  1. i think this is the number of matriculated students but not the acceptances. They aim for around a cohort size of 10-12, and send admission to more students each year (changes but around 20-30 for the last two years). they also openly share their admission stats: https://gradschool.duke.edu/about/statistics/all-departments-phd-admissions-and-enrollment-statistics/ edit: wanted to add also that they seem to accept some also without interviews, according to the results of previous years here.
  2. Duke contacted through email for a short chat about the program with two professors I have suggested to work with. Political behavior
  3. Hi dear PolSci forum, I am an international applying to US programs this cycle, currently completing my SOP. I am having a hard time thinking about some details. My areas of interest in the widest sense include political psychology and public opinion with diverse quant methodology (eg. text-as-data + survey). I have some connected research projects in mind which I can fit into one broad research question, and which I believe are enough for the construction of a strong SOP. However, I am hesitant to write a region/country where I want to specialize since (1) I am not definitely sure about them (for example text analysis allows me to work either in languages I know or with texts translated by humans at least), and more critically (2) if I am to write a region, some schools where I have good fit currently do not have professors specialized in those regions. I think specifying a region would lower my chances in those schools, but I also feel like I need to include one. Can I propose a broad question and rely more heavily on the methodological and theoretical contributions I am planning to make instead of explaining why XXX region is an interesting case, or should I take the risk and specify a region or a comparative case?
