2017-2018 Application Cycle

[buckinghamubadger]

Does anyone have any inside info on WashU-STL or Michigan? These are basically the main two I'm looking out for, otherwise, it's probably Notre Dame for me. (Though I'll see what Brandeis and USC offer me if I get in)

I mean he also claimed UGA admit where I can't find any other person who got into Georgia so far...

Forgive me, but I'm a bit skeptical about this person's claims.

@deutsch1997bw IU wanted to speed up their timeline this year so they could be real. IU also offers a dual Public Policy/Political Science PhD program and they wanted to start getting the decisions for both programs out at around the same time, I guess there was a gap between when decisions were released in past years. I earned my MPA as IU and knew some faculty with dual appointments but that totally could have just been gossip/what they wish they were doing since I have already graduated.

I want to say congrats, but more than that, I want to say: go charge your phone.

Well, I stand corrected. Congrats on the admission.

I'm just going to sit here and assume I've been rejected from everywhere at this point. It's really not worth putting myself through this process and fucking my head up with this.

Lmao you’re right. I just left the gym. 

 

Thanks for both, friend!

I talked to the graduate director two weeks ago and it appears they are sending out their acceptances in waves. So it appears if you have not been accepted yet you were not in the "first wave" of acceptances for you sub field but you could still be accepted in future waves. 

Oh, thanks for the information. Was the first acceptance already posted on the results page, when you were talking with the DGS?

[deutsch1997bw]

It does make me feel slightly better that the admission was for an Americanist.

Congrats! Hope they send out other decisions soon. By the way has your status changed on the application page?

I had a mild freakout when I saw the first post. I talked to them on January 25th

Is your S.O. American subfield by chance?

Yes. AP subfield.

Hm, did they post up the results on gradcafe? I just ask because I noticed the three posted were all American/methods.

Were you notified by your POI?

Sorry, I guess there is confusion. I haven’t been accepted to Illinois. I wasn’t in the first wave of acceptances. They told me I was “in their top 10, but not their top 3” so I would not be accepted in the first wave.

Do you mean Indiana?

Sorry meant to be replying to a post about Illinois earlier. So disregard everything i've responded to in terms of Indiana. 

[csantamir]

Anyone claiming the Indiana IR admit?

Oh, so you contacted the department on that day. I am in the same boat. However, I think they have not sent out all acceptances. They would admit about 18-20 people if they target 8-10 new students. Then, I think at least 3-5 admitted students would post on the results page. 

[spcgsw96]

Do you guys think all the UCLA admits are out? Really bummed about this one because I thought I had a good correspondence with a POI there...

[PoliSci-freak]

Any comparative Indiana Bloomington admits?

[Wiesbaden]

Are there anyone who applied to USC or UCSB? No news so far.

I applied to USC (as well as went there for undergrad), and I can confidently say I have heard literally nothing.
