resDQ Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 3 minutes ago, Monody said: Ay. I may also write a short email to Gelman and ask whether Columbia can offer comparable training to NYU's. It doesn't have to be awkward. It's a great way to get some books across the Atlantic without paying for shipping. This is a good idea, but I think Columbia is a good substantive fit for you anyways. And waiting around for a waitlist when you have a comparable or better option may not be worth it. 1 minute ago, polisci13542 said: Do you guys think its over for yale? Give it an hour, IMO.

I've 4-5 persons in my area at Columbia and only 1-2 at NYU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibica Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 @Comparativist the email I got was very informal, and I was told that I'd hear from the DGS later (today?). guest56436 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here.... sigh. Claiming the rejection boldly, Ithaca would have been fun, but my wife will not be upset about avoiding the snow. 1 hour ago, VMcJ said: An acceptance by Notre Dame just appeared on the results page. Of course that would happen. I said yesterday that I expected results this week from everybody, EXCEPT Notre Dame. LOL, sounds like it was real, but still, that's my theory on how trolling determines what it does. They are a crafty bunch. Mike_Novick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest56436 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 So I had mostly calmed down this cycle. But I haven't been this anxious since Berkeley/Princeton day. Desperation is probably setting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cydxb Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 @RevTheory1126 I really hope the email from ND wasn't a figment of my imagination! The PoI told me last week on my Skype call that decisions should be out this week, at the very latest next. But the email does say the official letter from the Graduate School should follow soon so no idea if some offers just come directly from the Graduate school.
