Other than interviews, I have not started yet, meaning that I may wait for a month maybe? Waiting has been really painful, I did not expect it to be so difficult. Dreamer109 1
Generic Username Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Re: Columbia, is anyone still in the same position I'm in, where the application status in the application portal still just reads "submitted"?
CKr Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Yep same boat. Seems like people in the American subfield have that problem, if that's the subfield you applied to.
swampyankee Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Same here. Someone a page back was accepted to Columbia in the American subfield. So the deck is not stacked favorably. But with several rejections posted as well, hope springs eternal.
Generic Username Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I did apply to the American subfield. I'm assuming it doesn't bode well, but you never know.

Waiting has been really painful, I did not expect it to be so difficult. It has been painful. I got four letters out the gate, first week of February. That was followed by nothing for weeks. i just want some closure so I can get to work on planning the move and what not... and yeah one or two more acceptances would be amazing! luminalcoin8, tigerlilies and Sartori 1 2
Sartori Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Could it be an as-yet-unannounced wait list, or d'ya think they haven't sent out American rejections? (Anyone claiming an American rejection?) I'm pretty sure I checked the box that said: "Nice Try, But Under No Circumstances Am I Going To Pay For Another Master's Degree." Hamb 1

Maybe they've already sent out all the acceptances. They said it was an email, and didn't specify which program (Harvard or Harvard PEG). Taking history into account, it seems very unlikely that so few acceptances would be posted, and even unlikelier still that no one on here would claim at least one. But I could be wrong!

Oh, I think there was someone else for PEG too. But the second guy said it was from the Chair of the department-- does PEG have a Chair?

They do, according to my POI's CV (he was it for some time). yeah, i did see that posted rejection for peg. i guess we'll just have to wait and find out

Is it late Feb or early March?
AlphaLvSim Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 So, finally decided to register. Thus far, it has been a pretty brutal season, with 9 rejections and 5 pending applications (mostly Phd programs, but also two terminal masters). Today I got this email that (maybe) indicates that I got in to UCSD's GPS MPP program: "Thank you for your application to the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego. I'm pleased to inform you the admissions committee has reviewed your file and feels you will be an excellent fit for GPS. At this time your application has been nominated for admission, and in the coming days our committee nomination will be reviewed by the UC San Diego's Graduate Division. You will receive official communication from that office, via email, regarding your file. Congratulations on your nomination!" Perhaps that means that I am accepted but it is a matter of funding from the Grad Division? One of the reasons that GPS was on my MA list was because their deputy director of admissions told me that they do offer full rides, and even sometimes a stipend. This is also the school that massively (hopefully accidentally) trolled me: I come home to a thick envelope from them, open it excitedly, and find that it contains a wall calendar with nothing else, not even a "good luck on your still pending application!".

Perhaps that means that I am accepted but it is a matter of funding from the Grad Division? It means the program accepted you. But, usually, all acceptances for grad programs need to be finalized by the graduate school administration. This is usually just a formality - very very rarely do you not get accepted by the grad school after being accepted by a program. You can consider it an acceptance at this point. It's not necessarily a matter of funding. ShropshireLad 1

It's not necessarily a matter of funding. That is good to know! I should have clarified RE: funding. It seemed like the GPS program offered more substantial funding packages compared to the east coast schools (I'm looking at you Elliott School at $65k/year tuition and $8k/year max scholarship) so I was wondering if perhaps it is a higher level decision to craft an offer package beyond "give us all your money, cool?".
zomgliekwtf Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Does anyone know when the visit dates are for Columbia? tigerlilies 1
mmmslllsllsllllslllsl Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Any theory people heard back from Vanderbilt?
PoliSci-freak Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Should we expect to hear back from JHU & IU early next week? Also, those who know anything about Maryland, if one hasn't heard a thing from them, is it safe to assume a rejection at this point?

Not sure how they handle their waitlist
