Omkar Poojari Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Ah, same here. Do you know when the spreadsheet was updated? Thanks

Historically, their decisions have come out in the last few days of January. I was told after the interview that results are expected by the second week of February- but most probably earlier than that. Just a follow up Omkar, I'm also anxiously waiting on news from Brown, did they say in the interview to expect news in second week of feburary and then you spectulated that it should be earlier given past years, or did they also say it was likelt to be earlier in the interview? -- also, if you don't mind me asking, what subfield are you in, I've noticed a lot of the people getting interviews are in CP in past years. Best of luck! LanaFan 1

Best of luck! Hi! I was told last week that the results would be out sometime this week. I have not seen results being posted on Gradcafe- though at least 3-4 people had posted about interviews here. There is only one entry about the admission on the Google spreadsheet but unsure if that is accurate. My subfield is CP. What is yours? Thanks and good luck to you too! LanaFan 1

Thanks! just to be super clear, were you told in your interview that they would be out next week or did you hear that as a rumour/from past years
Omkar Poojari Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I asked the Prof who interviewed me and they confirmed that results would be out this week. LanaFan 1

It is too early and even the stats seems suspicious. How sick of them to talk about being invited to dinner/events if this is indeed a troll.
polisci119 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Has anyone gotten anything from UC Davis? I saw there is one acceptance out while nothing happened on mine yet
smoothoperator77 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I heard that Columbia University will shrink the PhD admission cohort (including PSC) this year by up to 65%. Some believe it is related to Trump's suspension of research grants, and some believe it has no relation with Trump and is purely Columbia's policy. Does anyone know if this is true, or if it is true, is it related to Trump, or are there any other ongoing Political Science PhD admissions that are being affected by Trump? Thanks!
i_kant_anymore Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Anyone claiming NYU acceptances? Is there any word on when official acceptances (and what I presume in my case is a rejection) will come out?

I think the reason might be demands by grad students for better pay? So they will have fewer students and provide each with more funding. But I'm not sure.

Hi, current PhD at Columbia PoliSci. Yes, our administration plans to slash PhD enrolment in the coming years. The reasons could be a few things: Trump, expected drastic raise for PhD stipends (our union is demanding 72k starting 2025-2026), the larger trend of insufficient job opportunities for PhD graduates, etc.. No one knows, except the leadership. As for PoliSci, I heard rumours. One is that we will not accept any student this cycle. The other is that we accept 5-7, all in one subfield (eg, all 5 AP in the coming cohort). I don't follow these news very closely, but these are the words in the department.

jaliren Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Also, anyone else still sitting tight with zero decisions so far? Lol

To make things worse, there are misleading updates about the places I applied to on Gradcafe and the admission results spreadsheet. Anyhow, Good Luck!
