expfcwintergreen Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) 'Nother Berkeley reject checking in. On the bright side, I finally got my funding offers from Davis and Pitt - nothing like people offering you free money to take the sting off your first rejection. Edit: @jsclar and saltlakecity: My last name is in the middle of the alphabet, so I don't think they're going alphabetically. Edited February 24, 2012 by expfcwintergreen
Overtherainbow Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Well, it looks like my cycle is almost over. Now to the choice between accepting the PhD offer or doing master's and reapplying...
goodluck Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 a question: how many people do DC schools, like Georgetown, GWU, American, admit each year? and how many funded?
CafeAuLait12 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 a question: how many people do DC schools, like Georgetown, GWU, American, admit each year? and how many funded? I am not sure about the number of admitted students, but I do know that those schools are notorious for not funding very many of those they do admit.
saltlakecity2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Looks like tomorrow will be another day of waiting on Berkeley. They really like to draw out the agony, apparently. WorldMan and AuldReekie 1 1
goodluck Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I am not sure about the number of admitted students, but I do know that those schools are notorious for not funding very many of those they do admit. how to do a PhD without funding???...
kolja00 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) how to do a PhD without funding???... In DC lots of places like government agencies and think tanks pay for it. Edited February 24, 2012 by kolja00
goodluck Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 In DC lots of places live government agencies and think tanks pay for it. You mean those schools are still very competitive, same as Ivy League?
CairoKid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 In DC lots of places live government agencies and think tanks pay for it. So applicants get jobs that will pay for the degrees? Or do applicants usually already have jobs in DC when applying, and thus know they'll have funding?
PoliSci27 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I am not sure about the number of admitted students, but I do know that those schools are notorious for not funding very many of those they do admit. I'm pretty sure that GTown only funds 6-8. B/c Deneen resigned, I'm pulling my app. (Not that they will care in the least)
goodluck Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I'm pretty sure that GTown only funds 6-8. B/c Deneen resigned, I'm pulling my app. (Not that they will care in the least) then how many will they admit? and how competitive is the program?
Ironheel!! Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 then how many will they admit? and how competitive is the program? Goodluck, not to be a jerk, but independent research is part of the process of graduate school. Its Georgetown, the simple "eye-test" should suffice to suggest that its competitive.
kolja00 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 So applicants get jobs that will pay for the degrees? Or do applicants usually already have jobs in DC when applying, and thus know they'll have funding? They already have jobs. The military does this too a lot, especially for IR>
CairoKid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 On the topic of Georgetown though, did anyone else apply for a dual program there (or anywhere for that matter)?
CairoKid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 They already have jobs. The military does this too a lot, especially for IR> I wonder, if I get accepted, if I can somehow quickly find a job and get them to fund my education. =P Joking. I'm fully aware that I will likely not go to Georgetown or GW, regardless as to whether I get accepted, because I likely wouldn't get funding. 'Tis nice to dream, though.
bauhaus Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Out of berkeley. It s overfor me unless there is some hope in nyu... Is that possible?
goodluck Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Goodluck, not to be a jerk, but independent research is part of the process of graduate school. Its Georgetown, the simple "eye-test" should suffice to suggest that its competitive. why is everywhere so competitive? I should apply for less competitive programs. Sigh...
deleteduser0333 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Two rejections in one day...Ouch...
CairoKid Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Two rejections in one day...Ouch... I feel your pain. Same here.
rogerfed Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 5 rejections in a day. NU, UPenn, Yale, Cornell, Penn State (mail). it couldnt be worse than this
kem140 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 5 rejections in a day. NU, UPenn, Yale, Cornell, Penn State (mail). it couldnt be worse than this I hear you there--I got four: NU, Yale, Penn, Cornell. What a shitty day.

I hope you have heard good news from other schools, or will in the near future.
Snow Fox Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Wowzers, the "politic*" search on the result survey is turning up 106 results so far from today alone... I'll keep hoping for the best for everyone; they've already gotten our application fees, so we have nothing else to lose!
