BFB said the end of February would be likely, so I'm expecting it soon. Just wasn't sure if the info came out and I wasn't yet aware.

I'm on the same boat. It probably will come this week.

Did someone here say they already accepted their Columbia offer?  I thought someone did, but I can't find it.

I did too.

Yeah, what's up with ND? I also applied to the Kroc Institute, polisci track... haven't heard anything. At this point, I'm waiting on people formalizing their rejection. Would be nice just to hear something at this point, so I could feel like this is "wrapped up" and move on.

jeez. Am I the only one visiting programs before making a decision?

Well my case was sort of different because all directions pointed to Columbia. (I'm from NY, better funding, and I visited some of my schools in the past so I met grad students and some faculty already). Visits are important! I actually was at Columbia today. Definitely dont choose the school before seeing it I feel unless there are some extenuating circumstances. 

 

TL;DR: It's all good, don't feel any rush to make a choice.

It's alright, I won't be there either. Can't make it.

Correspondence from Chicago would be nice.

[BillyJoel182]

Got an email from Chicago yesterday. Rejected from the PhD program, accepted to a 1-year MA in IR with 2/3 tuition.

[ralphwiththeconch]

I'm also still waiting for Chicago to tell me that I got rejected...(I opted not to be considered for the MA). But I am so unwilling to email and solicit that rejection directly lol

Same here.

Anyone heard from UBC?

[VMcJ]

@_Dreamer_, you should check the Canadian PhD Programs thread, there might be more information there:

@VMcJ thanks, I just thought someone here might have news as many apply to both US and CAD schools.

@_Dreamer_ Hi, I received an acceptance from UBC Monday. 

[_Dreamer_]

@ZJxk congrats! Are you going to accept? Could you share funding details and your area? Did you receive an email or checked the portal? I've been told I'm on the waitlist (Comparative/Asia) but through an informal email. Thanks!

[ZJxk]

@_Dreamer_ Thank you! At the moment I'm trying to decide between it and another program, but I'll be sure not to wait around if I decide to go elsewhere. Sure, I'm the first result on the results page http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=Political+Science+UBC The initial email I received was from the department and more formal updates followed. If it helps, I only have till mid-March to respond, so maybe there's another round? Good luck! 

[_Dreamer_]

@ZJxk Thanks a lot! Good luck to you too!

[StrengthandHonor]

All quiet on the Western Front. At least I have a conference presentation tomorrow to take my mind off of the remaining Schrödinger's Applications

Official Penn acceptance letter arrived today (in the online portal) - I know someone was asking about this on the results board.

[Stillhereism]
