Welcome to the 2015-2016 Cycle!

[Jak220]

American University SIS (Phd International Relations) has their decisions on the website. 

[elw]

I currently have four visits planned over two weeks (scheduling worked well) and one I had to decline. Wouldn't be opposed to one more, but I'm likely set.

Anyone claiming Cornell or Harvard admits?

[CarefreeWritingsontheWall]

Does anyone find it weird that the Harvard admit is only listed as from the political science department, when technically you're accepted to either the department of Government or HKS?

One Cornell was me. Was/is legit. I think.

[Erpeno]

Harvard may be announcing. Everybody - don't panic!

Congrats! Was it though POI or an automated system?

Thanks! It was automatic with funding info + a promise of POI contact in the next few days.

[Determinedandnervous]

Didn't get one :/ Doesn't look too good for me, but I can't complain since I have other offers I'm happy with.

Didn't hear from Cornell either. It was one of my best fits -- honestly really surprised. 

[kafcat]

Waitlisted from Cornell. Gives off the impression that the list is very short. Slightly disappointed but already have admission to a top school so I am not too sad about it. 

 

 

[s1994]

Update: I got waitlisted by Cornell. So offers are all sent out. And if you do not receive anything from them in the next few hours re: WL -- then that probably means that you are rejected.

 Hey what field are you? I am comparative  Congrats on being on the wait list!! But looks like you already have amazing admissions from great schools! Do you have a preference over any of the programs you have heard from? I got my eyes set on UCLA but still considering Cornell if taken off the wait list.

I am comparative/methods. I am emailing the DGS at Cornell to remove me from the waitlist so that other people on the list can be considered first if there is extra space in the cohort. Good luck to everyone who is on the WL!

Thanks, hopefully that can bump me up the list !!!

American University (SIS) is available online.

I didn't get in. Got to try and get from the office to home without bursting into tears on the bus.

[s1994]

Hopefully we can hear from Harvard soon  ;(

Getting nervous 

[cgfren08]

I bet a lot of decisions get released tomorrow. 

[fghhhhh]

Have any Columbia admits heard back with an official letter and details on funding? I received the unofficial acceptance email last week but haven't heard from them since.

No, I haven't heard anything since the initial email either.

Woah you've had quite a successful cycle (based on your signature). Congrats!! What are your research interests?

Thank you. Not sure I'll do another cycle. I'm a good bit older than most applicants, have been at this since Nov. 2014 (feels so long ago). There are things in life I've been putting off to chase this dream. Really need to think about it, do a hard and honest evaluation of me as a candidate. Having "only" an MA from a top ten program isn't the worst thing in the world, right?

RIGHT?

In the meantime, keeping my fingers crossed for the two I haven't heard from, but mentally preparing to hit the job market yet again.

Thanks!!!– I've been incredibly fortunate. I'm a theorist with interests that bridge together HPT and critical theory. Feel free to PM me if you want a more specific answer than that.

Anyone have any insight into when Hopkins might release their decisions?
