Mike_Novick Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just received the most concise rejection letter so far (JHU, via application portal): " Unfortunately your application into Ph.D. in Political Science has been denied.

I just spoke to a friend there who said that the process hasn't finished and different sub-fields are running at different speeds. (I see a new ND offer was posted on the results page, suggests there's some truth to what I was told.) Good to know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment I'm kinda anesthetized with all these rejections, so I laughted when I first read JHU's "tweet". changeisgood, magicdonhuang and RevTheory1126 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only assume a more thorough letter is on its way, I believe in years past they snail mailed an actual letter of rejection.

StrengthandHonor Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Well, another week has passed with no more verdicts from my schools. So far, 2a / 1w / 1r / 5p. Are any of the rest of you slowly going crazy? I'm just keeping myself busy with a conference paper I'm writing. I've got a couple of good options, but I'd certainly like to hear from the rest of those schools so I have some clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat with a number of schools.... plus, Northwestern is still teasing me with silence. cydxb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMcJ Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm also waiting to hear from 5 schools, but as I don't expect any acceptances anymore I don't care that much. I'd like some closure, of course, but probably won't get all my responses until mid-March... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the acceptances you get are just as nice as the rejections are nasty. Mike_Novick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changeisgood Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yesterday I pulled the trigger on UGA, so I'm officially done and dusted. Received an email from one of my POIs that was very persuasive, so that sort of kicked me off the fence. I needed to get this wrapped up anyway so I can get on with finishing my M.A. on time. I sent Indiana a note to take me off the waiting list, so hopefully someone else can have the spot if one opens up. resDQ, krapp and dagnabbit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for warning us about that, didn't get any email from them informing that decisions were issued. Nice letter of rejection. Now only four remain for me.

tkid86 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Is anybody else waiting to hear from Syracuse?

Is it weird that they didn't send out an email that these were emailed? They are using the same application system that Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, etc. are using and they all sent out emails...? Bizarre... Still can't steal my joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krapp Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Finally got the Northwestern rejection. So I'm now at 1a/1w/2r/3p. Michigan State or Georgetown may be settled for me this week, CUNY could be...whenever. At the moment it's looking like a pretty clear decision for where I'll be in the fall! cydxb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you find the rejection on Northwestern's portal? Is it just on your main profile page? I'm still seeing nothing, and just want to make sure that there isn't some alternate system like Duke's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is a link right in the middle of your application status page to view the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
