  1. apologies to bring this old thread to the light again... well, i've been just told acceptance to GWU phd program. and as i have little other alternatives in this difficult year, my decision is either yes or no to GWU. (i declined admissions from a couple of other lower-tier programs). i've said i'm interested in 'ipe of security in east asia' at my sop, but given the faculty's strenghts, i'm thinking of re-directing my research area focusing on something about US-China. but, as an international applicant, i have virtually no information about the univ itself, reputation etc. would it be worth going? what's their phd program like? (they mention all the good things about their program at the website, but it's difficult to compare with other comparable programs.) are faculty members friendly to graduate students? any comments would be greatly appreciated. many thanks in advance.
  2. Although I'm also waiting for MIT and GWU (received rejection from Chicago today, and didn't apply for GT), my guess is that MIT is out given the acceptance posting this year as well as the record from last year. GWU, on the other hand, sent acceptances in the mid-March last year, so I'm less pessimistic (but more nervous!) about GWU. Another result I'm nervously waiting is USC (the POIR). Has anyone heard anything from it yet???? I've applied for 17 schools, and these are my last hopes...
  3. i haven't heard from MIT either, but since i'm at overseas, the (rejection) letter probably is on the way here... losing much hope this year... only left with GW and USC(is it out yet?). with a scholarship and three-year experience of lecturing, i (mistakently) thought that i have strong credentials... well, c'est la vie! btw, would it be wise to take a master's course or reapply for phd next year? generally what do people do??
