  1. Also, this might be a good place to brainstorm questions for meetings with faculty and current students. What are you all planning on asking about during visits?
  2. “The tuition in pounds is more than I weigh and I’m a hefty bloke” is golden.
  3. They might be spreading things out over a couple days, so I wouldn’t lose hope yet. Calling each admit personally takes time. They said the emails will go out within the next couple days.
  4. Yes—I figured it would be more useful to people scrolling through political science results rather than putting it under government.
  5. I think Chicago already went out
  6. what. So it might be two weeks before The System tells me my fate? Nooooooo
  7. Alright fellow nervous wrecks: this is our week.
  8. Agreed—I’m sure my compulsive email refreshment anxiety is not healthy.
  9. Perhaps we can report those posts or get the mods involved somehow? They’re ruining the results page and it’s not like there nowhere for discussions.
  10. Wow, that long for Penn? Anyone else feel like a lot of schools are on a much later schedule than usual this year?
  11. Agreed on that last point--Penn is one of the last couple I'm waiting for, and I'd just like to be done with the waiting games one way or another.
  12. When have Penn results gone out historically? Are we expecting them this week (apart from weather delays)?
  13. I don’t know much about Vanderbilt, but Notre Dame definitely has a very strong reputation for Latin America
  14. I don’t have an answer for you but it’s comforting that others share my dilemma. I ignored one and feel okay about it.
  15. I'm just curious: what do you want a Ph.D. for, career-wise? How do you see yourself using a Ph.D. in Political Theory?
  16. Just curious: where do you all think is the best place for civil conflict now? Top three?
  17. Cool. Feels good to be nearing the finish line, either way.
  18. So I’m still waiting on Yale, Columbia, and Harvard. What are my chances of hearing something before the weekend?
  19. Ditto. Disappointed, but wasn’t expecting to get in anyway.
  20. Additionally, if you’ve been not receiving acceptances, this could be a big reason. If you indicated in your SOP that you don’t intend to stay in academia, then you likely won’t receive much interest.
  21. Hard to say because I’m not in that marketplace, but I’d imagine it matters to the extent of name recognition. Maybe more so for think tanks because they try to keep one foot in academia. I would imagine it matters less than if you were looking for a tenure track job though, as long as you develop the same skills. Non academics are less obsessed with “pedigree”.
  22. Wow. I’m really curious about what’s making your app stand out so much. You’ve been killing it out here.
  23. Ranking is a pretty big deal is this particular situation. Wisconsin is pretty highly ranked so you’ll have a leg up on what’s really a terrible job market (assuming you want to stay in academia). You’ll have a very difficult time getting a job coming out of UCI. While some things at UCI might sound better for the next 5-7 years, think about what’s going to help your career the most.
