Thank you for your interest in the graduate program in Political Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This year we received 110 applications for our Ph.D. program, and our goal is to yield an entering class of 8-10 students. This means that we were unable to admit many high-quality applicants. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you admission. Although we regret having to share this news with you, we appreciate your interest in our program and wish you success in your future studies.

GPA is for undergrad, grad GPA is assumed as 4.0. Applied from France.

No funding info yet - did anyone hear about it?

International applicant.

I had to create an account to check my rejection letter. Also, it has been an extremely unpleasant experience interacting with USC. No communication since submitting the application back in November. I emailed the GDS a couple times and he only responded once. Although we understand you focus your energy and time on your preferred candidates, we paid just as much as those you wanted to come. We deserved to be treated equally.

Applied 2/6/23. Accepted 2/24/23

Domestic Applicant: I guess it's time to dream a new dream.

So freaking happy!!! GPA is masters. Degree is really International Affairs, Science, and Technology, but the rest of my applications are Poli Sci/Government so it kinda fits. Email to check the portal. 1a/0w/4r/6p.

Domestic student. Not too surprised nor disappointed as they were not my first choice. International Relations sub-field. Received unofficial email. 1a/1r/0w/2p. GPA is MA.
