Hi, sorry I can't help you with your question. But I am also very interested in the program you've been accepted. Would you be kind enough to provide some of your background information? I don't have any idea what kind of qualification bar Uconn is looking for. thanks!

I see.

Could be true. I'm seriously considering if I am really suitable for PHD in Political Science too. My current master's program in international affairs is pretty professional-oriented, like many others of its kind. But I do have the desire of furthering my studies into a PHD level in this area.

You already have a MA in political science? And still applying for another MA in the same area? I was researching their website, they have a PHD program in Political Science, and also another PHD program in International Relations, which seem to be in totally different colleges. I don't see many threads here regarding AU.

Guys, is American University being somewhat neglected here? Anybody considering their PHD program in Political Science or International Relations? Their ranking isn't that impressive, but I believe being in DC is a strong advantage. What do you guys think?

Hm... I might consider my plans. Math isn't really for me...I ended up doing a language major study at undergraduate was pretty much because I didn't want to take any math courses...after high school. I'm really passionate about international relations, politics, NGOs...that's why I have the intention of doing a PHD in political science.

well, I might give up TAMU, because I contacted a professor who is also a program director over there, he told me they only like accept 10% of all the applicants, and they really focus on quantitative and statistical methods, which might NOT fit me since I came from a language studies background, and I really really hate maths...

I have no idea...I'm currently a student at Northeastern doing my master. Did you hear from them yet?

IS THIS TRUE? OMG...I'm a little bit overwhelmed, TAMU is really one of my dream schools, and...I have pretty low GREs!

Hi guys! I'm in the middle of my master in international affairs right now...considering doing a PHD in political science afterwards...TAMU is attracting me a lot. I don't see a lot of discussions regarding this college though, so I am kind of curious to ask, if anybody has heard about anything about how difficult it is to get in the PHD program in political science at TAMU? thanks a lot guys!
