Please share your news to the forum if you heard anything from USC :(

Political theory subfield. Thought interviews had gone well and that I was a strong fit.

Email to check portal. At least they "deeply appreciated" my interest /s

Email to check portal. Expected this. 2a/3r/0w/5p

I haven't gotten a rejection yet (yes I checked the promotion/social/spam folders on gmail). Does this mean I'm waitlisted? Haven't gotten any emails from Cornell.

Email from DGS (filed under 'Promotions' tab on Gmail). This one hurt a little - thought this program was a very solid fit. 1a/5r/0w/2p

Undergrad GPA: 3.77. Grad GPA: 4.0. Around 10 policy papers/book reviews published. 0a/8r/4p

Very nice email from DGS and POI. Hard decision because of the great faculty, but will most likely be rejecting offer.

I'm a current Emory employee so this one hurt a little. I hear they are looking for people who have experience with formal models, so if Emory is your first choice, try to get some experience with that!

So excited to be accepted in such a tough year. 13 out of more than 600 applicants were offered admission. For future application cycles, they're starting to look for more Africanists.
