simonluo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So it seems that BC's acceptances and rejections go through postal service, but I still got nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacktivist Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So is Harvard the last hold out here? Seems like everything else is silent... Still waiting on Northwestern (informal waitlist?) and Penn (waitlist/rejection). Penn grad coordinator said that decisions would be out by Friday. Georgetown might not have even looked at my application because I missed one semester of my transcripts, and it turns out my main professor of interest is moving next year.

How did you find out that you are waitlisted at Pitt? I haven't heard anything from them, and there is no indication of any decision on the application portal. Hope you hear something positive from Northwestern and/or Penn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you hear something positive from Northwestern and/or Penn There is a waitlist posted on the results page from Feb. 10. Looking at previous years, I'd say at this point no notification may mean implicit rejection (same with UIUC). I'm still going with no news is good news, though.

slacktivist Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pitt emailed me about two weeks ago. I'll be withdrawing from the waitlist, though. Are you visiting Texas or Merced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mseph Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pittsburgh did not e-mail me.. Does that mean a silent rejection? I received an admission email from Pitt on Feb. 9th (with letter attached). According to the Results Search, it seems Pitt officially notifies their waitlisters rather than silently waitlisting applicants. So I am not sure what they'll do with those who haven't heard yet. But it's a bit odd for Pitt this year though, because it seems they notified rejections pretty soon after notifying acceptances and waitlists in recent years. Maybe they are still deciding? Not sure, and who knows... glad10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academia.edu is great/annoying. Someone clicked through from my CV at the start of the month via the applyweb/Penn system which has the URL admit.applyweb.com.. luckily I didn't see it at the time! I'm pessimistic by nature, but it would seem like our heads our on the chopping block.. from a look at the results page they don't seem to really do wait-lists.

souwant2bcliche Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pittsburgh did not e-mail me.. Does that mean a silent rejection? I have a friend in the program who told me that all remaining decisions would go out mid-March (he went to the office and asked today). I'm IR subfield, though. So, not sure the subfields of the announcements already put up. glad10, souwant2bcliche and Gusvalo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbyTee Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I know from a friend who was interviewed by the Carl Albert Center fellowship that the Oklahoma department met yesterday. If I had to guess, decisions should be expected either this week or next. Bubandis and Username 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know of a few people outside the forum who got rejections. You are probably seeing different results because you are likely searching different things. Since UVA techinically refers to their programs as a "Politics" PhD, rather than 'Political Science', results get entered under both. But, to get in on the UVA conversation, I have not heard from them either. Hopefully I get in though....with a generous cheese burger funding package. oh, and just in case anyone wanted to know how I play hardball with ad comms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2F-XuDMpDM Edited February 26, 2015 by Bubandis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evgeny55 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Weirdly enough, I still got no response from UCLA. Previous year they sent mass rejections on 26-27 of February. I dropped them couple of messages but did not get any response. This is a little annoying actually. I got rejected from Columbia, but I really appreciated that they sent notifications fast; same was true for UM at Ann Arbor, for instance. With UCLA, I just don't know what to think since they sent bunch of rejections earlier and I did not get any updates on the application status...
