Bobb Cobb Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Bobb Cobb, I really like Mizzou. Both of my cousins from St. Louis went there and loved it (they are both very intelligent). I am doing CP. I am pleased with the sort of talent there and I think it is either a 14k or 16k stipend. I will see when the official letter comes, I guess! That stipend should work pretty well in Columbia. I am not sure what else they have in terms of fringe benefits, but with CP you should be pretty well set if that's where you choose to end up.

It'sgonnabeme Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks. No, I struck out last year, so I am excited to get into Maryland (and maybe live in dc!). I'm sure you are. Edited February 18, 2010 by It'sgonnabeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APGradApplicant Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Congrats to all those who got acceptances today! I, too, wish this was a more eventful week (as I've heard others say), but everything will happen soon enough I guess! SBL and plisar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBL Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 This is pretty random, but has anyone heard anything from UNC? I haven't heard a peep from them. My friend called them up last week. Apparently they said they have sent out all their acceptances and are operating and unofficial waitlist, but that they are rarely turned down beyond their anticipated yield rate. So unfortunately it doesn't look likely any more admissions are coming On a side note, anyone claiming the Berkeley waitlist that went up on the results page? Any details on subfield etc pls?

combos Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Anyone claiming for the Boston University acceptance? :)Is it personal letter or mass email from admission office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mearsheimer's Minion Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 This is pretty random, but has anyone heard anything from UNC? I haven't heard a peep from them. They sent out all of their acceptances at least a couple weeks ago. Then, to prove that they are beyond silly, they sent out a mass email that had everyone's email address clearly visible. Brilliant!

APGradApplicant Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I called UNC last week and talked to the grad secretary. She said that all the acceptances had been sent out. However, she said that the admissions committee was going to meet what was then a week from Wednesday (in other words what's now yesterday) and decide who to put on the wait list. Rejections and WLs would be sent out via e-mail sometime end of this week or early next week she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APGradApplicant Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Nervous- It's a problem because it violates the privacy of applicants who are in the middle of their search for schools. It's also just generally poor form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBL Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I also got that email; why do you think it´s a problem? It's a simple case of being courteous about privacy really. My email is my full name, and I know I'd rather have say over who knows where I was accepted or rejected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APGradApplicant Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I don't think this was a school that I heard many people mention, but I claim the acceptance at University of Iowa. It appears, however, that funding is either limited, non-existent, or not determined, as it is not at all referenced in the e-mail. Yeah, like I'm gonna pay my own way there...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like I'm gonna pay my own way there...haha I think they usually have very small classes compared to peer schools. Also, I know that their funding was weak last year as well. I know someone that knows someone in that department, and they mentioned that the funding was going to be real tight this year too. Of course that is 3rd hand so grains of salt and what not... Either way if so that is a shame because they seem to have a good program with some good potential mentors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APGradApplicant Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Congrats! In my opinion, Iowa is a very good program. Thanks, irishfan! Haven't heard from you in awhile (as a group rather, not just speaking for myself). Have you been surviving the process alright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten into Kentucky and Texas Tech, rejected by New Mexico. Luckily, I've been able to pass the time by working on my thesis, having a 9-5 job, and tutoring some students at a local university.

tomorrows verse Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 A bit random, but does anyone have any insight into the Politics Dept. at Brandeis? I know last year they did not accept any students for their Ph.D. program (damn you Bernie Madoff!); but have they recovered enough to accept students for the upcoming year? By the looks of the results page, decisions from Brandeis have come at various points throughout Feb. and March in the past...anyone know what the timetable might be this year?

interista Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 really curious why Princeton hasn't sent out their rejections yet... I guess they're still deciding on who to wait-list?

Did they refund applicants' application fees? Seems a bit unfair to charge if there is zero chance of being admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Name is Yon Yonson Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 really curious why Princeton hasn't sent out their rejections yet... I myself am wondering the exact same thing. This state of purgatory is draining my focus... The longer the wait, the more (false?) hope and uneasiness I have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomorrows verse Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I believe they did refund application fees last year (I remember seeing someone mention it on the results page). I think they also offered some folks who would normally have been accepted to the Ph.D. program a reduced tuition option on their MA program. Hopefully the email to Keller was true, and Brandeis will be accepting (and funding) students for their Ph.D. program for the Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Did any theory folks claim Princeton acceptances yet? I got in at Princeton; and I applied for IR/Theory. So not pure theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I know that they are probably rejections, and there are other priorities, but it would be great if these schools could go ahead and tell me so I can quit freaking. I mean, don't get me wrong, I hope I have a miracle acceptance from Princeton coming, but it's not highly likely given the history of acceptance/rejection from that program, and I would like to be able to officially shift my focus if I didn't get in.
