quesadilla

I had one like that, as well. I was sitting in a classroom at Harvard and listening to a class on Marx, Weber, etc. But, I am 99.9% sure that I got rejected

Same ugh, it included like a named fellowship and everything

I had a dream last night I was accepted to Harvard which means my brain is cruel to me

I’m not sure if this is helpful for those reapplying but I’m really realizing the importance of connections. The two schools I got into both have professors who were in my recommender’s cohort, one he went to for undergrad, and I got waitlisted where my other recommender went. Don’t be afraid to ask your recommenders or other mentors to reach out to their colleagues when you apply! Emailing professors at schools yourself won’t carry as much weight as a colleague telling them to keep an eye out for your application. And it may not hurt to consider where your professors have connections when deciding where to apply. This isn’t to say that this matters MUCH but it might matter ENOUGH when admissions committees are looking through hundreds of stellar apps and trying to decide between two great students. Obviously don’t apply somewhere that’s not a good fit just because your thesis director knows the DGS.

I haven’t researched Vanderbilt but I think ND is great with the Kellogg Institute and a really robust faculty. At least five or six solid LA CP profs. Doesn’t hurt that Mainwaring is coming back from Harvard too.

Notre Dame has Perez-Linan and Coppedge now and Scott Mainwaring will be returning next year. Seems like a no brainer for me...

Has anyone heard about funding packages from UT?

Whoever was asking about ND theory admits, I have a friend who got accepted for theory the same day I did for CP. I feel like you see less theory acceptance reports because there are less theory applicants and maybe they’re less likely to post online.

Not at all, just really a big fan of the word "y'all" and decided to jazz it up. Totally unrelated to anything political science, but English really lacks a formal "you all" single-word and it really pains me. I could use "everyone" but that's too many syllables and feels impersonal. There are regional varieties like ya'll or youse or yinz and things like "you guys" but these are all problematic in their own ways. 

Sending good vibes for those last 3. Here is my cat in a cone of shame for your enjoyment

UCSD comparative. Very excited. For those who don't have an acceptance yet -- don't lose hope. You only need one.
