dear_valentine07 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Hi all! I haven't seen much about anyone applying to the Stanford POLS program, so I thought I'd start a new thread. Please introduce yourselves!
carol64 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I applied to SHIPS... Still waiting. Trying to not stress; I don't have high hopes after one rejection and being skipped for interviews from 3 other schools.

Is that a dual degree or how does it work?
carol64 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I think it has to do with your focus under the PhD Education label

I'm in the same boat I've been skipped for interviews by at least two schools, so almost all of my hopes are on this program.

carol64 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 @morifol Didn't you have an interview at Michigan? How did that go?

dear_valentine07 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Anyone applying to POLS know if decisions are coming out today? Based on previous years (not too many data points, to be honest), it seems that it's either today, next Tuesday, or next Friday. HBDXB 1
HBDXB Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Hi...does anyone know how Stanford communicates its decisions - is it via email or phone calls?

From what's available on the results page, it looks like acceptances get calls and rejections get emails. There aren't a ton of responses, but that's what it looks like. The school's area code is 650, by the way, so you know what to look for - I'm assuming it comes through a school number. HBDXB 1

I got an email this afternoon with an acceptance. Email is not necessarily bad!!
teppeice Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I realized that I just got accepted into the ICE program! The email was in my spam folder... Luckily I checked, thanks to you guys! It was an email directly notifying me of the results, I didn't have to go to the portal and check the results myself.

Congratulations on your acceptance!

dear_valentine07 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 anyone know if they've already sent out all of the acceptances? i'm not sure i can call them...they might recognize my voice haha
shookienewman Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Has anyone heard about their financial aid package? I got an email recently saying that we should have heard back. I emailed them to let them know I had not received mine yet, but I was wondering if there were other grants available or only loans. Thanks!
