after rejection. I wish you all the luck, and thank you in advance. Polisci882 and JPYSD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravely.wicked Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 hi hi! has anyone heard back from UC Irvine and gotten waitlisted/rejected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rando_applicant Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Any sense of where UCLA and UPenn stand? I haven't heard from either. Based on the multiple mentions, it seems like UCLA is settled and it'll just be waiting on a reject now. But for UPenn, there seems to be a pretty low number of acceptances and no rejections. Is there still a chance there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPYSD Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Because there have been some questions related to them: UPenn indeed hasn't send out rejections, but I am quite sure that they sent all acceptances and waitlists. Their program is really small, so not many people get accepted every year (far below 10 usually), so it makes sense that we only saw one acceptance here and two waitlists. NYU also hasn't send out rejections, but that is in line with their usual procedure, since they reevaluate applications that weren't initially "successful" for their master program, which for whatever reason takes them so long every year.
