Just heard back from Northwestern with an acceptance, including full funding and fellowships. Thought I was out for sure with not yet hearing back. So there could still be hope.
I've heard mixed things about the legitimacy of NSSR overall, particularly in how it's perceived by graduate departments in other schools. Can anyone give good feedback on how Political Science graduate study is perceived at NSSR specifically? The school doesn't usually make it to the rankings. Also, is it feasible to apply to top doctoral programs out of its Political Science M.A.?
