Yeah, UCSD asked me to do this too but for their MIA program. It was last month though, but I didn’t apply to the political science PhD. It was the GPS one

They also called advisors PIs which is kind of sketch

Nevermind lol

An admissions person emailed me directly to move my application to a different program. My status on the website hadn’t been updated yet or anything.

I am the person with UCSD denial. I definitely got denied from their GPS Political science program. The lady’s email made it sound like the political science ones were still under review.

Hey sorry to be the newbie, asking about their stats. I have been preparing my application for the next cycle early because of all the virus stuff. I was hoping some one may have some general advice for me. Here are my stats. Public School top 50ish, BA Political Science (3.85) BS Physics(3.2) 3.6 GPA special coures: calc 3, diff eq, honors quantum, honors electro magnetism, two r/stats political methodology classes, three other stats classes NSF Fellowship leading to a co authorship on a paper in resilience decision making will soon be published in a pretty decent journal, helped a professor program a R/mathematica Bootstrap monte Carol simulation, and helped with some black transnationalism research. GRE 159V, 165Q 4.0 AWS Coached and did Debate through college, have programmed a couple apps and websites Studied Chinese at a university in China for a semester after college had to flee though because of the coronavirus. I'm somewhere between hsk 4 and hsk 5 right now. I have a writing sample I could go with, but I am thinking about writing a new one because I have the time and so its more relevant to what I want to study. Should I maybe retake the GRE? I wanted a 167 on the Quant would that be worth it? Also the writing section was pretty low. I only have one great letter from the NSF, one good letter from another professor at the NSF project, and one just from a professor I took a couple of classes with. Any advice or anything else i could do in the next seven months to prepare for the applications? What do my chances look like for top 10, top 5, top 3 programs. I don't know too much about the process. I would appreciate any feedback anyone could give me
