I'm not sure if you're the same guy that asked this on reddit, but regardless, they haven't sent out acceptances yet. Not every school interviews and some schools that do interview still accept people who have not interviewed. So you're fine so far. I wouldn't start to worry until you see multiple acceptances go out.

Has any one heard from Texas A&M? I see 2 acceptance posting (one claiming the decision was made the 7th), but my portal remains unchanged. Thanks

I'm getting married on Jan 10th, so that certainly been a distraction. Definitely wouldn't recommend simultaneously planning a wedding and applying to PhD programs to anyone else though, I didn't think that one through. I am now playing catch up after not paying attention to the cost of flowers and linens for 3 months.

I think this is normal because political science as an academic field can be incredibly broad in spots. I applied to 9 poli sci programs and 1 international studies program. I found myself tailoring my focus based on department fit. For most schools I was theory/American. But there are a few that I leaned American/Comparative. Theory is dwindling at a lot of programs, so I made sure to highlight my research in other Sub-fields in addition to my work in theory. I think versatility is a good thing as long as you don’t seem indecisive. Unless you seemed really unsure in your SOP, I don’t think you’re doing it wrong.
