Alfonso97 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Sorry if this is a dumb question. Do some programs process applications in batches...maybe depending on the subfield? For example, I have not heard anything from UW-Madison or Syracuse (some people have claimed acceptance in the latter earlier today). I'm just trying to figure out if the radio silence is soft rejection or not being on top of the queue lol polsciAttempt 1

My gut says soft rejection too. I was looking at my SOPs. So Cringe 😂 . Next time I will have 3-4 people read it
LanaFan Posted February 14 Posted February 14 To others who have received an acceptance: Has anyone else pretty much (unofficially) settled on where they're going? 😄 OP4599 1
LanaFan Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Hmm, I just noticed that my UWI-Madison portal has very recently slightly changed to have "under program review" listed underneath the recent activities sections, not just the fee waiver part that's already been there. However, it's listed as occurring on 12/16 and I still have no acceptance or rejection😅. OP4599 1
floatingworld Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Torn between NYU and UMich for polecon/methods.

Various_Locations Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Do you guys think Georgetown probably released all of their admission? I don't see a single admission on the result page other than the one for politcal theory.

PolSciComp Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Hi everyone! I think it was being discussed here before but does anyone know how many students Northwestern admitted for PhD this year, especially for Comparative politics subfield?
nnb1 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) Another quiet day… has anyone heard something about Cornell? good luck to everyone! Edited February 17 by nnb1
jaliren Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I'm guessing today is slow because of the Presidents' Day holiday in the U.S...I would be surprised if lots of decisions don't come out in the next several days though nnb1 1

OP4599 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Yes, my uni (in the US) had classes today. But I think most places have a day-off today. Fingers crossed for everyone for the week ahead! nnb1 1
PolSciComp Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Anyone who applied to more than 10 programs but still waits acceptances? I have been waitlisted at three schools but couldn't get any acceptance yet; I wonder whether this is due to the fact I applied while already being enrolled at a PhD program 😕
garmit Posted February 18 Posted February 18 This shit boring can we get some post on here or something? Like, what are some things we do when we are waiting for admissions but too anxious to be productive? I read the Mistborn Era 1 series. jaliren and nnb1 2
tiresias1871 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I'm rereading a bunch of James Joyce! I've done Portrait and Dubliners again and I'm working on my second read of Ulysses. Probably going to finally get around to reading Exiles as well nnb1, jaliren, garmit and 1 other 4
