theoristo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Did your portal announcement change or was it only the email? Thanks and congrats!! Virginia extended offers to those up for a fellowship. That's only 5 or 6. That's all I can speak to w/ certainty. I'm guessing more will follow very soon??? Contact has been through DGS and theorists in the Dept. No status updates on the website though. My letter came via DGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so, the email I got back a while ago was very generic. I know they only have space for 10 students, unless something has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testingtesting Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Depends. Are you an Americanist? If not, we're probably better off taking our bargaining elsewhere. Best of luck to you! Comparative. Damnit! Best of luck. Side note: anyone in comparative accepted and Princeton and planning to take your talents elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Game Theory Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 ***we interrupt this Ivy League program to inform you that Bubandis has received an admission offer from the University of Nebraska. We now return to your scheduled Ivy League programing*** Atta kid, Bubandis! Go get yourself some cheeseburgers, as a reward! Congrats to all the admits. To those waiting to hear good news: cling to that hope, and know that academia is within reach for us. Bubandis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARealDowner Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 For anyone wondering (cough cough, Zajonc Says), I'm an Americanist and there's a quite decent chance I end up not choosing Princeton (I don't know if that makes me crazy or not). Unfortunately, I want to at least attend the official visit, so you'll have to wait at least that long for an update.

I'm under the impression Americanist at WUSTL are meh and the other 2 are great, but I can be wrong. Princeton always seems to me like an amazing place for those Americanist with heavy methods interests (e.g. Bartels) but not for those less interested in methods mooneyed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waitinandstressin Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Not sure why such a substantial proportion of my schools have given decisions to other applicants and no news for me (Duke, NYU, Notre Dame, UCLA).

It's possible that it's like the Virginia admits and ND and UCLA et al. are taking care of fellowships first, then moving onto TA and RAships.

deltaqsquared Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The UW PoliSci program was the only PoliSci program I applied to this cycle and received my rejection today. Congrats to all who got accepted this year, and I may seriously reconsider my options for the next (3rd) application cycle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacktivist Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Americanists accepted at Michigan: it is a cold and terrible place. If you believe Poli Sci Rumors, the department is run by qualitative scholars. You have better offers elsewhere! ¬_¬ NYCBluenose and Brandon263 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi, when did Virginia send out notifications? Hi, I heard in early Feb, but that may be because they were nominating me to compete for the Jefferson Fellowship, and the Selection takes place very soon (late Feb). The official letter came last week. In any case I've declined, so hopefully that means one of you will hear soon from them. Good luck!

Haha, and it might make you a little crazy...but, there 's nothing wrong with that It's a tossup between WashU, Princeton, Vanderbilt and UNC for me. Vanderbilt's probably the wild card, but as policyphdhopeful pointed out, they did manage to grab Bartels from Princeton, and also have Bruce Oppenheimer and Joshua Clinton, all fantastic legislative people which is what I want to do (and of course, Clinton and Bartels would be great for methods). They also have a recent hire, Molly Jackman, whose substantive research interests really intersect with mine. In a similar vein, lots of people at UNC who I could work with, good methods sequence too, can't beat WashU for methodology (or the funding package they offered me), and Princeton is, well, Princeton (not to mention I'd love the chance to work with McCarty). The others are all great departments, just not quite as good of a place for me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably on a wait list, I reckon. Thanks for the info. I thought the majority of the applicants did not hear from UMN, since only seven people revealed their statuses in the result page.
