Shirtless Putin's Horse Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Nothing from Princeton on my end, so probably rejection. But everyone else who didn't get accepted, no worries! I hear if you get rejected from Princeton on three different occasions, you get a free ice cream cone at Queen of Dairy! Just waiting for official letter to collect my frozen bingo treat.

Has anyone gone through the "application discussion" experience before? If so, thoughts on what to expect?

The OSU discussion was pleasant; he asked specific questions about my writing sample and why I wanted to go into academia. I'm sure these discussions vary from program to program.Â

Understand it will vary, just curious how deep they like to go. I figure at that point you have made it to the "maybe" pile and they are trying to whittle it down to the lucky few. Good luck with your discussion tonight!

Congrats to both of us!  25 minutes ago, oakeshott said: @zapatos was your e-mail from POI? DGS? E-mail was phrased "chair of the admissions committee" [emphasis mine], looked at his faculty page and he isn't the DGS. In my case he is a POI but I get the impression from the wording that he chairs the committee that reviewed all applications. 1/8. 1/8. 0/8. so far!

sharklotte Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I got my Berkeley admittance email 40 minutes ago but just saw it now! Sat down to practice piano, and it finally came in. A watched pot never boils, right? The email came from the admissions committee chair. I only applied to Cal and Stanford (committed to staying the Bay area for now), so this is especially exciting news. Good luck to those of you still waiting for word! Some stats, in case they're useful: I had a 3.96 undergrad GPA, a similar master's GPA (can't remember off the top of my head), and the following GRE scores: 162 Q, 170 V, 5.5 AW.
polisci13542 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 those who didn't get an email... do you think it's over?
jge Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Just got an e-mail of acceptance to UCSD, along with funding offer. UCLA acceptance this morning, no funding offer yet!
correlatesoftheory Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Claiming a UCSD admit, funding included. No email from Berkeley. Should I assume this is a rejection? VMcJ 1
Judy Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Does anyone also have a problem accessing the Duke decision letter link after logging into their unlink account? I literally could see nearly nothing on my welcome page.
Mike_Novick Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah, I never thought this was going to be easy, but receiving three rejections in the same day was particularly harsh. ugurcanevci 1
