I was told by the grad sec at Georgetown last week that most decisions would be coming out mid-march....I know some people have already heard but I don't think they are done yet.

Thank goodness for that.. i was starting to freak out.. Georgetown and Johns Hopkins is my last hope... :D

CAPoliSciPhD and yinz_guys, have either of you heard anything back from Colorado??

I applied to the masters prom (thought I might have better chance of being accept if they compared my file to MA applicants instead of PhDs).

expatbayern, any news from WashU?

I'm waitlisted for funding

To the folks that got into Michigan -- what were your funding packages like? I just got my letter and it wasn't as good as I was expecting. 15 k for 5 years plus 3k for two summers, but they make you apply to outside sources 4th and 5th years.

Did other people get the same thing?

I figured Brown was a bit out of my realm of possibility, and had never heard anything positive or negative about UMass. The only reason I contacted Northeastern is that, after getting rejected by my safety school (BC) and anticipating a rejection from MIT, if I don't get into BU, I may not have any other options (in Boston).

Maybe others are in this situation, regardless of the relative prestige of the schools to which we applied.

At what point do we just say, "Forget about it."

How much have you just been applying to schools you like? And how much have you been emailing professors months in advance and asking about fit/research opportunities etc? So much about acceptance to places is building rapport....
