Both are great programs! WIsh you are having a great time in Boston! Just admitted to Duke, so I guess I may sit in a similar boat again this time.
Wiesbaden Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I think my last hope is UCSB... Maybe USC...?
sbs2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Are any of you Duke-accepted people in Political Theory? Looking like my chances are pretty grim...but, could be that you're all in the other fields. 1a/0w/1r - 11p Also, not sure of the convention--I think what I just indicated was 1 admit, 0 waitlisted, 1 reject, 11 pending. Verify? (First time poster. Glad this cite exists, and annoyed. I have wasted considerable time reading stuff/refreshing results page) possibleirphd and Clytemnahstra 2
diter91 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Anyone here applying to Canadian schools? Toronto, UBC?

I get the sense that both won't respond until the end of Feb if not early March. They both accepted apps until Jan. 15th

So, we might need to wait for a little bit. How were you in contact with a POI from Berkeley? Did you have an interview?

Nope, it was not an interview. He was introduced to me by my adviser and we had a Skype talk about my research last December. He also happens to sit on this year's Ad Committee.

megabee Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Is there any kind of record of when programs have historically done their visit weekends? Scheduling when you've only heard from a few programs is a nightmare. I wanna leave the weekends for my top two or three choices open in case I get accepted, but sometimes it's hard to figure out when those are. devpolicy, ComparativeStreak and and654 1 2
SerenityNow! Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Not sure if anyone else applied to Texas A&M but I just received an acceptance via email! The email was from a professors account though so they may be trickling out instead of coming out in a blast. skhann, Hamb and izmir 3

Verify? (First time poster. Glad this cite exists, and annoyed. I have wasted considerable time reading stuff/refreshing results page) That is also my question. Based on Duke's results last year, it seems that they takes two days to send out admissions, then use the third and fourth day to sent out rejections and waitlists. I guess we will probably know something before the end of the week. sbs2018 1

Do not let this dwindle your hopes for other schools because I spoke to professors on the admissions committee and last year their cohort was larger than expected, so this year they were going to accept fewer students. They probably want fit over anything. Edited January 31, 2018 by possibleirphd sbs2018 1

I heard this from the POI "we will likely be accepting a small number of political theory students next year but that in part is contingent on the impact of the current tax bill on graduate education.

deutsch1997bw Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Any chance that we will hear from UT-Austin today?
