  1. I'm definitely IR, interested in formal modelling causes of war and political psychology! Media studies and American foreign policymaking too! Edit: Because people messaging (who are awesome btw!) have asked about my stats, I'm working with a 3.4 undergrad gpa from a top liberal arts college/university (ranked ~5), a 3.8 from an MA at a ~50 ranked school and a GRE score of ~1400. I've got publications in foreign affairs outlets like TNI, one in FP and a couple of others, but only one journal (a very lowly tiered one).
  2. Hey all, I'm applying this season after having flunked last time around. Honestly, it was my own fault. I didn't match up fit-wise with the schools I applied to and only sent in materials to a few. I'm back and have been very much trying to match myself up in terms of fit and chances of admission. I've identified a number of good schools with multiple scholars I'd be interested in working with, but I was wondering which 50-75 ranked programs are generally thought of as good deals in terms of placement and the likes? Additionally, I'd be very interested to know if anyone has any perception of George Mason as a program. I talked to a professor from there at MPSA recently and am fairly encouraged by both the faculty, the resources, the location and the ranking. However, I know that it is a new program that is only just now graduating its first PhDs.....any thoughts? Are programs like this a huge risk, even if they have got themselves ranked decently high without even placing candidates yet (the first candidate just rolled off the line)? Thanks!
