Hello all,
I am a bit unsure about the type of program I should be going for, but I am interested in comparative. I want to get into a top 30 program but don't know exactly how high I should be applying and my adviser has not been of much help and most of my professors graduated ages ago. Right now I am looking at a Fall 2020 start. I am graduating this year and will be working for a year in between.
