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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradphil Posted February 11, 2016 Share 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!

finalsenator Posted February 11, 2016 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinhmoun Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Someone get in Stanford with so low gpa and grew, but I still congrats for his/her success.

I mean I know gre/gpa play a portion of the decision, but something just seems off with two acceptances and low stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Anyone else? Anyone heard anything? I also applied to UC Davis MS in Community Development and MSU's MS in Community Sustainability, accepted to both on Feb 5th and 6th respectively. 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...! Congratulations and good luck with your remaining schools.
