wpg205 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I think thats a troll, notice the lack of other acceptances.
TheHopefulGrad Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Out at Stanford but congrats to all those accepted!

I don't begrudge anyone their success and I hope they do well, but damn, what am I missing? This process is beginning to look a little bit like a lottery to me. Expand I would not say lottery, but "betting on horses" seems to fit better. You can make educated guesses, you can even know a lot about horses and win most of the time, and you can have bad luck with your picks even if they were carefully researched. But I think that was a troll. Too strange.
gradphil Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I am wondering if Stanford (political Science Dept.) refers rejected applicants to its Master's programs as Chicago does since there was an option, I guess, in the application for such a consideration? If that's case, would it not be offensive to ask DGA to refer the file to a Master's program of one's liking if (s)he has not already done so or confirming for one if referred? Any thoughts!

More policy-oriented but seems like some faculty might overlap. Edited February 11, 2016 by flatwhite
finalsenator Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 So I am curious if it is reasonable to reach out to the department for an update or does that just look bad?
dinhmoun Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Someone get in Stanford with so low gpa and grew, but I still congrats for his/her success. But showing off with such low stats on the page with saying my third choice is really disgusting. Eobard Thawne and lovelycat 1 1

I mean I know gre/gpa play a portion of the decision, but something just seems off with two acceptances and low stats.
wpg205 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 yeah its the same troll I think. It's just not plausible. That person has some problems. finalsenator and HardPromises 2

Seems like that's how the rejections came out, but the acceptances are over the phone. finalsenator 1

gradphil Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 On 2/11/2016 at 6:24 PM, ultraultra said: there is no terminal MA at Stanford Expand My reference is to terminal masters at other departments such as International policy studies. Following is the text from the online application that indicates such a possibility. But I don't know if the department refers it on it's own or will honor a request to this effect.

Excited about that, but eager to hear back from the PhD programs. They say "by late March," but I'm hoping it'll be sooner...! Expand Congratulations and good luck with your remaining schools.

s1994 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 If Stanford is sending out rejections by alphabets -- then I would say all rejections are out since my last name starts with X. Congrats to those who got accepted and waitlisted!

HardPromises Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 @s1994 Did you receive an official notice of rejection from Duke, or are you just assuming? I noticed your signature...
