It's going to be a really really tough decision and I'm going to try to focus on faculty fit, the grad student culture, and quality of life/location. It's the next 5-7(+) years of our lives! I've RSVP'd for Berkeley, Princeton, and Columbia. Princeton and Columbia are on the same week luckily so I'll just stay an extra day in NYC, and then my super late Spring Break will start. Those are the only ones unless I miraculously get into Yale or Harvard. Luckily I'm only in two real classes this semester so I won't miss too much. zapatos 1
sharklotte Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Congratulations to everyone who got good news this week! Are any of the Stanford admits in the American subfield? Trying to figure out whether there's any hope for additional admissions. Guessing it's very unlikely at this point.
concrema Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Just out of curiosity, is there anyone interested in genopolitics?
Mnemonist Kenny Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 - it's so strange that I still did not receive any news from NYU. My online application is still shown under departmental review
Eurocrat Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Received an invitation to an interview at LSE (for the M.Res/Ph.D. in Government), scheduled for next Tuesday. That's the first semi-positive response I got this cycle, with all other apps bar Princeton still pending! oakeshott 1
HopeNeverDies Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hey guys, I recently discovered this forum so if my questions were already answered in the past, I am sorry. I was wandering what are the chances for those in the wait list? People are really accepted after suffering in this list or it's a long shot? I am in the wait list of Duke, my dream department, and I don't know if I should keep my hopes up. Related to that question, what do you guys think about trying again next year? I was approved by two programs that are ok, but for some reason I am not very excited about them. I was thinking in sending pretty much the same material but really increase my GRE scores (currently 158V and 159Q). I guess the GRE is the main reason why I wasn't accepted by Duke, and probably the reason why I will not be accepted by Yale, MIT and Northwestern (about those three I haven't received any notice yet). Thanks and sorry for the long text, I am desperate by now.
oakeshott Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Morning GC! A few updates / thoughts that might be helpful: 1. Harvard: My sources () tell me that we can expect to hear back during the last two days of February. Anything before then is likely trolls / not the Gov Dept. 2. Stanford: A department administrator has now been in touch regarding $$ and visiting days, so I think that it's safe to say now that all the offers are out. 3. MIT: Congrats @zapatos! I hope some offers will continue to trickle out today... And while I'm taking up space: any intel on Yale would be much appreciated!

WorldPeaceMaker2010 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Is anyoen else going to the Northeastern top applicant welcome day?

You think that post on the results page is a troll?
dih2 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Did any theory people here apply to the Cambridge MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History?
southside Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Anybody have a sense / experience of the UNC waitlist? Does it seem realistic that at least a few admits would get better offers? Or even better, anyone here planning on turning down UNC? I'm obsessing over these things largely by myself since I'm international, so any info would be much appreciated.
territhemayor Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 anyone claiming the u Chicago social thought admit?

You think that post on the results page is a troll? It's impossible to be certain about this stuff, but I would say it's pretty solid intel. As far as I can tell, every legit-looking post on the results page so far is for the HKS program (even the one mistakenly labeled as GSAS). I'd say the two "political science" rejections are trolls.
oakeshott Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Ummm...anyone claiming the Yale entries? Edited February 17, 2017 by oakeshott Sorry for the double post!
Bibica Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 @oakeshott End of February? I don't know if I can wait that long, although I guess I don't have a choice. Hoping your source is mistaken, but at least I know what to expect now.
oakeshott Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Yeah, @Bibica, it's going to be a long wait. But sadly not inconsistent with Harvard's MO in previous cycles... Anyone claiming Yale? Hoping it's trollwork.
Bibica Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 @oakeshott, I'm guessing that the Yale posts were trolls (guessing? or maybe hoping?) And you're right, of course, but last year they came out on the 24th-26th (with a few people being notified on the 18th!!!) and I was hoping that downward trend would continue But hey, they're Harvard, they could notify us on April 14th and still compete for our affections.

I think the year before last they actually came out on the 16th! Really gave me heartburn last night lol. oakeshott 1
dih2 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Wait all these new Yale results have been posted. Uh oh, I guess it wasn't a troll...
oakeshott Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Yup, there's a bunch of them now But still no claims...
VMcJ Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 And there is a new entry for Rochester claiming that all admission offers were sent. No hope on that end, but I'll keep waiting for the rejection email.

Is there any etiquette for meeting other Grad Cafers? Would love to meet some of you all but not sure if people tend to prefer anonymity re: their account name.
Bibica Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 @AsymptoticallyUnbiased Yay! I don't have those concerns, my account name is a childhood nickname haha. You can PM me for my boring adult name any time
