  1. Congrats to whom got admission! But what's going on with these extremely early admissions from UNC, UIUC, UCR, Georgia, and Notre Dame? They seem unusual, comparing to previous cycle
  2. I really appreciate your comments, @Determinedandnervous ! However, I am not sure about quant training when applying for Ph. D, because many professors of my department strongly recommend students have quant skills, especially if students are applying with already having master's degree . This makes me extremely nervous . If applicants do not know about quant skills, then how can they demonstrate their quantitative approach in writing sample?? In this regard, I try to write a writing sample which only uses given statistical information as sources (not using a statistical program from raw data) and I am not sure if this writing sample would be fine for showing that I willingly want to do research in Ph.D with quant approach.
  3. I am especially worried about my gre scores. I've searched average gre scores for each program, but most programs were looking for 160+ in verbal basically. Where would be my chances for ph.d program with this low score? Maybe programs of ranking between 30-40 (or 50) would be safe for applying with this low gre scores? I am looking for the program which offers me full funding, cause I can't Given the fact that it's already November, I don't think I can take a test again. I am really really desperate Undergrad: top university in my country (East Asia) Major: BA History and Polisci Undergrad GPA: 3.7/4.0 Graduate School: top university in my country (same with my undergrad) Graduate Program: MS in Polisci Graduate GPA: 3.8/4.0 GRE: 155V, 164Q, 4.0W Letters of Recommendation: all from professors of Polisci department Research: Masters thesis Publication: 1 peer-reviewed publication(the journal in my country), 1 peer-reviewed under review(guess mid-tier rank journal in US polisci field) Presentations: one poster presentation and one paper presentation (both in US), one paper presentation in my country's conference Teaching: 1.5~2 year of TA Fellowships/Scholarship: TA scholarship during most years of master degree, one fellowship from a Foundation, scholarship from my country(during master's) Experiences: volunteer in UN regional office, undergrad research in abroad, student exchange program in another country Programs I'm Looking At: Hopefully UC Davis, UC Irvine, or SUNY ?? Field: I intend to do AP or CP (quant), but I have no experience in using quantitative methods ( I have mainly focused on qualitative methods during my undergrad and master)
  4. I got a question during my searching on schools. I know that there are lots of movement of professors in this season, I mean before the beginning of the new semester. How can I get the information on which professor goes to where; who is gonna be newly teaching at the specific school, etc? The only thing I can see is that which professor is about to leave at each homepage.
  5. I'm applying for 2016 fall and I have my gre scores 151(v) 163(q) 3(w). I already submitted my application with those scores, but I feel very nervous because of such a low gre. Would there be any chance to get admission from top schools? (I.e. top 10)
