wishful thinking Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 CONGRATS! Would you mind sharing your stats? HOLY DING DONGS BATMAN! I GOT IN! Just got the email!!! HOLY COW!
just4u1530 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Has anyone tried to get in touch with the Admissions team and find out as to when the next wave (rejects/waitlist ???) will be released..judging from last year thread, it seems all acceptances have been mailed.. "=( CONGRATS! Would you mind sharing your stats?
maskedbandit Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 kudos to whomever called the admissions office. you're my new friend.
theguru Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Did the WWS finish sending out all their admit emails??? Does it mean that if you have not received an email from them, you are out???
magellan Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 According to some great soul on the results page of gradcafe, the answer to your question is apparently (and thankfully) 'no': Princeton University (Woodrow Wilson School)Public Affairs (MPA), Masters (F11)Other via Phone on 9 Mar 2011U9 Mar 2011I called the Graduate Admissions office and the person confirmed that all the admits have not been sent out as of yet and will be sent out over the next couple of days. This would include the remaining admits and also the emails for people who did not make. Maybe there is still a slim chance.... Did the WWS finish sending out all their admit emails??? Does it mean that if you have not received an email from them, you are out???
PoliticallyAff Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I just phoned WWS and they said decisions will be ALL SENT OUT BY THE END OF THIS WEEK! Freaky! Anyways, I wonder if they go in batches... Where (1) For sure admissions (2) Maybes (3)Rejections
theguru Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Sorry , what did you mean by slim chance? is it a slim chance of them sending all the emails within the next couple of days???
StellaHaiti2 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Aw, bless you. I feel a little better now.

PoliticallyAff Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 No problem everyone! I guess all of the letters are customized, or else why would they take their sweet time sending them out???
abogs78 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 You are right PoliticallyAff, I think the letters are customized. A friend of mine who also got an admission e-mail got something slightly different from mine...at least that was what he told me. I hope you all get in...good luck! No problem everyone! I guess all of the letters are customized, or else why would they take their sweet time sending them out???
theguru Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I had a dream last night about receiving an acceptance email from WWS but when I woke up, I realized it was just a dream, and now they are sending acceptance emails to folks.....I have not received any email from them. freaking out. MPPplusDebt 1
theguru Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 WWS sends emails only accepted candidates and the Graduate schools sends all official emails(both accepted and rejected) It looks to me like those of us who have not received emails from the WWS are screwed. greendiplomat, just4u1530, MPPplusDebt and 1 other 4
just4u1530 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 But last year reject/waitlist emails were sent our 5-6 hours after the acceptance notifications..Today, we havent heard anything from WWS after initial wave of emails... Why its taking so long, even if we are supposed to receive reject/waitlist emails from the graduate school? WWS sends emails only accepted candidates and the Graduate schools sends all official emails(both accepted and rejected) It looks to me like those of us who have not received emails from the WWS are screwed.
yzw200 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I contacted WWS as well and was told that while they had only sent out "some" of the accepted emails--and that the rest should hopefully be sent by tomorrow evening. just4u1530 1
smerd Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Just fyi, I got the admit email last night but have not yet received the "official" email from the graduate school today.
PoliticallyAff Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So I guess it's logical to say those of us who haven't heard aren't getting in...
JBrodsky Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 From what yzw200 is saying, it looks like this might not be the case? I'm really confused now... though at this point i'm just going to assume I'm not in and be extremely happy/surprised if I am admitted. Ditto. The coping is underway. ;-)
theguru Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) What it means is that the WWS does not have the time to send emails to rejected students, they have taken those they like and are spending their precious time on them, and thats probably why they have not bothered to send any rejection email. I have not heard anyone reporting rejection on this forum.The grad school will send official emails to both accepted and rejected students. That's how I see it Edited March 9, 2011 by theguru
PoliticallyAff Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I guess that makes sense... How are all your stats? BA in French and Poli Sci at UCLA 3.4 GPA Speak 3 languages GRE scores low 490 and 410 Lived abroad Interned a lot
yzw200 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from NYU with a concentration in Community Development 3.63 GPA Lack fluency in multiple languages Lack quant work in college GRE: 620Q, 590V 8 years Director of Development for a national NGO Many internships with NGO's, just completed 4 months volunteer assignment in Kenya. Keeping my fingers crossed
PoliticallyAff Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I'm sure you'll get in, I doubt I will lol BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from NYU with a concentration in Community Development 3.63 GPA Lack fluency in multiple languages Lack quant work in college GRE: 620Q, 590V 8 years Director of Development for a national NGO Many internships with NGO's, just completed 4 months volunteer assignment in Kenya. Keeping my fingers crossed
yzw200 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I'm sure you'll get in, I doubt I will lol Keeping my fingers crossed--but don't doubt yourself--I think we all bring different things to the table and admissions looks at everyone individually. Otherwise, they could simply state minimum 750Q score 3.8 GPA etc... You apply anywhere else?
PoliticallyAff Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I agree, it seems you'd be going for the MPP if I'm not mistaken. I applied to The Fletcher School (MALD), MSFS (IR), The Elliot School (IR), SIS (IR), SAIS (MES), WWS (MPA) and was rejected by Harvard CMES Keeping my fingers crossed--but don't doubt yourself--I think we all bring different things to the table and admissions looks at everyone individually. Otherwise, they could simply state minimum 750Q score 3.8 GPA etc... You apply anywhere else?
