twright Posted January 31, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats. TAMU's got a pretty good program. College Station isn't much, but the department has killer facilities and financial resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark25 Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canpolisci Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plisar Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchermiscount Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convex Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twright Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twright Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark25 Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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!!

fenderpete Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convex Posted February 1, 2009 Share 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 Share 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?
