  1. Political Theory PhD's come from a lot of different academic backgrounds, so it shouldn't be a problem. On a side note, Duke's program does a lot of religion and politics stuff, and they have a world class divinity school there if you wanna integrate your theology background with politics.
  2. You have to realize the difference between "Rhetoric" in the English Departments, and "Rhetoric" in the Communication (Which is UT's one) Department. That being said, UT does have a good program in Comm Studies. However, be aware, that the Rhetoric subfield's job market isn't that great (In Comm Studies, not in English). Of course, it's still loads better than a regular English Ph.D, so w/e. Edit: About your GPA, A 3.0 could keep you from getting looked at by top programs (Make sure to get a good GRE score). I would definitely throw in a few MA programs as backup options, preferably ones which guarantee funding.
  3. Old topic, but I'm bumping because I'm curious about the topic too.
  4. Even though I am a few years away from (possibly) going through this process, I just wanted to pop in, revoke my lurker status, and wish everyone luck during this admission cycle. I wish each one of you the very best; well, even more so for the political theorists out there.
  5. Does anyone know if Comparative Literature at these schools share the high number of applicants?
