Oneil Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Dr. MacDonald is AMAZING - not just a great academic, but just a truly genuinely nice and caring person. Great choice! Moore is away at Oxford for 6 months so most likely why she didn't respond. Haven't had Lister but I've heard great things about him. All solid choices! I'm not entirely sure how many PhDs they will take this year - they had about 120 applicants for all the streams (PhD & MA). All depends on funding and whatnot. Sigh - fingers crossed, eh?! Oh, and Dr. Rita Dhamoon at UVIC is a phenomenal prof if you were looking for second supervision at UVIC! Yes, yes, yes! Rita Dhamoon is a huge consideration for a second supervision. I didn't know about her until I submitted my app, or I would have included her in my SOP as a potential supervisor as well. Hopefully, I get both her and Eisenberg. That'd be great. Oh, also, Prof. MacDonald told me she's taking about 2 students this year. You + Me = 2, right? Ps. I could tell prof. MacDonald is amazing. Whoever gets her hits the jackpot. All the best to you, marlise! Plz keep me updated!
ImmCrit Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I applied to York's Poli Sci and Social and Political Thought PhD programs, political theory major (Hegel/Marx/Frankfurt School). Received MA results from them first week of march last year, so I'm hoping to hear back in the next few weeks (but of course am irrationally checking myfile several times daily)!
breaks0 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I am American and applied to York in polisci, I believe my primary focus was comparative political econ and secondary, marxist theory, I think. To confirm what others of you said, I applied to 7 other schools, all in sociology in the states. So far, I'm 0 out of 3 on decisions. York would be a dream program, but the odds for foreigners are so slim, I'm not holding my breath. Good luck everyone!
nirvie Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Not all pure political science.. but I applied to Waterloo for an MA in Political Science, Wilfrid Laurier for the Masters of International Public Policy and Waterloo for MA of Global Governance. Got unofficial offers from the latter 2 yesterday!
icedtea Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I applied to 1) Intelligence and National Security 2) Conflict Analysis and Conflict Resolution and 3) International Organizations and Global Public Policy Well, we don't seem to have much in common. Good luck!
echo9193 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I'm guessing everyone will start to hear back early March - last year for MA programs I heard back early February from SFU (Feb 6, accepted), and then from UBC, UVIC, and Queen's (all acceptances) within the first two weeks of March. Just a question (in case anyone knows) - is it typical to hear back later for PhD programs? Thank you so much... I will then stop checking my email for 5 times a day. Very helpful info!!
Montreal123 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 McGill appears to be dishing out the results for Phd in political science. Anyone getting news?
poliscilady Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) When do we expect UBC? For MA last year they sent out rejections around Feb. 26th (had a friend who didn't get in), I had my acceptance from them around March 1-7th if I remember correctly. PhD acceptance/rejections are supposed to be the third week of February if they follow the pattern of other years. Edited February 20, 2014 by marlise_b
Montreal123 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 When do we expect UBC? No idea. I haven't really applied for that university. I am not sure how the selection criteria is made though. Do they start with rejections first and through elimination, end up accepting the ones that are supposed to be admitted? The results I have seen for McGill are all rejections so far...
cosmokramer Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 UBC could be today, or early next week.
ImmCrit Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Accepted into York's Social and Political Thought PhD! York's Poli Sci should be next couple weeks if they are on par with last years schedule.. AuldReekie and PoliPixie 2
IRToni Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Accepted into York's Social and Political Thought PhD! York's Poli Sci should be next couple weeks if they are on par with last years schedule.. Congrats!
Montreal123 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Accepted into York's Social and Political Thought PhD! York's Poli Sci should be next couple weeks if they are on par with last years schedule.. Congratulations. York is a great place for Political Thought.
IRToni Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Accepted to UBC's PoliSci program (full funding for 5 years!) AuldReekie and ImmCrit 2
Montreal123 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Any McGill Phd political science applicants waiting?
cosmokramer Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Same as IRToni. Full funding for five years, UBC PhD. AuldReekie and ImmCrit 2
actuallyatree Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I imagine if they've sent out PhD acceptances, they'll be notifying MA applicants soon?
srsmg Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I applied to UBC and didn't hear anything yesterday. Does that mean I've been rejected? Do they usually send out all their acceptances in one day?
srsmg Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Also - seriously well done to IRToni and fais202 - you must be thrilled!
cosmokramer Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 I imagine if they've sent out PhD acceptances, they'll be notifying MA applicants soon? MA acceptances usually follow a week or two later. That is what the trend has been for UBC over the past few years. I applied to UBC and didn't hear anything yesterday. Does that mean I've been rejected? Do they usually send out all their acceptances in one day? Your best bet would be to email them and find out.
ImmCrit Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone have an idea of when admissions decisions for U of T come out? Last year I was notified of acceptance into the MA program by email on March 1st, and the PhDs got notified the week earlier I believe.
Katerina Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Last year I was notified of acceptance into the MA program by email on March 1st, and the PhDs got notified the week earlier I believe. I'm waiting for the PhD admissions decisions. Thanks for the info! p.s Are you applying as well?
ImmCrit Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I'm waiting for the PhD admissions decisions. Thanks for the info! p.s Are you applying as well? Doing my MA at U of T currently, but going to York for PhD in the fall (accepted into SPT, waiting still on Poli Sci)! York, and those departments in particular, are much more appropriate for my research interests (Critical theory/German Idealism/Historical Materialism), but its been great to spend some time at U of T! Good luck! Who are you hoping to work with/study in particular?
gokpinar Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Any ideas on when U of T will release results?
