I wasn't knocking theorists. I like them. He/she asked why they got less money. I pointed out the answer.

$1,800 is good. I'd expect higher. That must be a suite.

UCLA is right next to beverly hills and belair in a very expensive part of LA.

UCLA notoriously gives low-ball funding packages.

Has anyone contacted NYU, Northwestern, or UNC to see what they're up to?

I meant leopard sharks (harmless bottom feeders), not tiger sharks (scary jaws). Oops!

Have you guys and gals checked your Duke application? I'm still not showing anything.

Call call!

So, for everyone else that is feeling like crap for not getting an acceptance today, this is what happened last year: UCSD: Accepted everyone at once. We're out of luck. Berkeley: Let in a batch on Feb 7th, rejected on Feb 12, then let in another two on Feb 28th. Cornell: All at once. We're out of luck. NYU: Accepted in three waves.

Congrats to everyone that got into Berkeley. Amazing school and amazing funding package. Your careers are now supercharged!

Psilar. On Cornell, Email from a prof or some kind of automated thing? UCSD is much better anyway. Congrats again!

Two cornell people now (search Government).

Cornell? Details please.

Ugh, even someone that thinks UCSD stands for San Diego State University got in, but not me. Ha.

Ugh, more NYU huh? I'm wondering if they're doing it one by one or if they emailed everyone at once...hrmn.

Any nyu info?

Congrats psilar. You're nailing em. Have you been to UCSD's campus? It is beautiful. The library looks like something out of star wars. It is also right by the beach and several places where you can snorkel with tiger sharks!

Damn UCSD and NYU today. Unexpected. I guess looking at last years dates didn't really help... UCSD and NYU folks...could you please state your subfield and if you received the formal email or informal email from a prof. Thanks.

Anyone else informed by NYU?

21 schools? Impressive.

I thought the same thing. It could have resulted from the area studies vs generalist divide within comparative. Some departments have hangups on area specialists. Unless I'm mistaken, Yale isn't known as one of the area studies schools (like Chicago, Michigan, Berkeley). I suspect she/he'll be getting into a slew of places very soon.

Yah whats up with Duke...five rejections and then nothing for the rest of us.

Haha, classic!

Left - I can see how an MBA would make for a good fit, especially if you focus upon political economy. In my poli sci PE courses I've read a good deal of articles from business and management journals. There are some good literatures available to business-oriented folks like yourself within poli sci. The most glaring example would be the comparative capitalisms. If you're open to tapping into other social sciences, then you're set. literature. You can make it work.
