polisci applicant Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The email did use my first name after "Dear", but nothing else personal. Take that for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatbayern Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Congrats to the Harvard admits. Nothing in my email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackassjim Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Was it sent out/written in such a way that we should assume rejection if we didn't get anything? In short: yes. I'm sorry to be so pessimistic for those still waiting. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twright Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 has anyone gotten their rejections from columbia yet? and is it odd that i got accepted to all the public schools i applied to and rejected from all the private? hmm. I'd take Berkeley and Michigan over most of those private schools anyway, but hey that's just me. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plisar Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Officially in at UW-Seattle, with a first year fellowship. They only admitted seven people this year out of 220. Wow...what a bad year to apply to grad school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aw02 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 In short: yes. I'm sorry to be so pessimistic for those still waiting. :cry: not to be too optimistic, but the email (which I just got!) was pretty standard and impersonal. it was just like the emails from other places that ended up notifying waitlisted people much later. so i don't think it rules out the waitlist option.

driftwood Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm the University of Washington-Seattle theory admit on the results board. Would have mentioned it yesterday, just felt a bit sheepish posting about in the middle of people getting their Harvard acceptances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsmn36 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I don't suppose anyone has some insider info on Georgetown's Security Studies MA? I noticed Public Policy all over the result board, but not a single SS. I'm already figuring I'm out on the wave of PhD accepts, but I'm really crossing my fingers for the MA.

hopeful2 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 to those waiting for NYU, i just got an email from the grad coordinator that they are still evaluating applications. any idea what's happening with MIT admissions...they fedex'ed selected applicants yesterday. so you don't get a letter today/tomorrow, there is no chance. those who did not hear back from chicago were rejected. i emailed a professor. i was also curious if many people emailed professors about their interests earlier...so they fight for you in the admissions committee.
