TTPB: Sorry to hear about your only application. Also reporting my rejection fyi. IR subfield

so I guess they are releasing decisions in batches. I thought I could be waitlisted, too. however, continuing rejections make me lose my hope, which is already very little. this was my one and only application. I thought I was a good fit. POIs sent positive feedbacks etc. I don't know man. I feel so sad. pandemic, unemployment, and this waiting game kill me. anyways, congrats to those who got in! and I wish all the best to those who got rejected. be happy!

Email to check the portal at 12 pm EST. Generic rejection letter. AP.

I did not receive any applicant ID and my status said "Your application has been submitted". I contacted them to obtain the ID after seeing posts here. They replied with the decision in the email.

Losing hope...

Yes i agree with you. Since it is a PhD program, i guess they need to see all the applications before making any decision. I also applied on 16th December. A previous post suggests someone got rejected already who submitted on 16th dec.

I applied 1 day before the deadline. However, I don't believe the way they send round of rejections is related to the day you submit your application.

To the post below: I haven't heard anything yet. But i guess there will be a second round of rejection coming up with all the offers. Best of luck. When did you apply?

Still haven't heard anything from LSE. Is this a sign of acceptance?

Those who have posted/will be posting economics phD decisions, could you please mention when did you apply?

To the post below, I quite don't understand the fuss about all these interviews as the official call (for any of the PhDs in Bocconi, except for Law) clearly mentions that the admission committee "might" conduct a long-distance interview to understand more about candidate's qualification - but NO POINTS ARE AWARDED for this interview. So, it doesn't really matter even if there is/isn't an interview invite. I understand that the admissions committee would like to talk to you (and perhaps, only) if they want to double-check/confirm something that might be peculiar in documents that you have submitted (in your sop/research interest/other qualification - for eg. if you have sought for English language exemption) - which may or may not affect the acceptance decisions. As far as Social and Political science is concerned, no haven't heard anything from them. But, of course, it's too early to worry abt it, as the call has provided a clear deadline of 16 March for the decision. So let's chill and keep ourselves relaxed. :)

MRes/PhD

Applied on 4th Jan, 2021.

Did anyone else in the IR subfield hear anything from Vandy? I was interviewed but heard nothing back.

To the Cornell Government CP poster below, congrats! Would you mind claiming your acceptance in the forum as many are curious if Cornell has released decisions for this subfield yet. Thanks! forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/126462-2020-2021-application-thread/page/127/
