wuerzburg Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I would agree with that. That said, I called Pittsburgh. According to the school, admissions decisions will not be mailed for a couple of weeks. This clearly contradicts the posted acceptance on the results page, but I thought that I would pass along the info anyway. Maybe they are admitting students in waves? Is the Pitt result a fake then or is somebody going to claim it?
balderdash Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 Does Stanford get back to people all the same day or over a period of time? Usually all at the same time/day. The 2-day spread last year was (if I remember correctly) from people not having checked their emails/phone messages until the following morning.
PoliSci27 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Is the Pitt result a fake then or is somebody going to claim it? Someone mentioned earlier that he has a class (in undergrad) with another person who also received an acceptance. EDIT: A new person just popped up w/ a waitlist. I'm guessing it's real.

Hopefully it's soon!
balthasar Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Come on guys no OSU applicants here? (i think I refreshed my e-mail 12391278041097 times in the past hour)
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 EDIT: A new person just popped up w/ a waitlist. I'm guessing it's real. Seems so. It is confusing, though.
kolja00 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Come on guys no OSU applicants here? (i think I refreshed my e-mail 12391278041097 times in the past hour) I've been refreshing my online app status for OSU for like 2 hours haha. Still says 'In Review'.
potbellypete Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 By the way, re: the earlier talk about a slow thread this year... we're almost at 500 posts in this thread. Last year, we didn't hit that mark until 09 February at 03:51 PM, incidentally from a post by yours truly. Seems things have picked up considerably this year. Just a thought -- this thread was started in August 13 2011. Fall 2011 admission thread was started December 13. That might be the difference. Seems pretty busy regardless!
balthasar Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I've been refreshing my online app status for OSU for like 2 hours haha. Still says 'In Review'. finally!! I could use some solidarity. Best of luck to you kolja, i hope you get in. What is your subfield?
kolja00 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 finally!! I could use some solidarity. Best of luck to you kolja, i hope you get in. What is your subfield? IR
grantman Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I've been refreshing my online app status for OSU for like 2 hours haha. Still says 'In Review'. I am in the same boat. I have checked the app status link through the Graduate College, and all I see is that my application is "In Review." Kolja I am also in the IR field, any partcular area of IR you are focusing on? Mine is Int'l Development. Also, does anyone have any idea with what is going on with Pitt. I see one acceptance and one wait-list. I would think I would have heard something by now even if it is a rejection. Edited February 1, 2012 by grantman iwouldpreferanonymity 1

grantman Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Terrorism and counterinsurgency, basically security studies stuff. Okay very cool. I deal with that a little since my area of interest is state-building and reconstuction efforts after a war, namely civil or intrastate war.
kolja00 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Okay very cool. I deal with that a little since my area of interest is state-building and reconstuction efforts after a war, namely civil or intrastate war. Oh nice. That is basically what my undergrad thesis is about.
saltlakecity2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) No information from UCLA or Duke yet. Please, admission committee gods, send me a sign! Edit: also, balthasar, glad to see someone else is chainsmoking. Edited February 1, 2012 by tergellian Tallow 1
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Also, does anyone have any idea with what is going on with Pitt. I see one acceptance and one wait-list. I would think I would have heard something by now even if it is a rejection. Now there is another waitlist for Pittsburgh. Now I am really confused. I do not know why the department would tell me that admissions decisions would be delivered weeks from now. Perhaps they wanted to avoid telling me that I had been denied, but I did not actually give my name.
kem140 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Is the Pitt result a fake then or is somebody going to claim it? As I mentioned yesterday, a woman in my program was notified of her acceptance to Pitt yesterday afternoon. I am at a Master's program at Pitt and I am currently taking courses in the Political Science department, today I overheard additional discussion about decisions going out. So, the acceptance to Pitt is likely not a fluke given that at least a few students have heard back. Good luck to all who applied and feel free to message me if you have any questions about Pitt or the city. Also, Dr. Woon is great if any of you end up at Pitt!
whirlibird Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Hey guys. Duke's sending out more acceptances, apparently. I'm excited to claim one of them, and hope that there's good news for everyone else, too! We'd be an awesome cohort...just saying. RWBG, iwouldpreferanonymity, CooCooCachoo and 1 other 4

And further congrats to anyone else who receives good news shortly.

Nothing for me yet, but hopefully it will be coming soon. Congrats again!

Also - congrats to everyone else who has either received good news today, or will be receiving it shortly!
whirlibird Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks, everybody! I'm pulling for everyone else! Who wants to matriculate with peeps who aren't rated by how much caffeine they supposedly contain? Not me, I say! No, but, in all seriousness, we've got a sharp group, and I hope we all have great news to share (from multiple schools!) really soon. I need to go back to sleep now...past my bedtime in this time zone.

edost Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Congrats Whirlibird! I'm going to sleep now, and I wonder if there's going to be something in my inbox from Duke when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Kolja I am also in the IR field, any partcular area of IR you are focusing on? Mine is Int'l Development. My subfield is also IR, though mine is more IR theories, state identity, rivalry etc. OSU seems to be sending admission decisions over a few days according to the results of previous years, so hopefully we will all hear some good news this week. Whirlibird congrats on the Duke acceptance!! Fingers crossed for other Duke people
