does anyone know how many people are usually admitted to university of illinois at urbana champaign?

I want to stay anonymous but Harvard Government acceptances went out on Thursday via email from the department chair (Jennifer Hochschild). 25 students were admitted this year.

They say they want cohorts of around 8 to 10 students, so they probably admit something like double that. A good guess would be that they admit approximately 5-6 students in each of IR, comparative, and American politics.

Thanks. I can finally stop waiting for them now...

Seems a little odd that no one on the forum or the results page has claimed Harvard acceptance.

There are now four on the acceptances page and someone earlier in the thread claimed a waitlist.

.. Per insider info, the Gov department hasn't announced anything. HKS has tho. I would take whatever you see posted with a grain of salt, especially on the results thread and from user's who's first post is claiming a Harvard acceptance. I'm about 99% sure they are PSR trolls.

This is incorrect. I stand by what I said, and I'm not a PSR troll.

Where's your insider info coming from?

[not@prof_yet]

Has anyone heard from any of the UChicago masters programs? Specifically MACRM from Harris?

 

And has anyone heard any rejections from UC? I think I saw some acceptances a couple weeks ago?

[deutsch1997bw]

Anyone here think that we'll hear from Indiana this week? 

[Albert01]

Would Yale announce this week? I already assume a rejection. I just need any kind of closure so I can finish off this cycle and move on to the next phase of my personal and academic life.

[Wiesbaden]

Is there someone who gets the notification from Syracuse? If they send mail, not an email...

As far as I can tell, here is what's going on with Harvard Gov: committee members began informally notifying admits / waitlists on Friday, but some committee members have been slower than others. So the overall effect is that good news began trickling down on Friday, stopped over the weekend, and will likely finish trickling down during the first half of this week. Uncharacteristic for Harvard, but there it is. 

Good luck!

(Edit: this applies to Harvard Gov, not necessarily to PEG / other joint programs.)

How were you able to infer this?

[Sartori]

What do you call Kremlinology when instead of the Kremlin, it's the Harvard Government Department? 

[AlphaLvSim]

Got an email an hour ago from UChicago's CIR program with acceptance and 1/3 funding.  I'm happy to have some acceptances, though I was hoping to have a PhD offer (or at least a generously funded MA offer) on the table by now.

[theprincessleia]

Anyone accepted by University of Illinois UC american politics subfield? 

[luminalcoin8]

Anyone claiming the Yale admit?

[Stanford_PE]

Have you all started declining offers of admission yet?

Yes.

With some of the incredible schools you have, I think you certainly can decline others.

Yale decisions have been made but are still proceeding through various layers of bureaucracy. (It is possible that a POI jumped the gun on making a call, or that the result is a troll.)

Yup, I got rejected a while ago.

[S-Kyo]

I feel I will not hear any news in this week again. One more week to wait?
