Why not? By the way, which hotel will you stay? I didn't perefer convention hotels. They are too expensive for me.

Kinda IR theory:)

I haven't heard anything drom Vanderbilt. Are they done with the results? Ad what about Upenn?

I am.

Congrats!!! Very strong program.

anyone heard from Upenn?

And Notre Dame rejection arrives..

There are ND acceptance, WL and rejection claims on the list. Yet, I haven't heard anything from them. Should I lose my hope? Also waiting for Vanderbilt,Upenn,UFL

5 Vanderbilt acceptances.. Congrats to all..

Some claims for ND and Vandy on the list, but nothing heard yet.

I can just say that it's a too assertive classification to define Waltz:)

By the way IRTheoryNerd, I am also interested in IR Theory( structural realist mostly)..

Looking forward to hear news from Upenn,Notre Dame, Vandy, Florida I check my inbox 10 times in a day...

Any news from UPenn, Notre Dame?

Hi Berna, I am also Turkish. Your profile seems fine with your targets. Publications will help you so much in my opinion. I applied 4 programs and not sure for one another(Boston College). Best luck,

Chiozza is leaving??? No way!!

Today, I sumbitted 2 of my list. I just realized I did a funny mistake in SOP that I send one of them:) Wish me luck..

For international applicants It is really hard see the rising or declining programs. I add UGA SPIA in my PhD application list. It is ranked #48 in USNews. However, I want to hear any detailed thoughts on program(especially in IR subfield) rather than ranking. Is it a rising program? Methodology? I am interested in International Security and Realist IR theory. I examined the research interests of the faculty. However, I am not sure does it really fit my interest.

Hi everybody... Last year I got 1 of 5 application. I deferred the offer and plan to offer 3-4 progams within this cycle. I need funding. That's why i have to choose carefully these programs. I am not a very competetive one. Major: IR TOEFL: 110 GRE: 310 GPA: 3.65 Master Degree Paper at ISA 2014 3 Internships, (in total) 12 months 2 year- RA experience Notre Dame, UVa(not sure),GWU, Delaware, UT Austin, Boston College, Penn State, Georgia State, Temple, GMason are on my list. I lost my courage last year. Any ideas on the list?

I really wonder Penn State-UT Austin and GWu admits' profiles..

I asked them this. Here is their answer: Our MA program is integrated with our PhD program since you take the same courses and together with PhD students. Our department does not have a self-standing MA program. So you have been admitted to the MA track if an integrated MA-PhD program, as far as I can figure it out. Your eligibility to continue to the PhD track will be determined before the end of your third semester if all goes well.

GWU was my top choice for this cycle in this cycle but I got a sad rejection. However, some professor transfers like Glaser within rencent years are positive improvements for the 'academic' side of the department.

I got two acceptances in this cycle and I need to choose one of them. Binghamton offers me a terminal MA before PhD, UF do offer PhD directly... I have outside scholarship. My Subfield is IR and I would like to do further studies on Int security and IR theory(realist theory). I am open to all advices from intellectual environment to living costs. Which one?

Cycle is over for me. 6 application, 2 positive and 4 negative replies. Not bad. I got an acceptance from one of my top chocies. However, I need to solve problems about scholarship. Good Luck everyone. If ı could start the program, I would do my best here to help other applicants for next cycle.

Thanks you all... I haven't heard from UMD. I am waiting UMD to choose among SUNY,UFL and UMD.
