simonluo Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 And there comes a Brown acceptance... The mind settled by IU starts to tremble again
phdpolisci_90 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I've just found out I've been placed on the wait list at Harvard, do you know if anybody ever rejects their offers at Harvard? Is there any chance? I'm afraid no one does.

SwitchInTime Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I got an email from Nicole Tateosian 15 minutes ago! So, just to be clear - you've applied to the Kennedy School doctoral program in Political Economy, Social Policy, Health Policy, and/or Social Policy and not the doctoral program in Government from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Correct?

Correct? I've applied to the PhD program in Political Economy and Government! The application process is managed by the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences though.

Evgeny55 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Folks, just to clarify for those who are nervous: Political Economy and Government and Government are two different beasts. In the PEG PhD program you should write a dissertation in political economy and have persons from both Econ and Government department on your committee. For Government PhD you will be Department of Government graduate student, and while you still can write dissertation in political economy, typically you won't have Econ professors on your guidance committee and will work with professors at Government department. Competition for admission to each program is separate competition. ani11, wcsy and SwitchInTime 3
tell me already Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I got an email from Nicole Tateosian 15 minutes ago! Personalized email, or generic? (Yes I know this refers to Political Economy and Government)
phdpolisci_90 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Personalized email, or generic? (Yes I know this refers to Political Economy and Government) Personalized! Although I'm not sure anybody will reject their offers from Harvard.
testingtesting Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Convinced that polisci job rumors losers are posting yale notices just to toy with us. Mission accomplished, mission accomplished.
Darth Game Theory Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Convinced that polisci job rumors losers are posting yale notices just to toy with us. Mission accomplished, mission accomplished. Maybe if they spent less time on forums, and more time studying statistics, they could get published. Fucking twats. ARealDowner and ani11 2

mattecon Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Who wants to claim that lone Brown acceptance -- any details? Was not expecting Brown this early
cooperstreet Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Maybe if they spent less time on forums, and more time studying statistics, they could get published. Fucking twats. probably shouldn't use gendered insults here or in academia. ajayghale, SwitchInTime, smallworld and 2 others 5

IAmTheEggMan Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Anyone else visiting UT Austin next week? Yep, I'll be visiting UT-Austin next week. I'll be visiting UT-Austin as well. I'll be sure to maintain my anonymity and wear a name tag with my actual name on it...
Hopeful21 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I consider myself really lucky, this was my first cycle, applied as an international student with an awful quant GRE score and poor undergrad GPA. However, using the forums and constructing my applications whilst taking into account everyone's tips and advice has resulted in me receiving 3 offers out of 8 so far! One being my 2nd choice with funding for 5 years! Just awaiting an admission decision from my top choice, where two POIs invited me to the campus yesterday and advised me that I'm very likely to get admission! Irrespective of that outcome, with at least one good offer, I'm confident that I've survived this cycle! Everyone who is still waiting, don't give up hope! My file wasn't the strongest overall but I've been able to overcome it in other areas. I don't think I would have been able to achieve this without everyone's advice and support on here! Thanks so much! I am so grateful for this thread and all of you on here! NYCBluenose, Duvergerian and Gusvalo 3
