TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 It's not over until you have the rejection letter. Very true.
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Congrats to the Boulder admits! Edited February 1, 2013 by TakeMyCoffeeBlack
polisciguy21 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Really hoping for the rest of UNC! Absolutely. Really anxious for that!
chaetzli Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 It's a bummer, but I've got 5 other schools I'm waiting on, and I'm a Fulbright finalist. As my adviser said today, if I'm lucky enough to get the Fulbright but not a Ph.D. acceptance, I've got a chance to apply again with more direction and a Fulbright. So, regardless, fingers crossed that something comes around! Hey, I am also a Fulbright grantee. At the moment I actually regret that they are handling most of my applications. I haven't heard of my IIE officer since Dec and thus don't know whether I'm accepted or rejected at Madison/OSU. This waiting games is hard enough and it really sucks that they cannot inform you about your status immediately. One of my POI at a top school STRONGLY recommended that I do not let IIE apply on my behalf and in the case that I get into their program I should decline the Fulbright grant. Congrats to all the new admits!
Quigley Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Absolutely. Really anxious for that! I'm anxious to find out who I might meet at the visitation! Crossing my fingers for you guys.

chaetzli Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Ummmm.... what happened to 16 days with no internet, phone, or email? Missed us too much? How's Thailand??? Haha, I know. Still a bit jet-lagged. Couldn't sleep at night and read GC. But at least I am not checking my mail 24/7. It's sooo beautiful! Thanks for asking! Quigley 1
Quigley Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Maybe UCLA? I think in the past they have released some funded offers by now. I think UCLA could be tomorrow and if not, then very soon. I posted earlier to see if anyone had checked in more recently -- but a little over 2 weeks ago I heard that they were trying to wrap things up within a couple of weeks.
polisciftw Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 For your UCLA obsessive pleasure, viola the application status page! https://www.gradadmissions.ucla.edu/newapp/Login.asp?topage=AdmissionStatus.asp

Anybody know otherwise? (Actually... for the sake of my suffering 8am-5pm productivity, maybe don't tell me if there indeed is one.) Edited February 1, 2013 by Quigley
RWBG Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 For your UCLA obsessive pleasure, viola the application status page! https://www.gradadmissions.ucla.edu/newapp/Login.asp?topage=AdmissionStatus.asp They do not update this. My offer from last year still isn't on the status checker.
polisciftw Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Berkeley should update the status of your application when you log into their application page.
PoliSciLaw Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Random but does anyone have any idea about USC? I got an email from them last week requesting an original copy of my international transcript in the case that the committee would like to nominate me to their top fellowship and if I could get it to them asap but haven't heard back since. I would love to have a general idea so my nerves don't keep fraying every time I get a phone call!
Quigley Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 They do not update this. My offer from last year still isn't on the status checker. Oh geez... well good to know now I guess. Thanks for the tip!
Policy_wonk Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Just FYI: Accepted to A&M! Got the email last week...just found this site now.
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Does anyone just want a new start. Go to a place where no one knows their name. Research their hearts out on poli sci issues. Just create a whole new life.I know I do.Been in the same place for almost 20 yrs (-1 yr for leaving), im so ready for something new and exciting..even if it costs me several nights per week at the library. Quigley 1
Quigley Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, I am 100% with you. There are about a million and one reasons why I can't wait to start my life over. It can't come soon enough.

Been in the same place for almost 20 yrs (-1 yr for leaving), im so ready for something new and exciting..even if it costs me several nights per week at the library. I'm definitely ready for a change, i just hope I get the chance! I know it's still so early and my schools (besides Pitt) haven't released decisions yet, but i've been feeling pessimistic yesterday and today. I hope it passes quickly and that good news is on the horizon for me and everyone else who's still waiting...
PoliSwede Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Friday! Will the AdComms crush our hopes and dreams right before the weekend? Let's hope they give us reason (s) to celebrate instead! ohgoodness, GradWifey and scanthiliad 3
polisciapplicant210 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I have a friend who just found out she was wait listed at Duke, so I am assuming they are making decisions . Thanks for letting us now. I guess that today is the day. I'm excited.
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I hope Pitt and UNC finish their preliminary work today...I'd like to know either way. Then I'll have at least a week or two before I'll start obsessing again.
TTP25 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I hope Pitt and UNC finish their preliminary work today...I'd like to know either way. Then I'll have at least a week or two before I'll start obsessing again. Me too. After Pitt, I won't have to worry for a while. It would be nice to know either way.
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Waitlisted at GMU Sorry to hear it MarketMan. But you're still one acceptance ahead of me!
