Hamb Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Today is so slow on the admissions results page that even the trolls took a break.

I edited my name out. "Dear "my name", I'm writing to inform you that admissions decisions will be sent out the week of February 19, 2018. Best, Jessie Eastman Graduate Program Coordinator Department of Political Science" Thoughts?

To me, the theory that they are simply letting students know they're going to be later than previous years seems the most likely. I'm sure they know that we all look at previous dates for our expectations, and I'm also sure that the phone calls and emails that some graduates send trying to get details on decision dates annoy them. I didn't apply there, but to me it's just them giving people a friendly heads up to not expect any word over the next few weeks.

skhann Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 P.S. Jessie is a really nice lady. I had some issues with my application and she was very helpful. I'm assuming she just wanted to keep everyone updated about the process. From my limited personal interaction, I can safely assume the email was sent out to everyone.

skhann Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Everyone got that email I assume. There might have been some delay on some email servers.

You can tell by the salutation that it was a mass email. "Dear First Name Last Name." Not just "Dear First Name." If an email was meant to be sent to one person, the salutation would likely have only contained that person's first name. Edited January 29, 2018 by deutsch1997bw polisciallday 1

skhann Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 So those who were waiting for it have got it now?

JMCrawfordNJ Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Not so much as a troll on the admissions page. It's kind of impressive haha. Maybe they are all gearing up for tomorrow (one can hope).
polsgoals Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Well, got my first rejection from Emory. Good to know one way or the other, though.
buckinghamubadger Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I actually think there might be a technical issue with the admissions page. I've tried to post my UC Irvine admit on both my phone and laptop and the image thingy doesn't show up. Still seems like a quiet Monday though. I have an interview later today, but not a whole lot else. Slow news day.
CandyCanes Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Nothing from Northwestern today. Technically still 26 minutes left before 5:00 P.M. Central time, but I'm guessing we won't be hearing anything today.
deutsch1997bw Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Are we assuming that the Northwestern IR admit is a troll?
