The rejection from Northwestern really made me feel like I'm on a thin ice. Good luck to everyone waiting here I feel you. I felt that Northwestern was my "best shot" of all schools to get into (that's just my perception) and now I am expecting only more rejections ... :/  @RevTheory1126: Sleep is for the weak, right?  Good luck everybody!Â

In a phone call before submitting my application they said the results are usually released in the first week of February. I marked 6 Feb 2017 on my agenda as the day to start freaking out. Â Is it your first option?

I'm also waiting on Syracuse, though I'm expecting most of the rest of my results to roll in while I'm at ISA. The panels will keep me distracted enough from checking my e-mail and the application portals every hour.

I'm expecting to hear from Syracuse only after 20 Feb... It will still take some time, I guess.Â

I'm the only one of my friends applying to graduate school this cycle (they're all waiting a year or two for a myriad of reasons), so nobody besides me staring sadly at my mobile.

Almost the same here. I'm the only one among my friends applying to the US. Another one is trying Canada and Australia but the processes are a bit different, I guess. Is Syracuse your first option?

Is it your top choice? Although I'd really like to live somewhere warmer than Germany, it is among the top, yes. I'm just applying to 4 schools in the US, so it ends up being in the top anyway. We are in different fields, though. I'm somewhere between comparative politics and political theory.

I tried to cite tkid86's name above, but I think it did not work. How do you do that? Edited January 29, 2017 by VMcJ Add a question tkid86 1

Congrats! To cite someone, you should just write @ + name (together).Â

They still did not send more details about their offer, and of course I want to know what will come out of all other programs I applied; but if somebody from the future said to me at the beginning of the cycle I would get accepted by UT-Austin, I would be enormously satisfied right then.

Gik Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 hm, I'm worried now. I thought I was supposed to send official undergrad transcripts just if I were accepted. Did I get that wrong?

Did I get that wrong? Yes apparently Stanford is one of the only schools that require you to mail in official transcripts (and even 2 copies for some reason)

Did I get that wrong? Â Stanford said official. However, they would accept unofficial transcripts for review purposes. If you are accepted, then you really must send in official ones. If you did not get an email from the grad secretary, do not worry about it. Gik 1
