This information is so helpful for future applicants. Thanks very much, Realist. Would it be possible for you, or someone else familiar with Chicago, to define "narrower heterodox vision of what political science should be..." in just one or two sentences. Is this Chicago's generally qualitative approach or the fact that there are numerous hoops to jump through and that the program often takes many years to complete (which are things a current student mentioned to me), or something else altogether?
Regarding comparative at Chicago, they have made a number of hires in this past year. Do you see a gradual strengthening in comparative, or is this still up in the air? Thank you again.
