student90210 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I would say WUSTL is almost done with acceptance letters, last year 7 were reported on gradcafe, this year we already got 5... Sad, I know, I was hoping for that email...
rkmattson Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Any brave soul here willing to take one for the team and call UCLA? I'll email them! I've gotten a lot of responses that way. PDCU 1
Mnemonics2 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Do you think they know gradcafe exists? Yea, I guarantee a few do too. A few I've met in the past have said how informative it is to look after decisions are out (so they can try and gauge responses I guess?).
Carlinoncampus Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Long time lurker, just got waitlisted at Chicago. Does anybody know how often it happens that one gets off the waitlist?
Longtime Lurker Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Congrats! Out of interest, what sub-field are those who have heard from Chicago? A friend of mine who was also accepted studies American politics. The email also went to his spam folder, by the way. Edited February 5, 2013 by Longtime Lurker
RiffRam Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Since I haven't gotten an interview with the University of Washington, should I consider that as a rejection?
PolyWonk Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Congrats to everyone! Dang! 73 people... noon CST is a hot time to be here! Edited February 5, 2013 by PolyWonk
Guest plscIR Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Since I haven't gotten an interview with the University of Washington, should I consider that as a rejection? I hope not. I haven't heard anything from U of C. I don't think I can handle two rejections at the same time.
mutatismutandis Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 First of all, i had to look up "their ears were burning," that's a great phrase, I'm going to use it more often. second, it said "Greetings from U Chicago!" and its entire text was "see attached." Attached was a very nice letter detailing the stipend for which I've been "recommended," lord only knows what that means, visiting students day/travel stipend (it's march 7-8), and the itinerary for visiting students day. I hope your all good news comes soon! (Also i meant to say, UCSD, the school from which I got rejected last week). For half a minute this morning I was considering applying to their masters program, and also to a variety of other jobs for next year, but now i know, I'm in somewhere i'm very happy with. I feel like Biggie- "It was all a dream, I used to read word up magazine..." Congrats! Gives me hope that I might still get into my higher ranked choices. Nice touch with the Biggie Smalls reference.
CGMJ Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Yea, I guarantee a few do too. A few I've met in the past have said how informative it is to look after decisions are out (so they can try and gauge responses I guess?). That's great!
TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Sorry to everyone who just got the rough news.
lisasimpson Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Haha, the first reject from UWMadison......it hurts a little bit. Two more to go.
forestgreen Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 in at chicago!!!!!!!!! admit weekend is going to be tough, though... the one weekend my mom's in town to visit!
Quigley Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Bummer. Been waiting for the rejection e-mail from Wisconsin, but it still stings a bit. I'll be taking my Wisconsin sweatshirt to Goodwill this week. PoliSwede 1
Wemayet Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Oh no, UW bloodbath today! UW massacre Damn! Type "political science" in the results search, and your screen will bleed cheese!! That's the first time I've seen a half-page hammering go out at once.
MinnesotaWinter Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 UW massacre The streets run red with Badger blood at noon... or something like that.
RiffRam Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Part of the UWMadison massacre. Oh well, I guess.
zzzzzz Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 congrats chicago admits. mind sharing your subfields?
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Condolences to the rejects...We still have a long way to go.
TCJ2060 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 For the people who had phone or Skype interviews for Vandy: did they say anything about when they were planning on letting you/other know by?
PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Congrats to all the recent admits, and apologies to the UWMadison casualties! For the rest of us i guess no news is... No news...
CGMJ Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 anyone else feeling left out? I've gotten no decisions yet, which I guess is a good thing for UCSD, but a bad thing for UCLA, Chicago, Duke and NYU!
