Any info about IR and/or Political Theory at Ohio State?

Thanks! Same to you. I submitted a bunch of other applications prior to this and, comparatively, PIKSI was really informal. That might be one of the reasons why I don't feel too worried about it. Plus, didn't they extend the deadline from March 4 to the 7? If they did, it seems to me to be a telltale sign that they didn't receive a sufficient amount of applicants.

No, I didn't either. I would suggest emailing the institute to find out. I'll check tomorrow and let you know as well.

I did. I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate this summer due to another obligation. I'm assuming acceptances and rejections won't be sent out for a while.

I've been a long-time lurker on both Philosophy and Political Science forums here and I've seen this same, if not stronger, sentiment in Political Science. I'm not sure exactly what the reasoning behind this is, but it might be due to methodology. The point I've often seen made is that if you get your PhD at a European university--barring Oxford and Cambridge--you'll be limited to European universities for positions.
