Best (proper) ranking of graduate programs
resDQ replied to curvilineardisparity's topic in Political Science Forum
Placement and support are huge factors for me. You can have the biggest names in the field in a department, but if they do not place what good are they to you? And by placement, I do not mean that one random student they placed at an R1. Not everyone wants to work at an R1, so that may skew placements a bit. However, if you can't place the students who want LACs in LACs, that is a problem. IMO. Consistency in placement is key.- 12 replies

We should hear from them soon. With the big schools coming out soon, I don't like going into next week with no acceptances.
-
Princeton is a troll. And for those who got into OSU, CONGRATS! I would wait until you here from the dept. before panicking about funding (although OSU does give out unfunded offers, so prepare yourself for that).
-
I don't see any program deviating from their usual practices. And by the end of next week is soon.
-
do you know if all decisions are out?
-
Portal being slow is out of their control, but why doesn't the DGS or the admissions chair email those that were accepted? Seems slightly disorganized in its current state.
-
idk. When I searched the results page, notifications came end of February/beginning of March.
-
I think there are people who would update the results page, but not come on here and vice versa (coming here but not update the results page). Even though you and I find them strange, they do exist. They were removed because I marked them as spam. Sometimes the moderators remove things and sometimes they don't.

Harvard trolls?
-
I have no horse in this race, but I remember it being said that the OSU grad school system updates slowly. I would wait a bit until freaking out.
-
maybe you should just go back to sleep. Where in Asia are you? I traveled all throughout. It really is lovely.
-
I'm pretty sure, but not certain.
-
No offense, but those were troll posts. There is nothing wrong with pointing out trolls for being trolls...
-
did you get into Higgs too?
-
Congrats!
-
I'm assuming everything posted today (aside from Illinois wait list) thus far is a troll.
-
Not sure if desperation or just boredom.
-
No. I'm guessing from previous threads and the results page that UNC typically gives one acceptance out very early (to a very good applicant that they nominate for a fellowship) then everyone else comes later.
-
the only acceptances confirmed here: UNC, Georgia, and Rice
-
definite troll. They could at least wait until feb. to make it a bit more believable.
-
This, but I wonder how trolls choose programs. The most elaborate ones have been for Berkeley and UT Austin.
-
Thank you so much for checking. Glad I missed all of this drama.

A History prospective students first post on this site is in the polisci forum?....

Not everyone has good advisors or parents who are aware of life in academia in general. If I didn't have good advisors, I wouldn't have the same knowledge I have about it. For 1st generation college students, the info can be lacking.
