Mike45 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 TremenI just found this and it is incredibly useful for thinking about what information you should ask and consider of programs. Note that it is for history, but applies equally well to political science: https://secure.historians.org/projects/cge/PhD/Questions.cfm Tremendously helpful! Thanks!

Mwezi Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I saw, but I still have nothing. Fearing the worst. Edit: I guess it was a delayed e-mail--I'm in! What a day. Congrats! See? Nothing wrong with long-living hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mwezi Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 No way I buy those Harvard postings. Harvard has never sent out acceptances before 2/19 going back to 2010. Plus they all say "Political Science" instead of "Government," which is a rare mistake to make according to historical postings. Those are trolls. True, I might have put Political Science, but you would think at least one of them would have put government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facade19 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just got officially rejected by Northwestern. Extrapolated that much weeks ago. Guess it will not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Did you get the rejection through e-mail? Still silent on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facade19 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Did you get the rejection through e-mail? Still silent on my end. No. I logged on to the application page. There was a link to the decision. If it is silence than that is good I presume. Maybe you are still on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mseph Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Saw USC postings on results page.. Should I presume the silence on my end a rejection? I try not to panic as many said in this forum, and many of you posted very comforting posts, which helped me tremendously through my first cycle. But still, this is difficult.. Well, I still hope to hear from some schools I applied but seem did not announce their decisions yet. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as if they accept/waitlist and then inform everybody else relatively promptly (a couple of days later.. judging by the results page). So I guess we'll find out soon enough...

Duvergerian Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 In at Rochester. That said, I think I should take a break from these forums for a while. I'm genuinely happy for all of you, but I had a bit of a mental hiccup yesterday with the combination of WashU and the (expected) low funding at Wisconsin. I wish all of you the best of luck, and I hope to have more good news whenever I return. I'm also looking forward to meeting some of you at various accepted students weekends. May the odds be ever in your favor. NYCBluenose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacktivist Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Anyone have any idea what's going on at Northwestern? I can't imagine they've admitted me, but the rejections are coming in dribs and drabs. I don't think I'll end up on their waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Harvard postings are for sure fake. If it was one or two I might buy it, but I know for a fact those decisions are coming out end of Feb/early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably all use a break, to be honest. Edited February 6, 2015 by ARealDowner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Who can claim the Boston admit? I emailed the graduate coordinator yesterday and I was told the first round decisions will be out in the next two weeks.. Considering the Harvard troll, it's likely that someone is having fun with the Boston area schools right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwitchInTime Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just got another automated notice from UCSD saying that I had been rejected . . . again. I guess they just really wanted to make it clear that, not by any stretch of the imagination, am I admitted. Thanks, UCSD. I got it the first time.

NYCBluenose Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Haha I got that too! Although I think if you look at the 'messaging' tab, its because they wanted to encourage us to apply for their (probably high-tuition) M.A program. Thanks, but having already paid through the nose for one M.A, I think I've had enough! Btw, congrats on the UCLA and Washington admits guys!

Right on, mate I will tell myself that they must have decided to notify those who received bonus fellowships first lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
