international_IR Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Claiming a Georgetown admission! kwaddy, tkid86 and KittenMittens 3
cydxb Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Congrats @international_IR! Still nothing from Northwestern, portal hasn't updated (although I fully expect it to be a rejection!)
krapp Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Georgetown is sending decisions today too? There goes my heart rate... Congrats @international_IR

One of the best programs in IR  a lot of programs/faculty like to talk about how underranked they are on USNews. Georgetown IR is the only one that truly is.

Georgetown IR is the only one that truly is. IMHO. Frankly, I don't know what metrics are behind programs' ranking, but their faculty is quite reputable in almost all streams of IR say in security and political economy. I admit I may be biased toward security stream scholarship but I find Kroenig and Lieber truly influential.

tkid86 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I've heard one Syracuse and one Georgetown this week... I hope they don't just trickle out slowly. To be honest, I'm expecting a rejection from GU, though.Â

I am on the waitlist (w/o an invitation to visit), but I am curious about how big that waitlist is and whether I should hold out hope for an acceptance late in the cycle.Â
international_IR Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Just received an email from POI in UPenn wanting to talk with me if I have any questions and still considering UPenn. She said their admission process is still ongoing.

They invited 40 of us and were planning on giving offers to about 30 and waitilisting the rest. There were also some people who were waitlisted outright, so I'm not sure how big the waitlist is, but I don't think there is going to be another open house.Â

WorldPeaceMaker2010 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Any word on Northeastern anyone?
