eponine997 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 thanks! yes, that's what I was thinking -- if there was an official visit weekend, prospectives may wait until after the visit and then make their final decision about the program within a few days. without an official visit, decisions may trickle out.... Anyway, I'm happy to be on the waitlist.. there's still a chance! Based on your signature block change it looks like you got more than just "a chance," did you get in?!?!? Because that would make me happy, this forum is a lot more fun when people are getting/announcing good news PhDhopeful2013 1
PhDhopeful2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Well, congats on the acceptance!! Happy for you that you didn't have to wait until April 14th to hear the good news thank you! yes - avoiding the April 14th stress is a huge bonus!!

brady Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Just turned down an offer for UT (comparative, funded + extra fellowship). Will likely be turning down a UCLA offer this week as well.
RiffRam Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Officially turned down a funded offer from Arizona. Will be turning down offers from Florida (wait listed for funding) and Arizona State (no funding info) once I figure out how to do so.
apareceu Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 anyone planning to decline UMN or UVA (American Politics subfield)? i am on the high waitlist at both programs and wondering whether i would be able to be accepted off the waitlist.
ehdrums Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Anyone planning on turning down a UPenn offer for American?
frankentheory Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Officially turned down funded offer from Colorado at Boulder. Hope this helps anyone on the wait-list for funding.
certaincertainties Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Just turned down offers from Michigan and Toronto, both in theory (I applied as a Canadian to Toronto). Hope that helps someone! Both are great schools, just not the right fit for me!
PoliSwede Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 If anyone's interested; I turned down a funded offer from Michigan State (IR).
retrrrograde Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Just turned down a funded Maryland offer in IR
Cederstacker Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Turned down funded offers to Maryland and Michigan State. Both in comparative. Also, when talking to Michigan, I got the impression that all their comparative slots were filled. So take that for what it's worth. Best of luck to everybody!
shadi Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Just ask for opinion, Will a school have several wait lists for different subfield like wait list-Theory, wait list-Comparative, wait list-IR? Because I was told that I am the third in the waitlist, I just want to count my chance. Finger crossed...

Because I was told that I am the third in the waitlist, I just want to count my chance. Finger crossed... Are you talking about Maryland? Did you get a sense of how long the waitlist is?? i'm also waiting to hear a response.. it's my top choice! Fingers Crossed... Good Luck! rems 1

alittlebitofluck Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I just turned down funded offers at FSU, Illinois, and Iowa. I do hope that this provides some opportunity to those waitlisted. eponine997 1
