cydxb Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Congrats @international_IR! Still nothing from Northwestern, portal hasn't updated (although I fully expect it to be a rejection!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the silent treatment from both, but I've marked them as 'rejected' on my spreadsheet. I didn't get anything from Columbia yet at all. It's weird.

Similarly ranked programs get a little more than that for the entire department. international_IR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best programs in IR  a lot of programs/faculty like to talk about how underranked they are on USNews. Georgetown IR is the only one that truly is.

IMHO. Frankly, I don't know what metrics are behind programs' ranking, but their faculty is quite reputable in almost all streams of IR say in security and political economy. I admit I may be biased toward security stream scholarship but I find Kroenig and Lieber truly influential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkid86 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I've heard one Syracuse and one Georgetown this week... I hope they don't just trickle out slowly. To be honest, I'm expecting a rejection from GU, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

international_IR Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Just received an email from POI in UPenn wanting to talk with me if I have any questions and still considering UPenn. She said their admission process is still ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They invited 40 of us and were planning on giving offers to about 30 and waitilisting the rest. There were also some people who were waitlisted outright, so I'm not sure how big the waitlist is, but I don't think there is going to be another open house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
