PoliSci 2008-2009 Cycle

Recommended Posts

Just got a letter from DGS at Madison (small envelope) dated 2/2. Department has recommended me for admission. Excerpt: "The Graduate School will be notifying you once your admission has been finalized. I will also be providing you with more details of your funding package. For now rest assured that you are guaranteed full tuition, a stipend, and inexpensive health care coverage for at least five years as you make normal progress through the program." Visit dates are 3/26-27.

So if you applied here, go check those mailboxes! Of course, mail may take a couple days longer to get to non-Midwestern locations...

If you remember your student ID, can you do us a favor and tell us what it says for your status? This will help those of us away from our mailboxes to know whether we have a shot...

My status at my.wisc.edu is also still Pending, and if I click through it reads "Your application has been received and is under review. Please refer to this page for updates."

I'm guessing this is because of what the letter says about just being recommended for admission by the department and the grad school needing to finalize my admission. So don't take the lack of an online update as a bad sign.

I had heard that Yale is mid-March. Am I the only one who thinks that? I'd be thrilled about being wrong here. All i have is this stupid little 3 X 5 with the dates written down for projected acceptances from all my programs... but I have no idea where I got this information anymore.

When do I get "caffeinated," dammit!

I see Stanford have started notifying a few social sciences people. They're the people I expect to hear from first and I'm beginning to think they might notify this week. Nervous doesn't cover it at the minute.

Yale, according to the forum, has letters out by the end of this week last year and the year before. Did you hear something from actual faculty about this year specifically? If not, it may be wrong.

Take a look at the results search. "Yale Political Science."

Two for two! Wisconsin comes in with five years of full funding. I'm totally excited -- there are a lot of faculty there that I want to work with. :)

congrats buddy! That must be an awefully good feeling!

I guess UVA won't be notifying us any time today as well.
