Not recommending at JD for anything is an extreme position. I excised the rest of your post from that quote because I agreed with it. Would you not recommend a JD for someone who is considering legal academia but who thinks he/she might be happy practicing if that potential path falls through? Do you think that practicing law is a terrible safety net relative to the available safety nets for poli sci PhD students? What if OP or some other person wants to teach in a law faculty instead of a poli sci faculty? I'm not sure your chances of placing into a TT law faculty job out of HYS Law are significantly worse than your chances of placing into a TT poli sci job out of CHYMPS. But yes, I agree that doing a JD just to "take a few classes in law" is moronic. Also OP should note that you can usually just audit/sit in on law classes as a university grad student with no problem. So there's that.

This is bad advice. Still worth it to do a JD at HYS or at least half funded (if not full) at CCN. Below that, maybe not worth it. For academia? Going to be tough, but stick with HYS or full funding at CCN (Rubenstein at Chi, Hamilton at Columbia, Furman at NYU) and hope for a high level CoA or Supreme Court Clerkship. For poli sci faculty academia? Honestly just try to get a JD-PhD at H, Y, S, or maybe like NYU/Columbia-Princeton. Otherwise don't bother really.

Odd. Still nothing here.

Did you ask Harvard for confirmation or have they already posted it to your application page?

Aw damn. Are they e-mailing?

Another Harvard Govt troll on the results page? They don't call I believe.

Guess so. Either way I'm saying Mon or Tues for H bomb.

Somebody on the results page reported that his app had disappeared on Harvard's Apply page. Mine is still there though. Anyone else getting this?

No Harvard love today. Guessing early next week.

So is Harvard the last hold out here? Seems like everything else is silent...

Doorkeeper, are you theory, CP, or what?

Would be pretty crazy to hear this week, but I'm guessing next Tuesday.

Did you get a no from your POI or something?

That is a terribly organized chart.

Its really terrible. To be honest it made me hate the department. It wasn't just the stress of the weekend, its that I sort of think the idea of it is incredibly insulting and arrogant in the first place. PM me for more info.
