I am expecting to hear from seven of the eight program in which I have outstanding decisions in that time frame (including a Princeton reject) I have a feeling the final two weeks of Feb will be the craziest for me, but then again UChicago should be sending results any minute now and they're my top choice...

politicalScience Posted February 1, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Chicago MAPSS, which greatly improved my scholar knowledge and competitiveness. I think I can post better data from our program director later when results are mostly coming out.

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? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it would be better than this limbo, between knowing you probably got rejected and holding onto a sliver of Hope and waiting for closure.
