Political Science Graduate School Admission Results

CP Focus, Congratulations to Everyone Accepted!

I'm still in shock. After rejections (or no responses) from programs, I cannot express the relief I feel at the moment. My offer is conditional with GSS funding. I have one last program I'm going to wait to hear from before accepting, but I'll likely end up here because of the funding included with my offer. I was beginning to take rejections personally after SOOO many. Also, I thought my application to this program was a bit of a flop so my self-esteem isn't hurt as badly anymore.

Very competitive school, very competitive year, and not the best fit. Disappointed but certainly not surprised. 2a/0w/6r/1p

I am truly sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission to the Department of Political Science at MIT. We had a record number of applicants this year, far exceeding the number that can be accommodated, and we have had to refuse admission to some very well-qualified applicants. We appreciate your interest in MIT and wish you the very best with your future plans.

Makes sense, it wasn't the best fit. 1a/0w/5r/1p

MA from an American state school and BA from an American state school (both 3.9 GPAs), relevant internship experience. I am thrilled!
