AHL Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'll claim another UCSD acceptance. How would you guys compare UCSD and UW-Madison in American political processes and behavior? AHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestarflag Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Next week's going to be a heavy week...I can feel it...just in time for Valentine's Day. At least sadness chocolate will be readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBG Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I am still expecting the vast majority of Michigan admits to go out early next week. The offer that's already gone out is a bit of a special case, because of the whole public policy thing. strangepeace and ajaxp91 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchlm_618 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Next week's going to be a heavy week...I can feel it...just in time for Valentine's Day. At least sadness chocolate will be readily available. I'm stocking up this weekend. Dark chocolate, red wine, bad movies, and (inevitably) either a few rejections or (maybe worse) no word from any other schools. lonestarflag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I should get a bottle of champagne and a bottle of bourbon, to be prepared in any scenario. I'm like a Boy Scout. rchlm_618 and strangepeace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeless90 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Congrats UCSD people!!! Is the school sending out the letters in waves do you think??? (every hour, half an hour, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaxp91 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Congrats UCSD people!!! Is the school sending out the letters in waves do you think??? (every hour, half an hour, etc) Perhaps, I got mine approximately thirty minutes ago. Unfortunately, I am working late (coordinating an academic conference) and am not accessing my e-mail or TGC as frequently as I'd like. Maybe someone else can chime in on the time stamp of their e-mails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWBG Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I agree with RWBG. I did receive an official notice of acceptance, but I'm a weird hybrid case. The admissions offer is joint. Don't be concerned. It's even more particular than the other joint public policy offers, given that you hadn't initially applied to public policy. So, to others: even if you're a joint applicant, I wouldn't expect anything until next week. Edited February 8, 2014 by RWBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What are the chances that there are more UCSD acceptances to come? Trying to hold out hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGMJ Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What are the chances that there are more UCSD acceptances to come? Trying to hold out hope. Sadly I have no inside info on this one. If they're doing them individually there may be more to come today, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzrap Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How could you get into either of these programs and not know the answer for yourself? Well it is very common for these sorts of questions. Say if someone is accepted at a highly ranked program with decent fit and a slightly lower ranked program with superb fit.

IRToni Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Claiming a UCSD acceptance as well. However, I'll have to talk to them about finances, since the letter I got states that I am expected to establish California residence in my second year. Any internatials having the same problem? I am hoping (hopeful) that I will be able to talk to them about having my external fellowship pay for years 1-2 of my stay, and them then using part of the savings for fees and tuition (in years 3-5). Otherwise, I don't think I'll be able to enroll. My funding package is lower than the numbers floating around here, though, and includes 5 years of TA-ing (1st: 25%, 2-5:50%). I'm assuming I can get out of year 1 and 2, because of my fellowship, otherwise it looks intense! TheGnome, AHL and jeudepaume 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlien Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How could you get into either of these programs and not know the answer for yourself? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this question. It's a balance of fit and ranking. And even when you go by the USNWR American rankings, the ranking doesn't give you the rank for American behavior, it gives you the rank for American in general. AHL, I suggest asking some political behavior professors at your school (perhaps one of your letter writers). It's likely that they can give you a better answer than this thread, and they can probably help you navigate questions of fit. AHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
