Also, is it out of the normal that I only applied to two Ph.D programs? I did a TON of research on the schools and professors, and picked two that I know I would be happy and successful spending six years of my life at. I'm also very confident in my applications to them.

It seems like people get really caught up with numbers, but make sure your statement of purpose and personal history are really good. Show the admissions board why they need YOU in their class of 15-30 people. Try to create a narrative that shows diversity of thought and the willingness to hit the ground running in grad school.

The deadlines were Dec. 6 & Dec. 12

Hello, I stumbled upon these forums kind of by accident. I'm an undergraduate senior and just finished applying to two political science Ph.D. programs and I couldn't be more excited! I'm curious about how long it takes to hear back. I was thinking ballpark February or March? Congrats to anyone else who's hit the submit button recently or about to!
