Hopeful21 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Feel ya. Didn't care about the results, or have opened gradcafe until a few days ago, when I realized that 2-3 schools I have applied to have already sent their acceptances. Oh, the pressure is real!!!!! Now the anxiety has consumed me. Who would have thought waiting around doing nothing could be so darned exhausting!? I received a letter in the mail from a school I applied to this evening when I got home from work, I thought it may have been a decision. alas, It was merely a confirmation of my application posted in November that had been delayed in transit obviously. Whomp whomp! Good luck to everyone still waiting for good news! I'm certainly feeling the anxiety now! Lapavitsovaroufakis 1

ani11 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Seems like someone contacted Georgetown, there's an update on the results page. Mid-March seems ages away right now.
AuldReekie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Seems like someone contacted Georgetown, there's an update on the results page. Mid-March seems ages away right now. 500 applications.. roughly 300 for IR (based on previous years) and ~2 scholarships...
PrincipalAgent Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Any idea when MIT, Princeton, and Columbia are supposed to release decisions?
ARealDowner Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Princeton released theirs mid-February last year, but end of February the two years before. Combine that with the fact that their website gives a stated deadline of early March, I'd say we've got a while.
Evgeny55 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Any idea when MIT, Princeton, and Columbia are supposed to release decisions? Based on previous years, no earlier than 10th of December.
Mike45 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'm just over here wondering if Stony Brook has sent out all their offers yet. I noticed a two people said they were admitted in the past few days.
delete-it Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I think, based on previous years, Columbia will release their decisions mid to late February.
pdoseven Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Question for everyone -- do you think it is distasteful to email a POI at a school which has already rejected you? I'd like to follow up, express my intention of reapplying, and perhaps in the process glean some more information about the decision.
Bubandis Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'm just over here wondering if Stony Brook has sent out all their offers yet. I noticed a two people said they were admitted in the past few days. I suspect so, but am also curious about this
AuldReekie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Question for everyone -- do you think it is distasteful to email a POI at a school which has already rejected you? I'd like to follow up, express my intention of reapplying, and perhaps in the process glean some more information about the decision. I think it's absolutely fine. They might not be able to provide you with much information (they might have sifted through hundreds of applications.. or not been on the committee), but it's worth a shot. If they happened to be annoyed by this then I'm not sure they'd make a great person to work with.. Edited February 2, 2015 by AuldReekie

I'd like to follow up, express my intention of reapplying, and perhaps in the process glean some more information about the decision. I think it should be fine as long as it's respectful. I imagine it might be difficult for the POI to give specific information about your application since they probably read hundreds of them, but I think it's worth a shot.
testingtesting Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Sorry, I meant 10th of February, of course. Feels like 10th of December, however.
AuldReekie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Eugh. That feeling when an acceptance pops up for a school you've applied to and your inbox is empty... (Penn State.) Well done to whoever it may be Edited February 2, 2015 by AuldReekie

Well done to whoever it may be Same here ;~}. Just scrambled to check the online application status, but it doesn't mention anything. Edited February 2, 2015 by fakeusername
Duvergerian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Accepted at Penn State. Congratulations to others who heard already, and those who may yet hear from them. kwaddy 1
LittleMac Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Well done to the Arizona admits... looks like they're on the up in IR. I met Thies at a conference and he's nice and very approachable.. and somehow manages to publish a ludicrous amount. Will Moore on the way there too which from my perspective makes it look like a great place . Trying to remember why I didn't apply.. Meant to ask for clarification on this -- are you referring to FSU's Will Moore?
AuldReekie Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Meant to ask for clarification on this -- are you referring to FSU's Will Moore? Yup. Widely reported to be off to ASU on the-site-that-must-not-be-named (poliscirumors).
LittleMac Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the clarification. Congrats to all the Penn State admits and other admits of the day! And to any who receive unfavorable news, food and video games always provide solace.

I'd like to follow up, express my intention of reapplying, and perhaps in the process glean some more information about the decision. I think it is ok. However, if faculty at the Department of interest is large, there is a possiiblity that your POI was not on the committee. Question for people admitted to Stanford: who was the chair of admission committee this year? Of course, if this information is not confidential...
panda b Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Welp.. another rejection - this time from Austin! Really thought I had a chance there / was a good fit. Did mark that I wouldn't accept if I didn't get a fellowship, so maybe that had something to do with it? Hoping I still have a chance at one of the other 7 schools I haven't heard back from yet ...
