  1. I just got an acceptance to Hopkins in an brief email from the DGS this afternoon. I actually sent an inquiry to the coordinator earlier today since there were decisions posted, and was told they were meeting today and sending out decisions Monday. Thats the information I have.
  2. Just wondering, did you apply to study Political Science with a focus on Japan?
  3. I didn't get anything T_T 12 schools left to go!
  4. I recently applied to Washington and WUSTL, per advisor suggestions as well. My LOR writers are okay with doing 14, which is god-like. If I get accepted nowhere, I will move on, but I will give it my best shot!
  5. Hi guys. Just dropping in. Applying to Polisci Ph.D from undergraduate. I'm graduating from Michigan with a gpa of 3.74 and a major GPA of 3.9. However, since I'm graduating in 3 years, I do not have much in the way of a thesis or too much research. I'm hoping to study Comparative Politics, specifically immigration and ethnic politics in Japan. In my undergraduate experience, I focused on Eastern European and Russian politics. I can read Russian, and am fluent in Chinese and Japanese. My recs will be pretty good, one old, well known professor, one rising professor in Japanese politics, and a visiting professor in law. Currently my application list are mostly extreme reaches: Harvard Princeton Stanford UC Berkeley Columbia MIT UCSD UCLA Chicago Wisconsin Madison Upenn Johns Hopkins I have a feeling I will get into none of those 12 programs. Does anyone have any suggestions for additional schools? I would prefer not to do an MA, but I will apply to Monbusho scholarship to study and research in Japan in March if I am not accepted. Thanks so much!
