twright Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I also applied to UVA and have not heard anything. I must say I'm somewhat surprised by the amount of interest in UVA.

flyingwalrus Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I'm the texas am admit. came home and there was a UPS overnighted package with the acceptance letter. preview weekend is the weekend of mach 20th. anyone else? Congrats. TAMU's got a pretty good program. College Station isn't much, but the department has killer facilities and financial resources.
spark25 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Which schools are expected to notify the applicants next week. Perhaps we can put a list together each week of schools that have in the past years notified students during the same time frame.
canpolisci Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Hello Everyone, I am also an addition to the community and would like to introduce myself after observing the site for the past few weeks. I am currently finishing my undergrad degree in Political Science at a top 10 (bottom half) school in Canada. CGPA

Perhaps we can put a list together each week of schools that have in the past years notified students during the same time frame. Excepting the schools that we have already heard from -- UC-Davis, Emory, Illinois, Michigan State, and aTm -- the list for this week includes: ALMOST GUARANTEED North Carolina (and from my information they're very close) Ohio State (many, if not all, of us got our status changed, so it looks like they're mobilizing) Virginia Wisconsin POTENTIALLY UCLA (sent out a batch of rejections February 5 last year) WUSTL UC-Berkeley Stanford Yale I think that's about it for this week. My guesses for the week are UNC, OSU, UVA, UW-Madison, UCB, and Yale. I also guess that OSU will be next. Continued good luck to all!
plisar Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Any reason why you think we will hear from Wisconsin? They don't usually respond until mid-month historically. Do you have inside information?
catchermiscount Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Oh, they were the first to reject me when I applied back in 2007 (I believe it was February 2). Now, I was an incredibly shaky candidate, so it's certainly possible that they just wanted rid of me sooner than later. So yeah...no inside info and probably erroneous. High five, me!

CAPoliSciPhD Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Coloardo should go under the potentially list. There isn't much information on the results page, but people did hear back at the end of Jan/first week of Feb.
convex Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 It looks like Stanford and UCLA are the schools we should hope NOT to hear from next week, since all of the early notifications were negative.
twright Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I just want to hear from Virginia and WUSTL. To be honest, I've lost interest in the other schools I applied to...
twright Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I'm replying to myself. That last post should have said that I want to hear from Northwestern, Virginia, and WUSTL. The other schools have lost my interest...
spark25 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Hopefully, we are expected to hear back from 10 schools and I have only one on that list of ten. Which means, all the other schools will come much later on for me. I really hate this waiting process. It is burning me out! At least we have the Super Bowl in about an hours time!!
yinz_guys Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 ....and the Puppy Bowl! ...and the Kitty Half-Time Show.
fenderpete Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 It looks like Stanford and UCLA are the schools we should hope NOT to hear from next week, since all of the early notifications were negative. I thought there were some Stanford acceptances in the first week of February?
convex Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Sort of. The results search showed a big wave of rejections on 02/06, and then acceptances started trickling in 3 or 4 days later. Edit: UCLA, in contrast, is quite a bit more bleak, with a bunch of early rejections and no acceptances until the second or third week in Feb. I really don't want to hear from UCLA next week.
sam123 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 so i guess UVA would be the first of my list to hear from... unrelated, i'd like to ask a silly question...why do all these programs stress on their sites that no decisions will be rendered thru email or phone, yet people do seem to find out in this way?
convex Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I think that's code for "don't call us or email us."

I know what you mean.. its annoying...
convex Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Less annoying than if they actually relied on old fashioned mail.
fenderpete Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Less annoying than if they actually relied on old fashioned mail. Which apparently Chicago do. Good thing they're bottom of my list.
