Does anybody know about the PhD program in Poli Sci at Syracuse? While they have a stellar reputation for their terminal master's degrees, I'm not sure how the doctoral program measures up. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or impressions on this. Thanks!

I'm also on the hunt for this information. The NRC rankings seem vastly different from its rankings elsewhere, I don't really know what to make of it.

They just said that all offers come with funding and that they'd be giving more details next week.

Claiming the Syracuse post from yesterday.

I think they meant "immediately" upon making the decisions... which hasn't happened yet. I emailed Tina directly and she said they expect to make offers the first week of March, or at the very latest at the beginning of the following week.

I did, however, have a good friend who suggested that when I go running, I imagine myself stomping on the faces of the people in the admissions committee. Somewhat more helpful.

"You know, you never know what you're going to do. My brother couldn't find a job after he got his MFA, and he ended up driving a truck for a few years. You know, truck drivers make a lot of money." That wasn't even sarcasm. That was an attempt at making me feel better. What?

"Thanks for applying" - I don't need to read the rest. Fuck you too, ad comm.

Thanks! Danny's got a very stereotypical "woof", and a rather piercing one at that. He's 14 and still acts like a crazed puppy most of the time, so I think (and hope!) that he's going to be around for a while longer.

I got my first rejection letter too. I know exactly how you feel, but you've applied to a lot of places, and at the end of the day you only need one acceptance.

"You Keep Me Hangin' On" (The Supremes) For those "implied" rejections (when everyone else has been notified but your inbox is still empty)..

This is my Border Collie/Sheltie mix, Danny. He's a control freak too, so I feel like on some level, he empathizes with me. However, he gets to bark out his frustrations, whereas I do not.

One of my friends got waitlisted last year for her top choice program and got in the morning of April 15..

Who else has one? Inbox is barren Dusty spam in the archives Grad schools are fickle Each morning awake Is there news from the adcomms? Anguish in waiting Just how many times Can I refresh my Gmail Before suicide? Ring tone blares from cell Wildfire inside of stomach Despair: is only mom. Ground teeth down to nubs Hairs not pulled out have turned gray Ad comms: in or out? New email appears Admission granted with funds! Safety school: thank you.
