Honestly, if the trade off is scrapping GRE and making interviews the norm- I think that is fair. Btw Is Brown your top choice? (sorry, also asking because I just got waitlisted lmao) Oh geez, I didn't get an acceptance or waitlist, so I'm assuming I have a rejection coming eventually.

Yes, I got it an hour back (19.47 hr) EST to be precise. No one has posted an AP admit yet. So, hopefully it would work out for you. Good luck! LanaFan 1
Omkar Poojari Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Sorry to be that guy- but those with offers at Brown- is Brown your first choice and do you plan to accept the offer? Especially CP subfield. (Sorry just weighing my chances after being wait listed.)
JPYSD Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) To all that have been waitlisted: Your chances are probably better than you think. Even at top schools (maybe not Harvard or Stanford), every year, plenty of candidates will make it off the waitlist, which are usually kept quite short and focused. Last year, I know of up to 7 people which were put off the waitlist at even Princeton! Many programs don't even have waitlists (UChicago, for example), so the ones that have, keep them very small and focused. Usually, waitlists are subfield-sorted, so just because someone will not take up their spot, doesn't mean you will get right in, vice versa. The hardest aspect of waitlists is the waiting time, since you most likely have to wait until the veeeeery end, as programs will reevaluate once all acceptances and rejects by the students have come in.

mobstinko Posted February 5 Posted February 5 anyone claiming that NYU waitlist? gre says 342 and decision date is May 2...
lala11 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 14 minutes ago, mobstinko said: anyone claiming that NYU waitlist? gre says 342 and decision date is May 2... I think they are adding all of the scores together (167+170+5). That person has posted several updates so far, including UCSD, LSE, and Berkeley, which they posted a couple days ago. The date may just be a mistake (like entering 05/02 instead of 02/05)? LanaFan 1

PolSciComp Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Anyone here claiming offer from Washington University in St.Louis?
LanaFan Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Today I'm hoping for Northwestern acceptances to start coming in, or to see if anyone posts about AP for Brown. Maybe I'll finally get my Wisconsin rejection, haha. I have a Harvard and a (non-poli sci) Yale decision I'll be waiting for too, but that's a ways away yet...
PoliSciAm1512 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I'm hoping for decisions from Northwestern, UChicago, and Michigan this week... hopefully something today... I got into Wisconsin, which is my top choice, anyway, but I want to see what any potential options look like, especially in terms of funding. 01anonymous, polscicp, nnb1 and 2 others 3 2

Cheers I’m basing it on the specific stats the user provided. I remember seeing the GRE total of 342 before and having the same reaction of “that math isn’t mathing…” lol. I just went back and looked for it and found they had made 4 submissions in a row for different programs that used the same GPA, GRE scores, etc…so I’m just assuming they were all the same person.

LanaFan Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Congrats everyone!! I haven't received anything/had any portal changes, but their website specifies that decisions come in waves, so fingers crossed it's not meant in only a "rejections come later" way, lol. i_kant_anymore, Omkar Poojari and 01anonymous 2 1

Omkar Poojari Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Any idea when can we expect Yale, UPenn and Duke results?
lala11 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 51 minutes ago, Omkar Poojari said: Any idea when can we expect Yale, UPenn and Duke results? Yale will probably be closer to mid-February, just based on prior years. In 2024, acceptances were sent between Feb 16 and Feb 20, rejections were sent starting Feb 20. In 2023, it looks like both acceptances and rejections were sent on Feb 10. And in 2022, decisions were sent out on Feb 24. Duke could be any day now? It also seems like they release acceptances in waves, so who knows. I didn’t apply to UPenn, but it looks like they tend to send out decisions later in February or early March. Omkar Poojari 1
jaliren Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Congrats to those who have received acceptances in the last couple of days! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Princeton decisions in the near future...
Withoutbannisters Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Has anyone had an interview at Johns Hopkins (ideally in Political Theory subfield) that can give me any advice/tips/info?
01anonymous Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I am getting really nervous about Northwestern acceptances. Any one also waiting for Michigan and Columbia?
polisci001 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Has anyone heard from Princeton or Michigan? Based on previous years it seems like decisions should have come out already but I haven't seen anyone post? 01anonymous 1
