plisar Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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... https://www.gradsch.wisc.edu/applicants ... 55340f1141 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...
catchermiscount Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Congrats expatbayern! You've got two crappy weather choices to choose from at least :-)
PollyTheory Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 ugh i cant stand the stress of not hearing a peep from any of the schools applied to. i feel like calling some of these schools and asking for the status of my application.. :? By all means, Big Cheese. Just please let us know what you find out :wink:
AllFiredUp Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 My UW status still says pending. Wait, it just changed to "pending doom". What does this mean?
poliscihopeful Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Ehhhhhh!!!! I'm "pending" as well. Well, they can get pent!
BigCheese Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 ugh called yale.. and they are really serious about not giving out any information.. :roll:
expatbayern Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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.
procrastinatrice Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I am perfectly willing to tell anyone who PMs me. I just don't want it to be on the website, in case I am the only one who knows yet, and in case adcoms check this site...I know I am paranoid:)
BigCheese Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 No.. but she sure had a serious attitude.. :roll:
plisar Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 It's probably because they're getting close to release results. Yale is always this week...or very early next week. Hang in there!
poliscihopeful Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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!
fenderpete Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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.

When do I get "caffeinated," dammit! 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."
procrastinatrice Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Oh I still remember my Yale rejection from last year. I think it was February 6th or 7th. It was my first rejection, and boy did it hurt. So I don't think you guys wanna hear from Yale just yet.
plisar Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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.

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.

fenderpete Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Congrats Plisar! You're certainly setting a blistering early pace!!
convex Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I expected someone to hear something from UCLA today, given the news from our UCLA informant.
rlayla Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 jeez, i really wish i had applied to UIUC, wisconsin, UCLA, or Rochester just so I would have freagin heard something by freagin now.
