rising_star Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Waiting no more...denied. For me the application was obligatory (and result expected). No faculty really shared my interests. Why was it obligatory (asks the person not in polisci)? Like why apply if no faculty match your interests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephyr Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 accepted to Berkeley. congrats! did you get called or emailed by a professor, or was it a mass email? just wondering - i didn't get anything from them, so i'm assuming i didn't get in.

polisciapp Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Congrats. When did you get this email (2:18am)? Funding? Who else was admitted? Or did the original poster simply enter data 3 times in the results page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickj07 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 hah, i only posted once with the "Yesss" the others were different notes, so they may not post in this thread. i received an email, which must have been sent about 10:30 pm west coast time. No word on funding yet, which I knew would be the case thanks to the boards. i wouldn't give up hope yet. I think it was either 2006 or last yr. where some more people got in a week after the first batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 hello all! this is my first post after lurking for awhile. in @ Berkeley which is absolutely fantastic. still need to hear from four more schools... anyone in at Stanford or Yale? I can't believe Yale received 8,600 applications! In fact, I don't believe it...doesn't quite make sense, unless the poster was applying to the undergraduate division...

polisciapp Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 8,600 total applications to the graduate school, not just political science. Congrats on Berkeley! Can you give us a bit of info about yourself? Also, if you could, post your info here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/polisciapps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanJames Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 It's official, rejected at Illinois. I was a bad fit at their program anyways, but seeing as how they were one of my lower middle/safety schools, I'm pretty sure I'm not getting in anywhere. Well I guess it's time to grow up and actually start using my law degree, blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 right. that makes much more sense. hey policiapps. haha... i've already headed the call. i'd like to preserve my anonymity but i guess i can say my gpa is below a 3.5, but i did very well in poli sci courses, especially in my last two years--late bloomers, there is hope for you. I went to an HYPS and had stellar recommendations (I hope, I think) which probably made a very big difference. i've been out of school for a bit and have some kick-ass international experience. i scored above a 700 on both sections of the GRE, but i am told that doesn't really matter. good luck to everyone.
