TheGnome Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Alright folks, new week. Ready for some more great news and heartbreaks? Congrats to the UMass people by the way. Now, if only there were a karmic way to allocate the buttercreams to people (like you) who love them, and the nut-chocolates to people (like me) who are devoted to them. I expect I'd like buttercreams more if there hadn't been that traumatizing disappointment where I ate one expecting something radically different. No, friend, this is wrong. You DON'T discriminate chocolates. This is RACIST! Shame on you! (except the ones that look like chocolates and being advertised as such, but are actually not chocolates - I am looking at you white chocolates) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGnome Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Chococommunism?! No ma'am/sir, if you deliberately construe a cry for choquality and justice as chocommunism, what does that make you?

Merely an advocate for the utilitarian distribution of chocolate and the champion of chocovidualism! Call it ChoCarthyism! Call it whatever you like, but give me (my very specific preferred) chocolate or give me death! TheGnome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingLux Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Someone posted on the results page that Duke sent out a rejection letter saying "We received over 300 applications this year. Our admissions committee met several times to review and select the candidates to whom they wanted to offer admission and those candidates have been notified" Can anyone confirm this?

No, though I believe someone said they got a similarly phrased bounce-back email from the Duke DGS on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL Slam Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just got the Cornell rejection. They had 344 applicants and an average incoming class size of 12. Disappointing, but admittedly it wasn't the greatest fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR IR IR PhD Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Also just got the Cornell rejection. Oh well. It is cold as hell in Ithaca. Can the people posting the UMass admits PLEASE say whether this was a mass email or from a POI? This is a team effort for all of our anxiety gradcafe cohort!

IRTheoryNerd Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I claim a Cornell rejection too. I'm not sure how long Peter Katzenstein would have stuck around and since the department has otherwise been moving rapidly in the direction of mainstream US IR I guess I shouldn't be devastated. Still, an acceptance would be nice right about now... I re-congratulate all those who were accepted and envy the peace of mind that a single acceptance must bring.

AHL Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Prompted by the Georgetown result: For programs like Georgetown and UT-Austin that use a different name than "Political Science" ("Government" in both cases), could applicants please include the phrase "Political Science" in their result entries? That would make searching and viewing easier. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
