Dear all, I was off waitlist and got admitted to TAMU with full funding yesterday. Thrilled ! For anyone who is on the waitlist and still waiting for good news, I hope my case can give you some hope.

Applied to Duke too, but hasn't got ant news about interview......

I studied at Georgetown University and I wonder that if the Asian studies certificate is helpful for an academic(pursuing Ph.D.) and non-academic jobs or not. Thanks!

I'd love folks' thoughts on the Georgetown Department of Government. I applied (and was accepted) to the Master's program. I haven't found much on this program on the boards, though that may be due more to my poor search capabilities than anything else. I have been interested in the department since I was an undergraduate student, as my background is in democracy and governance and Georgetown offers one of the few masters in the subject. I know little about its reputation though and won't be able to visit campus before making a decision. I would welcome any thoughts on the program, especially on reputation, typical career path for Masters candidates in the program, pros and cons of such a small program, etc. Thanks!
