rogerfed Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just called the UPenn polisci dept to ask if all the acceptances have already been out and it was confirmed that I'm unofficially out. So, if you haven't heard from them, you're out. Not pleasant news but wanted to share. I'm on the same boat with other NW people, still no movement in my page....This is such a painful waiting period. I tried to call the grad coordinator but no one pick up the phone. Has anyone tried to call? Northwestern is certainly driving us crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Fox Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 After the crazy trolling that went down at the end of last week though, I wouldn't be surprised if someone who has President's Day off decided to mess with out hearts again, knowing that Princeton has thus far been completely silent XD ....unless someone wants to start claiming them, in which case, some congrats are in order :-3 kaykaykay and RWBG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovezvezda Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I mean I tried to call the Northwestern grad coordinator I tried the Upenn grad coord. every 30 mins until she gave in I guess People are not always at their desk or they just don't feel like answering the phone as they know it's us who's calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohsnap Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Does it seem suspect to anyone that there were 4 Princeton admits posted relatively close to each other, and yet no one has claimed them or added to that list? I feel like at least the person who was previously 0/6 would want to claim it on the boards... Congrats to those who got in if these claims are real, though.

That's interesting about UPenn, especially since only like two acceptances have been posted so far this cycle. Are you sure that just because you are unofficially out means that everyone is out?

I feel like at least the person who was previously 0/6 would want to claim it on the boards... Congrats to those who got in if these claims are real, though. I'd agree with you. One person posted that they were contacted by a POI, and another by the Grad Coordinator. Wouldn't the process be a little bit more coordinated?

RWBG Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Don't encourage the trolls! If the acceptances are real, I'm sure we'll have at least one claimed acceptance here soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting about UPenn, especially since only like two acceptances have been posted so far this cycle. Are you sure that just because you are unofficially out means that everyone is out? Yes, the lady on the phone (i think her name's Pat Kozak) said that they sent all of the acceptance emails and if I didn't receive one, that means I'm out. She also added that there will be a rejection update on the website too but obviously they're not in a hurry to do so. I hope this answers your question.

balderdash Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 By the way, doesn't Princeton always give official funding? Since every admit is offered a full ride (and reportedly a generous one), I thought each admit email should have it. No? (Perhaps not if it's from a POI though, I suppose.)

Megan Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I tried to call Yale and nobody answered the phone. I did call Columbia because I needed to hear it myself, and the woman confirmed all admits should have received an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwnich1 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The person who said they got a call from the DGS at Princeton couldn't spell administrator properly.

TicToc. Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yes, the lady on the phone (i think her name's Pat Kozak) said that they sent all of the acceptance emails and if I didn't receive one, that means I'm out. She also added that there will be a rejection update on the website too but obviously they're not in a hurry to do so. I hope this answers your question. That's a small yield relative to programs of similar size (at least based on GC results, which, of course, is far from an accurate reflection). Wonder what's going on with Penn?
