absolutely thrilled! first acceptance this cycle

Right when I gave up all my hope for this application year. God is gracious.

Didn't send GRE scores as they were optional. Very excited and surprised. BA and MA with honors from top 2 UK university. IR focus.

Hi. Saw that there was no discussion on this. Anybody applied to the program and received any decision? Does anyone know what their timelines are like? They usually respond in 8 weeks but I haven't heard back and its been over 10 weeks already. Should I assume that's a rejection?

Has anyone who got rejected for PhD been recommended for their master's program? Personal email by the assistant director for admissions.

IR Subfield

CP subfield. 1a/3r/12p. Extremely surprised and humbled, after multiple previous rejections this year. Accepted with funding.

Looks like a lot of people received acceptance/ rejection letter already. So far, I didn't receive any decision, and the portal shows still pending. I have reached out to the Department and they noted, "Our department admissions decisions are not yet finalized." Anyone knows whether still possible to get an acceptance or only rejection left? What is more likely to happen based on previous experiences?

Was one of my top picks, could be worse news....
