Adornopolisci2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I've found this to be pretty helpful. Again, it uses older data, but it ranks programs along their placement and hiring capacities: http://jhfowler.ucsd.edu/social_networks_in_political_science.pdf Anyone want to suggest some weekend reading while I slowly grow insane watching my empty inbox? twenty-twelve and Adornopolisci2012 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolja00 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just want to know something! I havent been accepted or rejected to Madison or Duke yet. It is driving me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBG Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just want to know something! I havent been accepted or rejected to Madison or Duke yet. It is driving me crazy. Could be waitlists! If you get desperate, I'd just send an e-mail by the department and see what you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 You know, I thought the Stanford acceptance was real... but now I'm not sure. I guess Chandelle's absence has really set them back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Chandelle's absence has really set them back this year. Yeah, it seemed legitimate. Same with the Berkeley and Ohio State ones. Hopefully next week!

Percy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Anyone here planning on going to the UC Davis recruitment event? I'm considering it, we'll see what happens in the next week or so though... Same here, getting some news next week one way or the other would really help to determine if the trip is worth it. side note - unforeseen benefit to this waiting process: my gmail inbox has never been so cleaned out/organized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Looks like Pittsburgh has begun to send out some more notifications, hopefully mine is not a rejection. iwouldpreferanonymity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Looks like Pittsburgh has begun to send out some more notifications, hopefully mine is not a rejection. Yes, I am hoping the same. I wonder why their notices are so sporadic. Does anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent09 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Seems like many programs are sending notices as they process them instead if all at once (Duke, UCLA, PSU, Maryland). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerfed Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have not received either acceptance nor rejection from pitt. Does that mean I am waitlisted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have not received either acceptance nor rejection from pitt. Does that mean I am waitlisted? I am wondering the same thing. Yet, it appears that they have notified people that they are waitlisted. So, perhaps we are unofficially rejected?

grantman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I would not say we have been rejected or waitlisted, for some reason it seems like a number of schools are sending out notifications in waves. However with that said, while Pittsburgh is my personal top choice, I still think my chances in getting in are rather slim given my catastrophically low GRE's scores.

However with that said, while Pittsburgh is my personal top choice, I still think my chances in getting in are rather slim given my catastrophically low GRE's scores. That seems the best explanation. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully, we both receive pleasant news next week. iwouldpreferanonymity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with that said, while Pittsburgh is my personal top choice, I still think my chances in getting in are rather slim given my catastrophically low GRE's scores. I didn't apply to Pittsburgh, but given the existing pattern with UCLA, Duke, and U Michigan I'd say it's entirely possible they're just sending out notifications a few at a time for some unknown reason. I wouldn't freak out yet! iwouldpreferanonymity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCooCachoo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Has anyone claimed the Berkeley notifications? I know first hand just how shockingly unreliable the results page is, so I was curious... Notification, singular. Either it is fake (seems the likeliest option) or they have only allowed in a handful of students (or even one?) and are waiting with admitting the others. The status of my application, in any case, has not changed from submitted. Anyways, a new week of agony and anticipation is coming up. Best of luck to all those of us who are still stuck in perfect limbo. iwouldpreferanonymity, kaykaykay and AuldReekie 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlibird Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Kids, I have missed hanging out with you this weekend. So much so that I have been reading the 2011 cycle and other old posts. Are we only friends when waiting for decisions? Don't we have some sort of awesome poli sci solidarity discussions we could have instead of this cold radio silence? That's just my way of saying, hope you guys had a great weekend and are PUMPED for this week of waiting! Whooo! No, but seriously, the weekend silence is deafening. You know...for the ears attached to my eyeballs that read all of your posts... iwouldpreferanonymity and balthasar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Squirrel Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) I am cautiously optimistic about this coming week. That's my way of not going crazy. There's a post for you to read. Edited February 5, 2012 by Secret Squirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlibird Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Secret Squirrel, "cautious" optimism would make sense, what with your inherently "secretive" nature. Thus, I will throw caution to the wind on your behalf and just be plain ole optimistic for you! SS (can I call you SS?) will conquer the admissions process this week, just you wait and see! Thanks for your consideration in feeding my habit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolja00 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Genius. February Fanaticism? Ok. Lets do this. I'll pick Stanford, Berkeley, Ohio State, the rest of Duke, Rochester, Chicago, and San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
