    Thank you for your advice!! I studied at a university in Singapore, and almost all my profs were once PhDs from the Ivies so I am not so worried about the different methodologies or approaches to study PoliSci. Rather, what worries me is that our "peripheral"- geographically speaking- status does not reward us many EAS research/ exchange/internship opportunities that students from top universities in China/ Korea/ Japan enjoy. SOP is gonna be my headache... As an undergrad, I was always inspired by scholars who use knowledge in one discipline to illuminate another field or whose works in one field have significant implications for other disciplines. Skocpol and Elizabeth Perry are the names on the top of my mind right now. It's nothing like a concrete study plan or anything but I guess I'm leaning towards what some people call "interdisciplinary approaches"- and I need to operationalize that in my SOP.

    Hi all! Looking for tips on application for MA/ PhD programs in EAS (GRE and statement of purpose in particular) I want to apply to the following programs(maybe just some preliminary ideas): RSEA at Harvard, MA in East Asian Studies at Yale, MAPSS at UChicago, PhD in Sociology/ History/PoliSci at Michigan, and maybe some others. I graduated January this year and am working in an unrelated field right now.TBH, it was a hard decision that I've made up my mind to pursue an advanced degree in social science/ humanities. I've been caught up by the dilemma between 1. doing meaningless corporate job but thereby having a reasonable degree of financial security 2. taking a risk to do what I've been truly passionate for. Since I don't want to go deep in debt, I have to count on the financial support from these graduate programs (which limited my choices to a few). I did take GRE once earlier this year; I got V165, Q165, AW3.5. My writing score was surprisingly low and I suppose I can still improve on Q. (dunno how good is good enough to receive full package ???) Some background info about me: graduated with honors from a top Asian university polisci major, minor in Japanese Studies Bilingual in English and Chinese, understand Japanese One-year study abroad in Japan Did some RA work under an IR professor who promised to publish my report as a book chapter (on Japanese politics) Senpais, pls enlighten me on what to do next! Thank you all in advance!!!

    HCI. But now I am considering data analytics since I feel business analyst is a more suitable career option for me.

    Sorry I'm a bit confused about this time zone thingyyy. Up till now, I've seen people reported on March 2nd and yesterday. Does that mean the admission office release results once a week? Also, do you mind me asking to which specialization you applied?
  8. meemeee
    I checked the results on this site. I saw one international applicant reported his/her ad.
  9. meemeee
    Are you an international applicant?

    Last day of the week... really nervous, tooooo
  11. meemeee
    I completed my application way before the 1/15 deadline... International applicant with a social science/ humanities background, no working experience. UMICH is the only school I applied to. Heard there is a strong sense of identity and bonding among alumni which is completely lacking in my undergrad school. Really want to go to Ann Arbor, and be part of the UMICH community=.= Gosh anxiety is really consuming my life lately...

    OMG, I'm also waiting for the result..soooo nervousss. anyone knows how big is the cohort size?

    Applied before the priority deadline. Not yet heard anything from the admission office while saw results were out for some of us. I'm an international applicant from a PoliSci+ International Studies background. No relevant research or internship experience in the field. Reasonable GPA and decent GRE scores. Don't know if this means implicit rejection.
