dagnabbit Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Wow, there's a UGA acceptance on the results board! I think that's the first PhD admission of the cycle - anybody wanna claim it? Side note: received an interview request today! It's so nice to have a bit of validation during this process - I hope that you will all experience this feeling soon.

GradNYC Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Someone posted Princeton/Political Science.. seriously?

But yes, I'm thinking of submitting a proposal to APSA, if nothing more than to give me something to think about other than program notifications. Do you mind me asking what area of political theory you're interest in? Expand @KittenMittens yeah still a few days left, just add something else to scan your inbox for! Ha! In a nutshell, I'm interested in critical theory, affect, and questions about crisis, violence, and legitimacy. You?

Mind if I ask which school contacted you? Expand Thanks so much! I can share through DM if you're really interested, but I would rather not post the school publicly at this point. I will say that it is not a program that is known to conduct interviews, so I was pretty surprised. @changeisgood, congratulations! Even if Georgia isn't your top choice, an acceptance this early speaks volumes about your strength as an applicant. kwaddy 1
jazzmintea Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Princeton's results are coming in earlier than usual...
RevTheory1126 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 With two UNC and two Princeton, it seems less likely they are trolls...but who knows... anyone claiming these???

philpot Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 At least one UNC post isn't a troll. I spoke with him about it yesterday. Can't say about the others.

You know, it's funny, but I didn't really have a "top choice" when I went into this. Each of the programs I applied to have certain unique advantages. Once I find out how many other offers I get, I'll just have to sift through them and see what rises to the top. Besides the research and faculty strengths in my subfield, there's funding amount and type, location, finding employment for my wife, a school for my kid, etc. So lots to consider. resDQ 1

Expand Interesting you say this...we seem to be in similar situation (wife/child). In retrospect, my application list seems to have been finalized when i was at a point that I really couldn't rank them. I don't know how old your child is, but if you are stuck between choices=ceteris paribus-you might want to look at if they have a lab school. Some of the schools on my list have a school my daughter could attend at reduced tuition based on my status. Good luck!

Departmental email/letter detailing a fully funded offer (assistantship+health). Obviously not a generic offer, as they went into detail about what professors I might be interested in working with, given my sample and SOP. Said that a letter from the graduate school would shortly follow. It completely took me by surprise--I didn't expect to hear anything back for weeks. tkid86, philpot and dagnabbit 3
