luminalcoin8 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Just to clarify for anyone who's wondering: no credible harvard acceptances have been posted yet. Ayerbender 1

RodneyTrotter Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I'm not sure if anyone else applied, but I received an acceptance from American (SPA) yesterday. NIce funding package plus summer funding and a conference travel grant. Email was just to check the portal for a decision. Also received my Austin rejection. frustrating because this was the one university where I actually knew my POI in person, but perhaps the rest of the department wasn't the best fit.

Strange seeing as my thesis was literally based around research done by my POI, but whatever. Actually this happened to me with WashU. I mentioned that my interest in the topic is generated from the works of my POI there; and my writing sample and SOP were somewhat personalized tributes to his work. And they rejected me outrightly. Too strong alignment (if not obsession) with the POI may have hurt my application. Edited February 16, 2018 by Albert01

I applied as well. Do you know if they have sent out all the decisions?

diter91 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Any domestic (Canadian) applicants received acceptance from Toronto?
PoliSci-freak Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Any Comparativists admitted to Maryland?
S-Kyo Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Congrats! those who accepted by his or her dream school. In such a case, do you reject other offers immediately? Which schools' offer probably will you decline? When is it appropriate to reject offer?
Albert01 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Yale and Columbia may announce today? Or next week? possibleirphd 1
Alex@Beijing Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) 2a, 6r, 0w, 3p now. Seems that it would be my final day for application. Just waiting for rejections from U Chicago, MIT and Cornell. UT-Austin, if the funding is okay, would be a great choice for me. If anyone is interested in China or Chinese politics, please feel free to contact me via PM here. Fingers crossed for myself and everyone still waiting. Edited February 16, 2018 by Alex@Beijing
audre.bored Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Received funding info from UT this morning.
possibleirphd Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Finally got a decision notice from Duke, rejected, but expected. Also never got an email from Vanderbilt to interview so adding that to my rejection pile even though I did not get an official notice. 2a/0w/5r/4p

scarseed Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Anyone heard from Hopkins? Looks like this Friday has been a common acceptance date in past years.
Clytemnahstra Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 11 hours ago, Comparativist said: Yes. How do you know that all acceptances have been sent out?
spcgsw96 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I doubt that all the acceptances for Cornell have been sent out... there are only 3 acceptances listed on the survey and of course not everyone who gets in is on TGC or posts their results, but it seems unlikely that there would be only 3 responses if they had all been sent out. In any case, for my own sanity trying not to speculate on whether silence = rejection as I doubt we can fully know what goes on for every admissions committee every year. No wild hopes but trying to just operate under the idea that only a rejection letter really means a rejection

They sent out acceptances to the people on the list yesterday. Ergo, I would suspect they have all been sent out.
CambridgeHeismanLord Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I know this sounds a bit cliche, but do not give up until you've received a rejection. As I said before, I didn't get my acceptance until early-mid March, and this was far long after many other of my colleagues had gotten acceptances to other places. izmir, Sartori, StudyinMountains and 1 other 4
