That was me. I received an e-mail this morning from the graduate director stating that they had accepted me, and will be sending information regarding any financial offers via postal mail. Buffalo was my safety school, but it still feels good to get admitted into the program.

Congrats! :)

I stopped myself from applying to Buffalo as I heard that what with the state budget in NY being a mess the funding situation in SUNYs is pretty dismal.

Wow very impressive... i'm surprised Yale rejected you.. makes me a bit worry about my fate.. when did they reject you?

I thought the same thing. It could have resulted from the area studies vs generalist divide within comparative. Some departments have hangups on area specialists. Unless I'm mistaken, Yale isn't known as one of the area studies schools (like Chicago, Michigan, Berkeley). I suspect she/he'll be getting into a slew of places very soon.

I fear you are correct about the opportunity for funding. The language of the e-mail seemed very cautious, as to warn admits not to expect anything significant with regards to funding.

COME ON STANFORD!!!!!!!!

I can't take much more of this.

Couldn't have said it any better myself! My mother-in-law doesn't know I've applied and she's coming over to babysit today. This means either no checking the forum for results - or I have to sneak glances. But I'd be much happier if we had some news before she arrives in about an hour. Say, you think the DGS would be sympathetic and give me a sneak peek at results? Yeah right! :wink:

I'm still waiting for UVA to get on with it and officially tell me something. Anyone have any estimate of how long it could be until they send out the second "wave" of answers?

Please post something here if you do in fact hear back from UVA. I am with you on this one. Do you mind telling me what your sub-field is? I am guessing it could be different according to sub-field, but I could always be wrong.
