    RobinL got a reaction from Katekm in Maxwell 2017   
    Now I feel bad for what I said, Maxwell2019 and brittanyandrea are definitely correct, reach out! 
    PolySciGuy: Economics degree. Officially from a smaller private university in IL, but technically I spent 2 years in Stockholm, 1 at a bigger more known state university in the US and then the last year here. GPA ~3.7, major ~GPA 3.9. GRE 159/164 I think. Am "older" (turning 30). Worked a few years in fundraising, a few years in local and national government agencies, last year spent at a really big one. One letter was from boss there, think it helped a lot, other two from professors. If not obvious I am Swedish but currently living in the US since ~2 years. That's about it. 
    EDIT: I guess I technically am a statistics minor too, if I were to have taken my stuff over here.

    I just got an email about being offered a graduate assistantship as well as some cash grants that would all in all cover over $55,000 of my total costs!!! I am SO happy now!

    RobinL reacted to fallmpp2017 in WWS MPA 2017   
    Okay so I've been digging through GradCafe and it looks like WWS has a 68% yield (percentage of people who accept their offer of admission) according to their annual report: http://wws.princeton.edu/about-wws/wws-annual-report
    So I am just crossing my fingers that a lot of people with a similar profile to mine defers or declines.

    Twas the Day 'Fore Admissions
    'Twas the day 'fore admissions, and all through the forum,
    Not a person was working, they'd built quite a quorum. 
    Their essays were written, with pride and with care, 
    But would they get in? Not a one was aware. 
    They paced through their offices and homes oh so stressed, 
    While their little hearts beated away in their chests.
    They gnawed at their nails and rended their flesh,
    They rapped on their keyboards, and tapped at refresh. 
    An email arrived! The time! It has come!
    Oh, no, wait, it's just a letter from mum. 
    "Ugh, Mom!" they did shout. "Can't you see that I wait?
    For a letter from Harvard to come on this date?"
    And far off in Cambridge, the admissions committee,
    Laughed and sneered and guffawed without pity.
    They sipped on their mai tais and laughed at the plebs,
    "Having fun waiting, you dorks and you dweebs?"
    But at last they decided, long enough they had waited, 
    They'd read and reread, discussed and debated.
    They gave off a shout and it rang through the city
    "Behold a decree from the admissions committee!"
    They turned to the students at The Grad Cafe
    Who'd fretted and talked, and stopped working all day,
    "We think you're quite swell, and you're so very cool
    Welcome to Harvard's John F. Kennedy School!"
