whirlibird Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Congrats!!! I know the feeling; felt the same way after Wisconsin. Also, is it just me, or is the gradcafe server not built to handle mid-February? Yeah, it gets crazy! I imagine that I'm in "refresh" wars with invisible people...trying to hit it faster than they can... But then the board is still far slower than I imagined it would be.
kolja00 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Any new word from Yale? I know a couple people posted they had interviews on the 13th and 14th.
mistralesque Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Thank you! I was the one that posted -- heard back on Friday, February 3rd. I am not sure where they are at in terms of admissions decision, but I am speaking to someone from there tomorrow and can poke around a bit. Good luck! Thanks, L119. Very generous of you to offer to putter around. Good luck to you too!
Eudaimonia Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Congrats to those accepted by Cornell! I'm still waiting to hear from them...
Otherworlder Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Hi, everyone! First time poster, long time lurker. I posted today's Columbia acceptance -- got an email from POI earlier to let me know that I had been accepted with fellowship (details forthcoming). I am also in at Stanford, Michigan and Berkeley's Jurisprudence and Social Policy program so far, with concentrations in political philosophy/legal theory/public law. Good luck to everyone still waiting, and I'd love to be in touch with anyone planning to attend admitted students events at any of the schools mentioned above! Congrats!! What an impressive roster, lol. So I am guessing you are a theorist?
wmplax Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Congrats to those accepted by Cornell! I'm still waiting to hear from them... You're a theory person, correct? If so, what kind of theory do you focus on? And who was your POI at Cornell? Can anyone tell me what Cornell's general reputation in the field is, and in particular their reputation for theory?
Adornopolisci2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 You're a theory person, correct? If so, what kind of theory do you focus on? And who was your POI at Cornell? Can anyone tell me what Cornell's general reputation in the field is, and in particular their reputation for theory? It's my impression that theory is Cornell's strongest subfield (except maybe comparative-Sidney Tarrow). Cornell is a great place and they place very well.
Ironheel!! Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 It's my impression that theory is Cornell's strongest subfield (except maybe comparative-Sidney Tarrow). Cornell is a great place and they place very well. Everyone knows Cornell's strongest field is their A Cappella groups. However, doesn't get much better than Tarrow!
CooCooCachoo Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 It's my impression that theory is Cornell's strongest subfield (except maybe comparative-Sidney Tarrow). Cornell is a great place and they place very well. I would argue that for a constructivist approach to IR, Cornell ranks as one of the best schools as well (P. Katzenstein & Evangelista).
sweater Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Actually comparative/IR are Cornell's strengths (Cornell is a great place to study theory, but comparative and IR dominate). Tarrow is emeritus; he doesn't advise anymore.
Eudaimonia Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Well, Cornell makes US News's list for the Theory subfield at #17, for Comparative at #11 and for IR at #13 (obviously rankings aren't everything but they give you an idea) & I've heard nice things about them from professors. I'll PM you the info on my research interests & POI.

Pretty dauntingly exciting to know that I'll be in the US within half a year. Congratulations, CooCooCachoo. I would assume that you will have more options by the end of the cycle, but I know what a relief it is to receive that first acceptance. Also - congrats are in order for those who have claimed acceptances to UG, UVa, Columbia, Cornell, Conneticut, Arizona, WUSTL, Binghamton, and Kentucky. It is fulfulling to see so many people from this forum receive good news. CooCooCachoo, Immanuel Boole and whirlibird 2 1
balthasar Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Congrats CooCooCachoo!! It was high time you heard some good news. CooCooCachoo 1
CooCooCachoo Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks guys! Much appreciated, and I hope (more) good news is coming your way soon too.
CairoKid Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Congrats to everyone that has gotten accepted somewhere! I hope to hear back from my programs soon! (Still haven't heard a thing.) Then I can join in the celebrations. =) Immanuel Boole 1
balledematch Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Damn....another day of nothing. Sad. Congrats to all that heard good news today! Immanuel Boole 1

Eudaimonia Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Who wants to bet tomorrow's gonna be a big day? Positive thinking can't hurt. Here's to everyone receiving good news!
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Who wants to bet tomorrow's gonna be a big day? I am expecting NU to release more notifications tomorrow or the next day. I hope for tomorrow. Edited because I am spelling impaired.

Eudaimonia Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I am expecting NU to release more notifications tomorrow or the next day. I hope for tomorrow. Edited because I am spelling impaired. Ooh, are you basing this expectation on something? I hope you're right.
iwouldpreferanonymity Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Ooh, are you basing this expectation on something? I hope you're right. Yes, I am. While my hopes might not be grounded on much, my expectations usually are. More seriously, I spoke with the Ms. Syskowski last Friday. She indicated that notifications should be sent out by this Friday. So, there is reason to hope, it seems. Eudaimonia and twenty-twelve 2

Thanks so much for sharing this.
grantman Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Based on the results posted today I suspect I will hear back from Illinois, more than likely with a rejection.
