I am still waiting on schools, but making the choice will be very hard. Looks like you have some great options, though.

Still nothing on Wolverine Access for me. Did just get an acceptance email from USC, though.

If I am yet to receive an admission email from Michigan and there is no link on Wolverine Access, should I just write it off?

Nothing yet for me in wolverineaccess either.

As a Cambridge man, i would say that it is a serious one! :wink: No, seriously, I would just extrapolate from your previous year's exams.

Not yet.

Let me know what she says. I am still in 'pending' limbo too.

Of course, liberal=uppity! Family dynamics are inevitably complicated, but the only advice that I could give is to have a conversation about why you care about what you do. Try not to lecture but let them have your save while you convince them that you are doing this because you are genuine about it. Good luck!

I did an MPA at Brown, so happy to advise if people want to ask questions. In general, though, I would very much recommend it.

Yeah- I think that it does depend on country/area of interest, to a large degree. Would be nice to know, though, which schools are considered good for Africa, South Asia, Russia, Europe etc

When's USC due? Damn I hate waiting...

Yeah, I don't think anyone here would have any interest in upsetting anyone, so perhaps we should just all take a deep breath before leaping to conclusions. Anyway, how about them Red Sox, eh?

Easy, tigers.

Congrats!

Watch 'Drunk History' on Youtube?

In the same boat with UVA still.

I still have not heard anything from UVA.... :|

Cambridge is great fun. It is a privilege to study in those surroundings, regardless of where you've been or where you are from. If you live in college then rents are subsidised. London is easily accessible. It isn't a big 'clubbing' town (you have London for that) but it also has VERY high quality theatre, college dances, every different college has there own subsidised bar etc.

I got that email too.

I did my undergrad at Cambridge and then went onto Brown for my Masters and this strikes me as very correct. Certainly British undergrads are a lot better read and can write a lot more coherently/elegantly. While they do dig deep into their own subject in the UK, it is true to say that most of my students who did English Lit could have a coherent political philosophy discussions or discuss film or art etc. Equally, us political science types had at least some appreciation for the literary canon (although it is funny how differently composed it is across the Atlantic).

I know that it is not exactly the same thing, but are there profs at NW in other departments who you could also collaborate with?

Got an email saying that I am in at UT-A. Putting together funding package and will let me know. Website status unchanged.

I should think so!

I just wish that UVA would put me out of my misery.
