On a related note: This sounds like it should be basic but I’m not sure how to determine the subfield rankings of schools below #10? I saw a thread saying that until #15 or 20 should be “if you have to ask if they are, they aren’t” but I’m not sure if this is great advice to someone like me who tends to second guess everything.

May I ask when did you receive an offer from UT Austin? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I received emails from two professors not mentioned in my SOP and emails from one professor mentioned in my SOP. Makes me think I did a bad job selecting professors for my SOP...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most programs that you mentioned sent out some acceptances several weeks ago. So, I think it is legitimate to ask the graduate coordinators of each program.

How can I know whether Victor xu will release some information on this thread again? I was just asking how you would phrase the question to the graduate coordination. Because you stated that it is "legitimate to ask the graduate coordinations of each program" at this point, I was just curious as to how you would go about doing so. I'm not sure what's "bold" about that. Edited February 14, 2018 by deutsch1997bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the page address. https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=political&t=a&o=&pp=25 Although you find that some acceptances already sent out, you cannot figure out the status of your application. Maybe you are in their unofficial waitlists, or they have been still deliberating. It is also possible that they have not sent out rejections. So, in order to know the exact status of your application, you should ask to someone who has exact information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
