lisasimpson Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I know the MAGES admissions committee was meeting last Friday (with decisions expected this week), so final decisions were probably also being made by the political science department at the same time. *fingers crossed* Oh Boy..... another week of terrible productivity has just started chaetzli 1
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I've never heard of "rejected off waitlist." Weird. Sorry. Edit: By that I mean, I didn't realize we could lose after being allowed to hang on a hook. Yea, i guess there is a set number of spots and a set number of offers out. If people do not reject by a certain time frame, if you are on the waitlist you lose.
AmericanQuant Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Has anyone in American heard from Yale?
doctoralgrad23 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I got SUNY Binghamton provisional offer now.. They wait a financial statment from me but I will use goverment scholarship to fund my PhD and firstly I need to show to the govermental office a document proving my admission offer. What should I do now? :wacko:

doctoralgrad23 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Show the government your admission offer... Yes, I will but firstly I need hard copy of letter and then I can start the process. It may take 2-3 months..problem?
GopherGrad Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Yes, I will but firstly I need hard copy of letter and then I can start the process. It may take 2-3 months..problem? I would be shocked if they didn't FedEx you a letter over night if you told them you needed it to get full funding from an outside source.
fjn Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Did any theory people here apply to the Committee on Social Thought at Chicago? I know they're perhaps notoriously Straussian, but thought I'd check. I'm currently waitlisted there and dying for more info, so curious to hear anyone's thoughts/news...
BornAndRaised Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone know when we're gonna hear from Chicago on MAPSS/CIR? If I remember right, someone said we'd heard end of last week/early this week.
CGMJ Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Congrats to Indiana, SUNY B, and LSE! Otherwise a slow morning...
rkmattson Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone know when we're gonna hear from Chicago on MAPSS/CIR? If I remember right, someone said we'd heard end of last week/early this week. Yeah that was me - I had called the department on Tuesday last week and they said either by the end of that week or early next week. Then I got an email response to the email I had sent a few days earlier and she said the absolute latest we'll hear is the 28th.... So either way it'll be sometime this week....

I hope they let us know soon.
PoliSwede Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Penn State rejects via postal service? I guess what I'm waiting for then.
PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Just think only about 6 weeks till decision day. And then we are out of the woods this is a happy thought! after such a slow week last week, I am just ready to know the remaining decisions - yay or nay. some closure, please!!

BornAndRaised Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 JHU rejections through post? What about us international students?
PoliSwede Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I feel like decision day should be like the NFL/NHL drafts. You walk up on stage at Madison Square Garden (or somewhere else), shake hands with your new program, answer questions for journalists, and enjoy the spotlight for a bit. Would be awesome.

I've had similar thoughts! This should be like National Signing Day for college football. Sit at a table with the hats of you prospective schools, then select one as camera flashes are going off and people are cheering! One can dream. teamind 1
CGMJ Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Congrats to Yale wait list! Care to share the details?
CGMJ Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Also, is anyone else ready to be done with schools that use applyyourself? The logging out error message is driving me crazy! rkmattson and eponine997 2
pnb24 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Does somebody know the MA in Conflict Resolution that Georgetown offers?
hopefully2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Does somebody know the MA in Conflict Resolution that Georgetown offers? Yes, know about it
zzzzzz Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 officially rejected from Yale- got an email to check the site. They said they had 10,500 applicants - This just HAS to be for all of the grad school, I am assuming.

USCoregonian Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Does somebody know the MA in Conflict Resolution that Georgetown offers? I got my MA in the government department at GU (not the conflict res program) so I'm very familiar with it. I had many friends that really enjoyed their time in the program and had solid job prospects afterwards. Others thought it was a bit touchy feely and not applicable to the real world, but I guess that's the case in any conflict res program. The faculty in the GU government department are absolutely fantastic on the whole and if you want to take classes in SFS you can.
BornAndRaised Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Ouch. The Yale rejection really stings. Sorry my fellow rejected applicants. =(
