  1. Do you think the Harvard post is real or fake?
  2. cj obviously knows more than me about methods training, but I believe you can do coursework in the economics department. I think they recently placed someone at Chicago (doing a postdoc at Princeton at the moment I believe) who received an MA in economics while there. That is a great way to go. I don't think ruling out Yale because they lack experienced methodologists (I am basing this on what cj has said, I honestly don't know the situation) is a smart idea (unless, of course, your main focus is Methods and not a substantive area like IR). I don't know what your interests are, but if someone can take courses in the econ department, I am sure you will be allowed to take courses in the Stats department. Yale has a fantastic program. Congrats on being admitted. * I did not apply to Yale, so I have no horse in this race.
  3. I wouldn't blame it all on Theory. Most schools explicitly state the subfield of their placements and there is still huge variation among top-20/25 programs within the subfields that aren't suffering as much as Theory in this job market. I personally have been examining IR placement primarily and comparative placement as a secondary concern (since my IR focus dips into comparative a bit) and I still have all of the concerns that jazzrap has stated.
  4. In regards to the 1-on-1 with Professors, what is discussed during that time? I suck at interviews (something I desperately have to work on), so I am naturally freaking out about sitting in a room with an expert in my area.
