  1. Attending UCLA's Political Science PhD program beginning in the Fall. 24 year old male, pretty laid back. Please PM me if you are also looking for a place to live in LA. Thanks!
  2. Thanks for the response. More considerations: Weather and atmosphere definitely are not the same (Program A is in Southern CA and Program B is in the Midwest). Program A has a good deal more senior faculty in my sub-field than does Program B. So, contrary to my first post, there may be quality of life and future prospects issues at hand. To complicate things, though, Program A, which is giving me less $) is in a more expensive area, whereas program B (which is giving me more money) is in a cheaper area. Also, Program B, despite having less senior faculty, has had a better placement record recently than A. So confusing!

  4. Hi All- I have narrowed my choices down to two programs. Program A is slightly higher ranked in my subfield (theory), is funded through a one-year fellowship and guaranteed TA-ships for years two-five. No guaranteed summer funding. Program B is ranked less highly than A, but is still well-respected in the sub-field. I would receive a 1.5 year fellowship, guaranteed summer funding for 5 years, and guaranteed TA-ships for five years. the TAships pay more at Program B, and Program B is in a less expensive area. Basically, the choice comes down to this: Higher ranked program with a smaller monetary offer vs. slightly lower ranked program with a significantly higher monetary offer. My research interests are covered by faculty at both places. Thanks very much for your help, GradCafe.

  6. Yes-I contacted the DGS a few days ago. He said that their offers were out, and there's a waitlist of people that they will begin to contact after some offers fall through. I'm not sure, though, if those on the waitlist have been contacted.
  7. Just FYI to CUNY PhD Applicants- Be sure to check the status of your application and don't rely solely on receiving an email. I was accepted and found out by logging in.
  8. Thanks! My sub-field is theory, my POI's are Roberto Alejandro and Nicholas Xenos, primarily.
  9. I just received an email acceptance to UMass from the Chair of the AdComm. I hope you hear good news soon!
  10. I was accepted to Minnesota. The DGS called my cell on Sunday night.
  11. Hi All- Does anyone have a link to the most recent APSA dept. rankings? Would be much appreciated. Thanks!
  12. Does anyone have any info on the length of these sub-field waitlists?
