Political Science Graduate School Admission Results

Called to check status, told that I was not a "no" and was a "possibility"--i.e., de facto waitlist.

Called and told on a waitlist--hear by April 15.

notified via email from Goldstein, after four official and unofficial straigt rejections (Cornell, Columbia, Princeton, and MIT)...still waiting on Harvard. Good luck to everyone!!

You cant fake the fit on a nasty dunk.

Emailed them. Didn't get in. It's not ALWAYS sunny in Philadelphia anyways.

To the person asking whether my status changed on the online app. Yes, it changed to "Decision made."

Even though I was acquit ante with some people there.....

Thin letter, thought it was a reject... fooled me!

Pretty nice letter, we were impressed with your credentials but don't have the resources to admit all qualified applicants, accepted 8% out of over 300 applications, blah blah blah. Totally expected it. Oh, and I am located in the Boston area.

To the MIT poster below, thanks! I will be looking forward to my rejection letter upon arriving at home. Somehow I feel like sending it back and telling them I was accepted to better schools anyway.

Funding decisions TBD, but some sort of offer guaranteed.

MIT-rejection day (letter dated feb 27 2008)

rejected from BU? wtf. - ive been accepted to much better programs already, this is ridiculous

Letter giving username and password for website in order to view decision...but my app. is still under review

Oh, bitter fate! Mm, actually, this fate tastes vaguely like raspberries.

Dude I was rejected. It's been way to long since accepts went you. I'm declaring it. I mean, a solid program, but 22K to live in Manhattan? "Hey what kind of car do you drive?" "I don't drive a car and I can't afford to eat out, I do polsci at Columbia." A conversation I WONT be having.

Columbia (see below), NOT British Columbia. 22k in British Columbia is enough to hire live in help.
