PoliSci Guy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Any idea on Columbia plisar? Oh guru of admissions info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technocat Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 OK, I just called Chicago, the secretary said that acceptances will go out sometime in the next two weeks, but they are shooting/hoping for next week. Good to know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I find it hard to believe that UChicago is cutting admittance by 50% or more this year. I wish it's not the case. Thanks for the UChicago admit notification news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I am applying as a South Asia comparativist, and hoping to crack at least UCB, Stanford or PRinceton. So far very happy about UCB I didn't apply to Berkeley as at first I was pretty sure I won't get in with my horrible undergrad grades. Later I had second thoughts but then I was not sure whether they accept 3-year British format Honors undergrad degrees from my country (like most North American grad schools). Also, it was way too late by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderpete Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 And I just broke down and called Princeton and their secretary told me acceptances go out end of Feb/beginning of March. Thanks, good to know. Thanks for the Columbia update PolSci Guy, sounds like it'll be a while. Probably a couple more weeks to endure then.

AllFiredUp Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Anyone else still waiting on UT-Austin?? I see that some acceptances were posted late yesterday afternoon.... Yes, still waiting. It seems those admitted yesterday were unfunded. Perhaps they are waiting to offer me a princely stipend. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intapp001 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Lol...I'll keep hoping that too then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technocat Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, still waiting. It seems those admitted yesterday were unfunded. Perhaps they are waiting to offer me a princely stipend. 8) My email said they were "in the process of putting together a multi-year package in order to help fund your graduate study" and would send me specifics soon. I think someone else on the results page also got that email. Not sure what it means exactly, but it sounds like they are notifying both the funded and unfunded people. I wouldn't worry yet though; they seem to have a pretty big cohort and so far only a few people have posted news here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark25 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 hhhmmmm.... Do you guys (and gals) think it is just another quiet morning/afternoon before things start heating up or do you reckon we're done for this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdnicx42 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A friend of mine who has a lot of contacts at UT said that, to her knowledge, the decision/notification process is still going there. Hence, wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys (and gals) think it is just another quiet morning/afternoon before things start heating up or do you reckon we're done for this week? If you are superstitious at all, you should hope we're done for the week, it being Friday the 13th and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following your posts for a bit now as we seem to have quite similar profiles. I don't know much about Wisconsin, but do you feel that you had a good match with the Faculty over there?

scintille Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I spoke to someone on the committee at Michigan today and they said they usually admit 3 people for every 1 spot they want to fill, I'd assume its roughly the same or other schools. Which isn't actually that interesting but its a slow day/week so I'm clinging to any information I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Wisconsin, but do you feel that you had a good match with the Faculty over there? I definitely felt that I had strong matches at Wisconsin. Given that I didn't get good news from them when everyone was accepted, this isn't too big of a surprise. That said, I thought Wisc. was a good match and a place I would have been happy, so I really thought I'd get in there. Jackassjim: Congrats on your acceptances. It looks like you have some fun choices to make. For the other poster: The letter was dated Feb. 10th and postmarked Feb 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjh19 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 There was a suggestion a few pages back that UNC could come out late in the day today, but I don't remember if that was based on information or hunches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormegil Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Also someone said something about Northwestern starting today and continuing into next week. That was me informing about the Northwestern admits. I was told by the grad program assistant that they will start notifying later today and continue to next week. Maybe it's not too late? Or maybe they have called it quits for good and will start afresh with the notifications on monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too bad. Thanks for the words, but unfortunately, I am affected by the dreaded "two-body" problem, and my spouse was not as lucky as I in this cycle. Looks like one of the only places I could for sure go is Michigan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
