I could be wrong, I got the 26 number from PSR, hardly the most reputable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibica Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 @resDQ, same. Have to say I'm extremely disappointed, I thought it was my best fit. Now have to navigate the great options I do have, but I hope the rejection emails come soon. Having to wait so long definitely led me to idealize the school.

Having to wait so long definitely led me to idealize the school. @Bibica, if my experience should mean anything, is that after all is said and all is done, and you have options, gradually one tends to forget one's idealizations and focus in finding the best fit among those that remain. I'm afraid your decision will be much more difficult than mine, and mine is difficult enough, I think, but is getting easier and easier on a daily basis and I kind of already forgot I preferred school X or Y or Z. One can say this is like an accomodation of sorts, but I think I am far more excited about my future studies than I've ever been, now that I know where I can go if I wish so.

I totally agree with this. A few months ago, one of the schools that has since rejected me was in my personal, mental top 3. Now that just sounds ridiculous to me.

dagnabbit Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Chiming in with a brief PSA: If news/lack thereof from the big H has ended your cycle, it's time to make your way over to the results thread! It's still a bit lonely in there at the moment. Thanks, and congratulations/condolences to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krapp Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm still waiting on three results. If my predictions hold true (Rejections: MSU & Georgetown, Acceptance: CUNY) then I'll have a "simple" choice with just two options. With that said, I'm entirely ready for the waiting to end and the decision making to begin. Congrats to those who got Harvard today and condolences to those who didn't, hopefully we all have something good to look forward to in the results we do have. resDQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Penn State rejection I received today, my cycle is officially over (even though technically it was last Friday when I accepted an offer). Unfortunately I can't edit my post on the results thread, but, no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biochemir Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Has anyone applied/heard from Yale's Global affairs masters program from Jackson by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurocrat Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Still waiting for my first offer, with my U.S. apps presumably being unsuccessful. Though I can't claim the LSE offer, I can vouch for it as I know the person who got it. Both of us had interviews in London last week and currently do a Masters' course at a good UK school. oakeshott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HermioneWannabe Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Cycle is done for me too - still haven't heard from Chicago or Harvard, but I'm counting them as no's. Overall, I'm happy though! ralphwiththeconch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correlatesoftheory Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Acceptances to LSE MSc program in IR and Chicago's MA program in IR, with some funding. Probably will decline since I'm into some good PhD programs. Haven't heard from Harvard, so I'm assuming it's a rejection. billythekid72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best offer and best fit arguably, and the stipend suffices for everything I will need, so who am I to wait or to complain. Also closure.
