Just saw an Emory reject on the survey page -- I thought they just sent out the interviews? 

Posted

An acceptance from UNC appeared on the website. Could someone confirm it?

Posted

A Northwestern acceptance was just posted as well. I'm getting very anxious because I've applied to both of these schools...checking my email constantly!!

Posted

Someone posted about an unofficial acceptance email from a POI claiming that official notifications from Northwestern will come next week.

I never realized how cruel this kind of news could be.

Note that it's not an official email from the department. The applicant got a reply because he/she emailed his/her POI for something else. Thus, it doesn't mean anything if you have not heard from Northwestern -- The department simply has not started to systematically notify the admitted students.

I know. My point was: knowing an answer on admission probably will arrive next week does not make the wait for it any easier. :D

Fair enough. Good luck!

Did anybody else apply under the American Politics subfield for Berkeley/Duke/Vanderbilt/Stanford? 

I applied to Berkeley and Stanford, though I'm in Comparative.

Berkeley, but Comparative. I did select Political Behavior as a secondary subfield though, which mostly Americanists work in.

I applied to Berkeley as well, but for Theory. Are there any other theorists on here?  Also, what do people think are the chances that Berkeley (or Chicago) notify people this week? I'm still waiting to hear from all 8 of the programs I applied to and the suspense is driving me crazy.

I'm hoping Berkeley does it this week, but it seems next week is more likely.

Did anyone else apply to Maryland, Georgetown, or UVA for IR? 

It seems like their results won't be out for a few weeks, but hoping for sooner :/

My POI (senior prof at Chicago) just told me that the chicago ad comm hasn't even met once this season yet. So hearing back from them this week or even next is really unlikely...

Yes, I have applied to TAMU, but I have not heard anything yet.

I have applied to both OSU and UIUC, and they both seem to bound for rejections. Not a great way to start the cycle, but all that matters is one acceptance at the end!

Hey! Have you heard anything yet?

That's good (in a roundabout sort of way) to know Re: Chicago since they've notified people pretty early the last few years.

Hello, all. Been lurking and wish I had found this sooner. Already got my rejection from GW, waiting to hear from Georgetown, American, and George Mason. Very stressful. Good luck to everyone also dealing with the unbridled anxiety of the waiting game.

Sorry to hear that. I guess they only interview shortlisted candidates then.

Congrats to the Northwestern and UNC-Chapel Hill admits! It also appears we have a Cambridge and a Rice acceptance this morning as well - congrats to all of you as well!

Claiming an NU admit here! I'm the one who had e-mailed their POI about something else and gotten the news. I'm not sure whether or not they would have e-mailed me anyway, or if it was just a very well-timed e-mail on my part. Pretty excited as I'd be very thrilled to work with my POI (and they've also been hiring in my subfield this year) and generally feeling pretty optimistic about my other apps based on the two enthusiastic yes decisions so far :).

Even though other admits have been popping up on the results page, they seem to all be at the initiative of peoples' POIs, so if you're waiting to hear from NU I wouldn't worry yet. They just may not be as e-mail trigger happy as mine.
