Do you mean masters programs that prepare you for PhD applications or pre-doc RAships/fellowships? Regarding the former, there are lots of discussions in this forum on several famous MA programs including Chicago's MAPSS/CIR and Duke's MA. Regarding the latter: there are lots of such pipeline programs in economics but few in political science. If you study political economy and/or are a quant person, you may consider Econ pre-doc programs, but they are not always friendly to students without a degree in Econ/math/stats/CS. You may find the following links useful: Princeton Politics Department's pre-doc program: https://politics.princeton.edu/graduate/emerging-scholars-program Princeton's ESOC Pre-doctoral Fellowship for Data-Driven Research: https://esoc.princeton.edu/about-us/job-opportunities Stanford GSB's pre-doc program: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/research-fellows They have previously admitted a few students from political science, not economics, to work with GSB's political economics group. Stanford SIEPR's pre-doc program: https://siepr.stanford.edu/people/predoctoral-researchers Andy Hall in the political science department has recruited several full-time RAs through this program in recent years.

I am an NYU admit and went to their virtual recruitment events on Friday. More than 25 admitted students were there, and the expected cohort size is 12. Hope this is helpful.

Claiming a Harvard Government waitlist in CP.

Although Stanford's deadline is December 1st, the committee does not start its work until mid December. That's why the graduate program manager allows you to update your application by the 10th. I think the committee did not start working until the 16th last year because the graduate program manager contacted me regarding my missing materials that day.

There is one on the Government results page: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=government&t=a&o=&pp=25 Sorry, I don't know whether this has been claimed here in the thread.

Mine is also working fine and has no changes

Can anyone claim the MIT rejection?

Re the disputed MIT acceptances: according to the results page, the department released acceptances and rejections simultaneously via email in the past few years.

Hey, may I ask what you subfields are? I am also waitlisted at Princeton.

CP/Methods

Claiming a UChicago waitlist. A mass email.

In case you haven't seen it, there is one reply above claiming a Berkeley acceptance in CP.

Also claiming a waitlist from Princeton. CP/methods. Seems like a long waitlist...

Hey, if I am not mistaken, I think that they have discontinued their departmental pre-doc program and will join the university's pre-doc initiative starting from 2022-23?

Hi all, I am an international student applying to political science PhD programs (in the US) this year. I am now doing some last-minute editing of my SoPs for schools that haven't closed their online applications. I have a question about how to address professors in SoPs properly and concisely. I've read some example SoPs by native speakers, but they mentioned professors in four different ways: 1. (no title) full name throughout 2. Dr./Prof. full name throughout 3. First mention of a professor: Dr./Prof. full name; further mention(s) of this professor: Dr./Prof. last name 4. First mention of a professor: (no title) full name; further mention(s) of this professor: Dr./Prof. last name Which would be the most professional one?
