mn06556 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 In previous years, NYU admitted a few people in later rounds. It might be a bit premature to give up hope on that front. It's not over 'till it's over.
Bobb Cobb Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I don't have proof, but I would think it might be the case. I spoke to professors at other schools and in different departments conversationally (business, econ, polisci) and the words "record numbers" were often used. Wow, two years in a row of that sort of talk.
amandaaimeparis Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 is it foolish/naive to hope that NYU didn't send out all their acceptances at once, since it was towards the end of the day? this seems to be the 3rd de facto rejection (Madison, Pittsburgh, and now NYU) I've gotten due to hearing about other people's acceptances and I'm starting to get discouraged... I hate that the schools don't let you know if you got rejected til later! trlux 1
DJ_CA Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Just out of curiosity, and to give the methods folks a project to keep them busy while we all wait on other schools , what do you suppose would be the probability of being accepted by every public school and rejected by every private school to which one applied? My Berkeley acceptance, what would appear to be an NYU rejection, and my previous results from Madison and Stanford have me wondering...
curufinwe Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I like to think that, once the acceptances appear on the results page, if i dont get any emails... i am rejected.So far, nothing has proven me wrong and I hate false hopes. Besides, with the competition of this year, I assume my degrees from nobody-cares-from-some-country-I-dont-know-where eliminated me already.

Would you say that everybody that was acepted have already been notified? thanks
amandaaimeparis Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 are you sure that Pittsburgh already sent out all of it admission letters? Would you say that everybody that was acepted have already been notified? thanks I don't really know, but I saw one or two on this forum somewhere. so I really couldn't say if everyone has been notified, no.
tskinner Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) I am very pleased to let you know that your application to the Ph.D. program in Political Science at UCSD was enthusiastically approved by the Admissions Committee. I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW! I DID NOT EXPECT THIS IN ANY WAY! I just found out four minutes ago in the middle of my econometrics class and the shock on my face caught my teachers attention and made me tell the whole class what was up! I can sleep again. PS "We will be in contact with you soon with more information on the open house. In addition, I will be sending you a letter with the terms of our financial offer on or before March 1. " Edited February 9, 2010 by tskinner
FrostedAmbassador Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I just got an offer from UCSD. My first. I know theory's the weakest subfield there, but I don't care. I want to cry I'm so happy.

readeatsleep Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 And I was also told... decisions could come "within the next day or so". ...I wish I hadn't read that.
anxiousmike Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) ...I wish I hadn't read that. Ha! I nearly posted those exact words when I read that. Lets see what they mean by "day or so" Edited February 9, 2010 by anxiousmike
curufinwe Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Congratz to all UCSD people. Though it is starting to get depressing, with no acceptances and 2 rejections so far, reading all these awesome people getting into awesome schools. Drinking helps

ladedodaday Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Double Post, apologies! Edited February 10, 2010 by polisciFTW
simplelittlebookworm Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Also in at UCSD. Im super stoked. Did anybody get funding details or is the "further details in a letter by March 1" standard?
mn06556 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Also in at UCSD. I'm in IPE - this is exciting! Congrats everyone!
scpol Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Btw- here is text of Emory reject Thank you for your inquiry, I apologize for the delay in replying. Decision notifications from the Graduate School will be sent via email on Friday, however I can tell you that we will not be able to offer you admission. The applicant pool this year was not only extraordinarily competitive, but also considerably larger than recent years. We received 150 applications to fill only five slots available to us. I regret that we will not be able to find a place for you in this fall’s entering class. We sincerely appreciate your interest in Emory and wish you success in your academic career. Denise Brubaker Academic Department Administrator So I guess since there are 5 spots and 3 have been claimed on this site, we can be pretty sure that's over with.
APGradApplicant Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 Rejected at UCSD, but not too much of a surprise. At least I can finally go to sleep now, lol (in all seriousness I think I'm just gonna brave the rest of the day so I can get back on a normal sleep schedule). I actually talked with three faculty members in the AP subfield at UCD today and the more I hear the more I like the program. Would I have liked UCSD? Sure, who wouldn't, I'd be totally lying if I said I'm not disappointed. But God makes everything happen for a reason and if getting rejected from UCSD was the worst thing that happened to me in my life (and trust me, it is NOT), then I'd be doing pretty damn well. Let me extend and a sincere and heartfelt congratulations to those who did get in though! It's an accomplishment of which anybody should be proud! So, now I can relax for three weeks, wait to hear from Minnesota, and then assess the situation from there. I'll still be of course interested to see how all the people I've gotten to know by their screen names progress in their decision-making these next few weeks. I wish everyone the best of luck! macintosh and APGradApplicant 2
BayesLives Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Also in at UCSD. I'm in IPE - this is exciting! Congrats everyone! Hey guys, new poster here. Just got into UCSD. To the other admits: did you receive a subfield in the admission email? Mine doesn't specify... Good luck to everyone else!
