I am wondering the same.

Just received a Johns Hopkins Rejection AP

Due to my financial situation, I took the last 3 years to try and earn some money before going into a PhD program so I would say reaching out to your government officials for temporary or volunteer employment may not be a bad idea. My volunteer position lead me to a full-time job offer after only 2 months. I heard from PoI’s that my experience in legislative politics strengthened my application and I had the opportunity to earn money, learn more about applied politics, and be exposed to numerous research opportunities. This may be more relevant for US based folks, but I am sure that other country’s legislatures face similar problems of too much work, not enough staff, and an extremely high turnover rate.

Rice. I am really happy with it, but I am waiting to see if I get any other offers!

I just found this forum recently and wanted to say congrats to those who have recently been accepted! I have 1 admittance and 1 rejection and I am anxiously waiting to hear from the other 4 schools I applied to.
