APGradApplicant Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 Just wanted to wish everyone who's still in my boat of waiting on a wait list and a happy weekend. FYI the latest Rochester post is just another troll...I'm still playing the waiting game!

allevolve Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Still...from what I can tell, UCSD's IR/PS Ph.D has not sent out any rejections or acceptances (only MPIA has). Does anyone know what is going on with them? Their app deadline was back in mid-December. Edited April 11, 2010 by allevolve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keller65 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 There are worse things than waiting for 4/15. You could be this guy: gravityflyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maaganmichael Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Got a funded offer from Hawaii. You guys think its a place to deserve going? Also waiting for funding from KSU of which they told me I was still in the pool. If I also get fund from KSU, which place do you guys think is better? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks. I am going to refuse offers from LSU and GSU. Hopefully it will help someone in the waitlist.Due to my low GRE in verbal. I have not applied for any high ranking programs. got 4 in 5 programs I applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to offend someone by saying this, but given rough comparability between KSU and Hawaii, I would much rather spend the better part of my twenties in Honolulu, HI, than Manhattan, KS.

There are some good people there and it certainly has done a better job at placing students in jobs than Kansas State has. Hawaii is definitely the better choice of those two...

maaganmichael Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks APgradApplicant: KSU here is Kent:)ćI am thinking of taking GRE again and reapplying next year. But I am tried of this kind of standard exam. So I probably will accept one and go to US. Anyone here will also go to Hawaii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankets Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just emailed Toronto - All MA waitlisters should hear in the next couple of days Anyone heard from Minnesota waitlist or Columbia MAO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravityflyer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just emailed Toronto - All MA waitlisters should hear in the next couple of days Anyone heard from Minnesota waitlist or Columbia MAO? I haven't received any news regarding the Minnesota waitlist. When I last spoke with Joanne, she indicated that it wouldn't be surprising if additional offers were made at the 11th hour.

I grew up about 20 minutes from Kent and until you posted it I had no idea that they had a PhD in political science. I just googled the program and it doesn't seem like they have a traditional political science PhD program with standard subfield breakdowns. Also, while Kent is actually a very nice city, Ohio has terrible weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maaganmichael Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Thanks Natofone. Kent State told me they would make funding decision next week. I cant wait until then. I think I will accept Hawaii. By the way,anyone here has been accepted by Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravityflyer Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just received a note from Minnesota. Apparently they've filled all their slots and won't be culling from the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someoneoutthere Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just received a note from Minnesota. Apparently they've filled all their slots and won't be culling from the waitlist. I'm sorry!!

blankets Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm sorry!! That sucks. You have some great options, though. I also got the Minnesota letter, no PhD for me. I did, however get into the Toronto MA about 20 min. after the Minnesota letter came through. So now the decision is New School (1/2 tuition) MA vs. McGill MA vs. Toronto MA tough, tough, tough SBL and Keller65 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keller65 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Anyone still waiting to make a decision? I gather at least two prominent members (APGradApplicant and someoneoutthere) are still deliberating/in negotiations at this late hour.

rabs52 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm still waiting to hear if i get off the Columbia waitlist. anyone planning to turn down a spot there in the next two days?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keller65 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm still waiting to hear if i get off the Columbia waitlist. anyone planning to turn down a spot there in the next two days?? Columbia had a very difficult time handling files this season. One poster's file was not even reviewed. I would phone tomorrow and ask for a direct answer -- your acceptance could be sitting there with collected dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keller65 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Everyone's files were reviewed at Columbia. I have heard dubious things, but since you are "already attending", at what I infer to be Columbia, I will take you at your word. plisar and APGradApplicant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
