ilovezvezda Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 some annoying person just posted a Maryland admission... considering their deadline was the 1st, that would have been the fastest admission result in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 some annoying person just posted a Maryland admission... considering their deadline was the 1st, that would have been the fastest admission result in history. I actually received my first acceptance before the official deadline, so I suppose that this is possible. Maybe they submitted their application very early, and someone at the school had a particular interest in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I take it back then...I didn't think it'd be possible to get an admission before the deadline.

I guess I've become too jumpy given the roller coaster week I did not think it was possible either until it happened to me, so I understand your skepticism. Maybe it is a hoax - though I cannot imagine what anyone would gain from posting a fake result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty-twelve Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Anyone want to claim Maryland? I've noticed that they seem to have a quick turnaround, given the results from previous years. twenty-twelve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Anyone want to claim Maryland? I've noticed that they seem to have a quick turnaround, given the results from previous years. I wish I could, I also noticed a new slew of admittances for UC-Davis, congrats to those who were accepted. I just logged in to check my status and it stated all Maryland decisions would be through the mail, can anyone else confirm this?

saltlakecity2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Didn't know if anyone had seen this - it's a recent paper from princeton on poli sci grad program rankings (develops a new ranking methodology based on placement). Briefly, and not surprisingly: 1. Harvard 2. Stanford 3. Michigan 4. Rochester (yeah, coach!) 5. Chicago 6. Berkeley 7. Duke 8. UCLA 9. Northwestern 10. UCSD 11. MIT 12. Yale 13. Princeton 14.

brent09 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^ Last year it seems like people heard on the website. My guess is that they say decisions are only by mail but the letter posts online before it lands at your address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornell 15. Columbia http://www.princeton...ngs%20Paper.pdf It's good to get a rough sense of the placement ranking, but it's hampered a bit by the age of the data. Ultimately, faculty move around a lot, and placement itself is a lagging indicator, so it's hard to get a really good sense of what placement would be like for people entering the program now. For instance, Wisconsin's program I think is underranked (in terms of where students starting now would likely to be placed), and NYU's isn't even on it. That being said, it does appear to capture some broad strokes that are generally true (e.g. Rochester tends to place better than its overall ranking thanks to its status as a boutique with strong formal training), so I think it's a good first cut at the placement data. I'd follow it up by looking at schools websites, contacting departments for detailed info, and maybe using this to the extent you can: https://sites.google.com/site/honestgraduatenumbers/ iwouldpreferanonymity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
