[What is the best poli sci Ph.D. program to study Marxism and critical theory?]

The New School faculty are pretty much only teaches along that spectrum. You could check out NSSR and Milano though NSSR is better structured and more rigorous

Did anyone hear anything from them?

I contacted my POI today and introduced myself (yes, yes, I didn't reach out before), and I basically told him I am interested in working with him.

He replied after 10 minutes asking: "Are you attending Wagner sometime soon?" When I said that I'm still waiting for an answer and that in any case, I'm going to do my PhD at New York (the city), he said: "Ok. Can we check later in the semester. I'm in the midst of non-stop travel and not in NYC much this month."

I guess it's a bad sign, not sure though...

Btw, my application status still says "submitted," and when I called admission to ask about my "Application Verification Letter," which I never received, they said that they had received it...

Have you only applied to programs in nyc/heard back from others? I didn't apply to wagner but have yet to hear back from Columbia or Milano so I'm guessing that's a no.

Haha I hope you hear back from them soon. Fingers crossed! In the meanwhile, will you be there at Rutgers admitted students' day?

Yes, you? I guess if you're already at school there 

Enjoy USC! The weather should be a pretty big draw

I got rejection from Berkeley yesterday and still haven't heard back from UCLA. I know one person who got waitlisted from UCLA yesterday, so it means rejection i guess lol

How about you?

I wanted to stay in the NYC-area so only applied to schools nearby. I haven't heard back from Columbia or The New School. I'm assuming that means no to Columbia. For TNS, they said to expect to hear from them "in the next few months and at the latest" in May! Not great for their yield I would imagine?

Congrats - I heard yesterday as well! What are your concerns? Or to put it another way, what concerns am I not noticing? ?

Hi, Actually, I got my masters from Rutgers. I don't know if you interested in the master program or the PhD, but for the Masters, they have really great program. Like you mentioned, being one of a couple schools located in the East coast, it has geographical advantages and our alums are doing great. For the PhD, it is a good school too. We have excellent faculty members, great researches. 

I heard back from Rutgers yesterday, and got into their program. So now, I don't know what to do haha

Thanks for responding! I meant to mention that it was for the Planning/Policy PhD program at Rutgers Bloustein (not sure what the diff is)-- did you get into the same?

Hi, I applied for UCB UCLA USC UCDavis PDX Rutgers Georgia Tech

I heard back from USC and UC Davis, but haven't heard back from UCB and UCLA. Seeing that a couple of results came out from those schools, I guess its an implicit rejection. LOL

Glad that I have to options at this point.

Do you know anything about what the Rutgers program is like? I'm curious since it's one of the few non-west coast schools on your list. I applied and haven't heard back yet but wondering what it's general reputation is. Thanks!
