Duvergerian

Got an email from Wisconsin-Madison's Political Science department about recommendation for admission (similar to the web posting, but more positive). Holding off on celebrating until the university finalizes the admission, though.

I applied to Princeton.

You have to click "Enter" after the Grad Application Status page, or at least I did. Then again, I'm not actually accepted yet, so... EDIT: Sorry for the double post.

From Wisconsin: "Your program has recommended you for admission. The Graduate School will be reviewing your file. Please refer to this page for updates." Is this what you had, PrincipalAgent?

Sweats nervously. Sweats more nervously.

Thanks. Subfield: Didn't specify, apparently? (American Politics; I think this was clear via my statement of purpose and interview, though) GRE: Verbal: 168 Quantitative: 170 Writing: 5.0

Thanks, guys! No word on funding yet, but I'm pretty stoked to get accepted. Congratulations!

I get the feeling that graduate schools want you to have questions, at least more so than do regular employers.

Look over your application to see what exactly you said about yourself and the school. Be confident in your statement of purpose, but also have other areas of interest prepared (assuming you have those). Be confident and charming.

Ohio State's in. Accepted!

"Necessary, but not sufficient conditions." - the math part of my brain

We should do a study!

Thanks! I actually have more of a focus on American voting, just applying Duverger's principles.

Just made an account and figured I'd go ahead and post here. From what I'm seeing, my programs will be giving out responses over the span of about a month, which, I'm sure, will be nice and stressful.
