Thanks for the info about UIUC. A propos, Winsconsin-Madison are still under review, and I am in the short list before the final cut! The guy answering emails first told me I was rejected, but like 40 mins later he sent me another email explaining I'm still on the list...

My POI at UPenn confirmed I was rejected, so I think they have already made the decissions. No idea whether they contacted the selected applicants. Does anyone have information on the processes at UIUC or Wisconsin-Madison?

Hey lawgrad, I have the same scientific (and personal) interest in ideology. Some of the names I've been gathering in the last years: John Jost (NYU), Jim Sidanius (Harvard), Jaime Napier (Yale), Brian Nosek (UVA), Jon Haidt (NYU-Stern), Jesse Graham (USC), Pete Ditto (UC Irvine), Chris Federico (UMN), Matt Motyl (UIC), Phil Tetlock, (UPenn), Linda Skitka (UIC). From this Fall I'll be working with Ditto at Irvine. In terms of programs, you have to be very open minded, because most of these professors work at social/personality departments, but there are a lot of political psychologists that are affiliated in political science, law departments, or even business departments (i.e. Haidt, Tetlock). If you need further references, feel free to send me a message. Good luck!!
