  1. Check the Interdisciplinary Studies section for the MAPPS discussion
  2. I started hearing back from MES MA applications last week. The results so far - a win (Chicago, w/ 1/3 funding), a loss (Harvard), and a draw (UTA). Still waiting on news from Arizona, G'town and AUB. Even if I go 0 for 3 on the remaining apps and don't get in to UTA I'm thrilled to go to Chicago, but does anyone know if UTA delves into its waitlist pool? And on that point, how much agency do I have in this position? I remember hearing/reading about how to get off a waitlist when I was applying for undergrad but that was a long time ago. Generally speaking, is letter writing/visiting/calling de rigeur, and is it likely to bost your position? If writing a letter, would it be good form to mention an acceptance at another school or not? Thanks and good luck to all who are sweating it out.
  3. I have an interview in Beirut for the CMES Masters program in a few weeks....and I have very little tangible, specific intel about the program. Can anyone with first-hand experience help me out? Something as basic as a faculty list and their specializations would be a great place to start. Shukran!
  4. I would love to hear what you have to say about UAB. I'm looking at the CAMES masters for fall 2012. A friend of a friend who did poli sci there in 2004 emailed me saying "Though I have heard that since then the political science/CAMES department has imploded and that the quality of the teaching staff has declined significantly". Strong words. What's your take? Thanks!
