deutsch1997bw Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 I just spoke with the admissions secretary at UT-Austin regarding my application, and the committee is still deliberating.
politicalScience Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 For those who applied to Columbia: I briefly spoke with a Professor there and was told that they plan to release decisions towards the end of February. If true, that would be later than previous years.

From what I've read about CIR or MAPSS etc, there is the element of name recognition and the possibility of getting LOR from experts etc. I can understand that you do not want to blame it on Chicago and that might as well be the case. Still, for prospective PhDs that's somewhat of a warning sign. No? Expand I feel like the lone voice for Chicago's MAPH on this thread -- essentially it's the same as MAPSS, or it can be, depending on the classes that you take. (Everyone always thought I was MAPSS because I don't think there was a single MAPHer in any of the courses—outside first quarter core—that I took.) So MAPH is another great one to look into, especially if you veer towards the interdisciplinary side of things.

Asaid Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 GG from UPenn this morning tweeted something about LoR. So I gathered they are still reading files?
