zzzzzz Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I have a job, but I guess I'll just do some really haphazard work this month.
sirchuckles Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I saw one person place an acceptance up on the board last Thursday to Political Science, but I don't know if that was true or not. I wish someone would come forward and claim it. I think it may have been a false flag. I mentioned a little while back that the WashU admit is mine, so definitely not a false posting. It does seem strange that no one else has heard anything though, so I'm not sure what to make of that!

It does seem strange that no one else has heard anything though, so I'm not sure what to make of that! Ah, congratulations! It is very strange. What is your specialty, though? I'm probably waiting on the most in demand area there, and I think this one may have been American politics. Correct me if I'm wrong!
polisciftw Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I am still in UCSD limbo (i.e. nervous waiting). I wonder what is happening there. I have half a mind to call the department.

I didn't see your post previously, wasn't trying to call you a liar, but lots of false flags come up around here!! I'm trying to get into a heavy quant. emphasis with political economy and comparative/IR. I'm pretty sure that's their cup of tea.

Yeah, my focus is on American with a secondary focus on methodology, especially modeling. Hope that helps!
brkrgal85 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Thanks! Yeah, my focus is on American with a secondary focus on methodology, especially modeling. Hope that helps! Definitely! Thankfully, I've gotten into another school that fits that criteria, but I'm still hoping for at least the opportunity to choose or not choose!
zzzzzz Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I am still in UCSD limbo (i.e. nervous waiting). I wonder what is happening there. I have half a mind to call the department.In the same boat. Let us know what they say if you do!
CGMJ Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) I am still in UCSD limbo (i.e. nervous waiting). I wonder what is happening there. I have half a mind to call the department. Me too. Because I have lots of things nothing better to do and am feeling super neurotic industrious, I was looking at past years of UCSD decisions. In 2012, nearly all of their admits were sent on Feb 9-10, and nearly all rejects on Feb 10. If their timing is the same this year (in terms of sending all decisions in a few days), perhaps we'll hear something today? Edited February 4, 2013 by CGMJ
polisciftw Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Possibly, but the pattern there is the inverse of what has occurred so far this year. They've sent out quite a number of rejections and so far no admits — or at least none that have popped up here.

If their timing is the same this year (in terms of sending all decisions in a few days), perhaps we'll hear something today? See this was my logic (not for UCSD, but for other schools that reported last year on the 9-10th). Is it fair to say that that week last year is this week this year?
TCJ2060 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Congrats to everyone who has gotten good news! And for those still anxiously waiting to hear something, anything, you're in good company! Is anyone else who got into FSU going to the recruitment weekend in March? Would be cool to meet (electronically at least) some people beforehand.

I will be there - it is likely where I'm attending, actually. I got an awesome offer there.

Probably just wishful thinking...
zzzzzz Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Do we think NYU is done sending out acceptances?

CGMJ Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Do we think NYU is done sending out acceptances? Who knows! (Unless someone has talked to the department...?). By my count, people reported 10 acceptances for 2012 (most accepted on 10 Feb; rejections were sent on March 1-2). We've seen only 2 accepts so far, right? So, there are probably more to come unless people just aren't posting their NYU decisions this year. The department says that they usually admit around 35 students.
stich09 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Ohio state has the same visitation day as FSU, at least according to the dates my POI's have told me, so I'm going to have to figure that out.
zzzzzz Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 By bad, I guess we've seen 4?I think six? but yeah i guess the number is still a little low, even if only a certain percentage reports here.
balledematch Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Ohio state has the same visitation day as FSU, at least according to the dates my POI's have told me, so I'm going to have to figure that out. Have you gotten anything official from the department at OSU yet? I'm in London, and therefore the mail could move slower over here. What day is the admitted students visit?

I've really picked up on my exercise recently, and some of that maybe this process. You applied to Wash U, Wemayet? I'm dying to hear from them. They say on their website first week of February. I don't expect to get into WashU; not sure I'd be a great "fit", but there are a lot of things to like about that program. Congratulations, SirChuckles, by the way. In 2012, their admits went out between Wednesday and Friday (according to a results search) and I would expect the same this week. For some insane reason, I didn't apply to FSU. Didn't realize how many good people in my areas of interest are there. Kicking myself for that because I'd have heard from a school by now if I had applied, rather than sitting here having heard from none! Before, after, during work... the spot on my ipad where the refresh wheel is located is now programed into my muscle memory - I can hit it without even looking at the ipad. It takes a couple secs to reload, then I sneak a peak. Sad, but true...

It's one of those schools that ranks really well, but no one has paid attention, because they didn't used to have that kind of rep. I looked at it, because of the fact that it's about 5 hours from home, and it happened to be a great program, too.
CGMJ Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Congrats on UCLA! Did you just get that email?...
