shavasana Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just received an acceptance e-mail from Rice! I could not possibly be happier, this was my first choice and the first school I've heard back from. I hope everyone enjoys this elation soon! Congratulations!!! I will claim the Stanford acceptance that just popped up on the survey. No word on funding yet, but they said it would come soon. I am honestly shocked and so so incredibly grateful.

blackcoffee64 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just got off the phone with UW Seattle, no decision but they wanted to call me and tell me they are "very excited" about my application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Rochester is indeed still calling people; was just admitted in a phone call from Lawrence Rothenberg. I can claim one of the Rochester acceptances. Seems like calls started going out Friday with official info coming this week, unsure if they have already called everyone who they're accepting though it sounded like maybe they hadn't (just guessing). Just received an acceptance e-mail from Rice! I could not possibly be happier, this was my first choice and the first school I've heard back from. I hope everyone enjoys this elation soon!

Anonymouse Bosch Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 When I search the results page on grad cafe I usually use (politics|government|political) so I nearly crapped myself when I say University of Toronto listed, luckily it was for: Department For The Study Of Religion (Religion, Culture, Politics) Anybody else applying to Canadian schools?

shavasana Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Woah that is awesome! Was it a professor who called? Thank you! Lisa Blaydes called to tell me and I received my funding letter just a few minutes ago. 28k/year with 3500 summer funding and 1000 in discretionary funds.

Now I just want all of you to get some good news too!!! What a package, congrats!! And congrats to RWBG too! Claiming one more MIT admit for this board; I am quite exhilarated. It's my birthday today so I don't think I need any other present. The prof told me my package in the mail should arrive today, so I hope it is there and I get to see what the funding is like.

CooCooCachoo Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Got to love the clairvoyant who predicted to be accepted into the Univ of Texas - Dallas on the 17th of this month. If he/she would be so kind as to make some prognoses for my admissions as well, I'd be much obliged. Oh and even if today seems to be a wasted day for me, tomorrow strikes me as the most appropriate day for universities to declare their love for and to me. I'll even accept letters unaccompanied by roses, heart-shaped boxes and teddy bears. Thanks.

The Monday news on Stanford seemed to have falsified the claim that Stanford had made all offers out by last weekend. Though I don't know if there'll be any more offers out.

That is so wonderful!!! Congratulations and happy birthday! My advice would be to go out and celebrate, my friend! Congrats! Is Blaydes your POI? The Monday news on Stanford seemed to have falsified the claim that Stanford had made all offers out by last weekend. Though I don't know if there'll be any more offers out. She was one. I hadn't spoken to her previously, but her research is relevant to my own (media in the Middle East and transnational security issues). I am so far over the moon I'm orbiting somewhere around Saturn.

WorldMan Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Congratulations on all acceptances! Please, spread joy! If you got accepted to your first choice (and with acceptable funding), please, send a decline notice to your other grad schools. It will help the others (who are still in limbo) to get their "Good News" messages during the next (hopefully) wave of acceptances. Peace!

Secret Squirrel Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I disagree. While you should decline offers from places that you will not reasonably accept, do not decline all non first choices until you visit. You may find that the person you want to work with is intolerable, or that you don't like the environment, or a host of other things.
