curufinwe Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Seems like a lot of Theory folks accepted at Northwestern, maybe the Americanists are tomorrow ...C'mon Ben Page! I got a friend that applied to Northwestern for comparative, and when he did not get an acceptance e-mail, he called and learned he is rejected. So I'm guessing its not field by field, all that did not get an e-mail is most probably rejected.
nervouscomparativist Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Admitted to UNC...it´s going to be a fun weekend!
PeaceDoc Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 To an extent, yes. But I was hoping to end up somewhere on the East coast (for personal reasons). So while I am thrilled about Stanford, I am secretly hoping for another offer from Yale, Princeton, Columbia or Harvard. I absolutely don't want to sound like I'm preaching (I wanted East Coast when I applied as well -- didn't get it), but there is a rampant saying where I grew up (South West) that may help rest your soul: "If you're smart enough to get into Stanford you're not dumb enough to turn them down." While this doesn't mean you would be dumb for turning them down if you get into H/Y/P/C, take solace. If Stanford is your only choice, you'll be fine.

Well I am certainly not complaining about my offer from Stanford; I am actually really excited about it. It's just one of those places where I find it hard to imagine myself, and since I have never been (I am European) it feels much more distant than some of the other places I applied to, which I have visited before. But I am definitely going to their Admit Weekend... and who knows, maybe I will fall in love with it!
Cicero Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 There is a post on the main results page saying that Duke will be sending out more acceptances next week. Does anyone have anymore information about this? (This posting won't appear if you are just looking under political science on the results because political science is misspelled).

Ziz Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Aaaaaaaahh when are my schools going to start notifying? I've checked the results page. I know it won't be for a while, just ranting.
SuddenlyParanoid Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 In at Rochester! Pretty excited, wasn't sure if I had enough math background for them. Congrats to all the UNC people. Here's hoping Yale ends the week with a bunch of acceptances.

Yes Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 nothing on my end... The thing I find most frustrating is that the decisions are probably made, they just haven't been communicated yet...they are just sitting on some office desk right now!
slider5 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I received an email from Harvard asking me to fill out the financial aid form (for the Political Economy program). Has anyone filled this out or been requested to? I didn't think schools made you do this if you were applying as a doctoral candidate...
kmp34 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 nothing on my end... Hey Rory - looks like we have almost the exact same list of schools (except Toronto and Georgetown,, was going to apply to Gtown but changed my mind last minute) What's your subfield?
simplelittlebookworm Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 For some reason Harvard makes you do it. It's the only school of those that I applied to that requires it. Filling it out was pretty quick for me - all zeros!
simplelittlebookworm Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 That's odd that they sent you the email now. I was directed straight to the aid form after I submitted the actual application. maybe it's an automatically generated email if you hadn't filled it out yet?
Rory Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Hey Rory - looks like we have almost the exact same list of schools (except Toronto and Georgetown,, was going to apply to Gtown but changed my mind last minute) What's your subfield? IR - you?
kmp34 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 IR - you? IR/Comp (area studies/foreign policy) GL to you, hopefully we both get good news
CrimsonBlue Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) In at Rochester as well with a departmental fellowship (SO GENEROUS) Edited February 5, 2010 by CrimsonBlue
Yes Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 In at Rochester as well with a departmental fellowship (SO GENEROUS) Congratulations! Very well done! Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing what kind of funding you got? ie what is a very generous offer? I am just asking this because I am an international student and not that familiar with the financial aspects of the American system.I got a 5 year fellowship offered by stanford, but I don't really know if their offer is 'generous' for American standards.

NEPA Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Yale folks - I've been trying to get them about when notifications go out, but I've gotten voicemail every time I call. I've been pretty swamped so I haven't had too many opportunities. Sorry not to have more news! interista, Cicero, tskinner and 1 other 4
PeaceDoc Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Not to bust a bubble, I know letters and notifications can historically go out sooner rather than later... but for real: http://www.yale.edu/polisci/resources/docs/AdmissionsFAQ.pdf ...says March. Relax. Go have some ice cream. PeaceDoc and Keller65 1 1
