Bowling tonight, so analysis tomorrow with white-russian-induced hangover.

Just don't mess with the Jesus.

[Welcome to the 2011-2012 Cycle]

Congrats! I also applied to work with him, so I would guess that unless I get an email tonight, I'm toast. S'alright though, I think my research is a better fit for Madison anyway. On that note, do you work with West Africa?

Thanks!

He's the director of graduate studies, so he wasn't emailing me as a POI. I actually do political theory.

So don't assume you're toast!

[Welcome to the 2011-2012 Cycle]

It was in the email. Still no change on GATS, which I'd already been checking obsessively.

Hi Everyone,

I'm the Northwestern admit. The email was from Prof. Reno. I expected a wave of Northwestern acceptances to start coming through when I posted, so I'm also a bit surprised no one else has responded yet.

Thanks for all the congratulations!! Good luck to everyone!

[Yale writing sample]

I emailed them earlier this year with the same question. They told me there was no length requirement. Good luck with your application!

[Rec letters: How Many?]

How many letters are most of you sending in? I've seen programs require from 2 to 3, with some allowing even 4. Does it make sense to (assuming the recs are good) send as many as possible? Would there be any reason not to do this?

Thanks!
