Dont sweat it, you got it...im willing to bet on it. Thats how confident I am

I second this

Well, Schools are back today..it went by kind of fast if you ask me

I was talking to the faculty, they said that I could maybe get a consolation master's and waive in to the PhD...I will more than likely decline. It was for an early admission thing for minorities or something. Im pissed though

Got rejected...smh

look under the professional programs section.

How is funding determined for a PhD program?

Oh I pulled a 4.0 this semester..including a graduate stat class...hopefully thats enough to push me over the line!

I have 5 for one school. I was told by some of my recommenders they were out of the country...so i got someone i know (fellow student) to write one...then all the profs sent their recs in so I have 4 & 5 at some places. mostly 3 tho

Applications are referred..

love the signature

I got into a MA in Economics and the books for Macro is Advanced Macroeconomics from Romer and Microeconomic Theory by Mas Colell. What math is needed to succeed in these courses? The econometrics book is Woolridge and the Mathematical book is the Intro to Mathematical economics book that most UG prgrams use. I only took Calc 1 and I dont want to get into anything too deep and fail out. I have to pay for this also and relocate (another reason Im hesitant). Thanks!

Buy a good statistics book with a mystatlab. I think mystatlab alone costs about 100 dollars and comes with a ebook and you can learn at home. my uni uses it for most stats classes

I think im in deliberation at one school. I was asked for info for my application and then they just went dark; no more responses :/

Thirteen schools. You should get one at least. Hopefully you applied to a good range of schools to ensure that.

I know they have them for medicine, but are there any summer research opportunities for political science, UG, Masters or PhD students? If so where?

Looks good to me.

Hit Georgetown, Maryland, Florida State and maybe Johns Hopkins. Delaware for safety if you want one.

Are you trying to be a professor or are you going back to your country?

Delaware's placement isnt great...UMass places better, i believe.

Send in a safety. You still have like a month

This is going to be a long 2 months

If its a true representation of the student's ability, than fine. If the student can do better, I would retake. My GRE is low, but I studied for a month, took a computer adaptive practice test and scored EXACTLY the same on the real GRE. Plus, I dont have another 100+ to shell out on a test, so Im rockin with it.

A 450 in verbal is low. That's really low. I mean atleast a 500 would look good. But 450..sheeesh

Virginia is good for IR. You sure you dont want to apply for American or Georgetown? It seems like your targeting DC and Florida. Since you have a scholarship I would possibly try for those two also.
