IslandBoy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 From the other posts about UCSD, I guess that means a ding for me! Ouch, not a great way to start the season, as it was among my target schools . . . Was there any word on how many applied/were accepted? For the admits, care to share fields and backgrounds? Big congrats to you all (OK, so I am a bit envious)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natofone Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Psilar. On Cornell, Email from a prof or some kind of automated thing? UCSD is much better anyway. Congrats again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliSci Guy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Has everyone gone to bed already lol? No, we're just catatonic from the stress. I can't believe Washington actually updated my status to (basically) "We'll let you know." Crap! What does that mean?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twright Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 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? I have no estimate for you, but I would be very surprised if you're not admitted ... you have strong credentials. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRHopeful Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 IRHopeful -- have you heard from any other schools yet besides Virginia? Other than being rejected by Yale last week, nothing yet. Cornell and Duke are probably next for me. If Cornell is done notifying admits/waitlists, then I guess I'm out. It doesn't seem like they started notifying until late in the day though, so maybe they're still in the process. I'm anxious to hear from UVA about funding, that's for sure...

ivyreject Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ...at one of my schools. He looked at my application and thinks " it would be useful for us to chat a bit about what we offer." Sounds more like a phone interview than an acceptance or rejection. I'm guessing he wants to help discern whether the institution's resources are well matched to my area of interest?? Still, it was good to hear something from somebody. I get the feeling that none of my places will be notifying for a few more weeks, whereas most of you have some, if not most, of your decisions already. By the time my schools admit and reject, I might be here celebrating and/or crying by myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poststructuralist Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Any word from Northwestern besides the few acceptances posted on the results page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyTheory Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Any word from Northwestern besides the few acceptances posted on the results page? No but an admit from last week said her letter was dated (I believe) "February 12" so I can only hope that they'll be notifying tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, how are other theorists doing? Anyone else apply to Johns Hopkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlayla Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Congrats! Was it a graduate secretary or a professor? What field are you? Yo, the email was from Jasjeet Singh Sekhon, Associate Professor and Chair, Graduate Admissions Committee. I'm comparativist, Middle East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From PoliSciJobRumors: The skepticism about Northwestern is unwarranted (unless my decision link disappears). I know of two other people who have been admitted (one personally, the other PM'd me from the Gradcafe). We are all theorists, so it may be that the Theory decisions have been made. I know a comparativist who does not have a decision yet. uh oh fellow theorists who applied to NW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
