have these columbia emails come at exactly the same time and the lag is just people posting results at different time or are the mails coming with spaces?

I was admiited to four schools, and was flying from europe. I got the maximum coverage from each schools (around 400$). Together it was enough for the trip. They didn t worry about which flights i spent their money on.

Range of funding for PoliSci Programs

Question: does a summer research award imply that you are expected to stay during the summer? In general, how long time can one spent on a summer holiday? G -

I d add the possibility to try to get something you had writtten published. That s what i did in my gap year and got an r&r which gave a great boost to my applicatuion. Also, i am gonna get off the waitlist at Duke, and probably turn down an offer at mit. Hope that this helps someone out there!

Profiles and Results, SOPs, and Advice (Fall 2012)
bauhaus replied to RWBG's topic in Political Science Forum
PROFILE: Type of Undergrad Institution: shitty public school in eastern europe Major(s)/Minor(s): Economics Undergrad GPA: bot convertable, but mediocre Type of Grad: Economics MA in an OK private, american university in eastern europe Grad GPA: ~3.6 GRE: 162 V 164Q 4.5 AW Any Special Courses: the full MA sequence in micro & macro, full phd sequence in Econometrics + (pol.econ, voting behavior, pol psychology graduate seminars) Letters of Recommendation: had a close relationship with all of them and I assume they were very strong but none of them is very well known. 2 econ profs (PhD Michigan & Harvard), 2 polsci profs, and the former minister for the economy in my home country Research Experience: bunch of research papers, one publication in Electroral Studies Teaching Experience: 2 semesters of teaching in a business school Subfield/Research Interests: methods, behavior, polecon Other: RESULTS: Acceptances($$ or no $$): Harvard PEG (no funding info yet, but shouldn t be a problem), Stanford ($$), MIT ($$) Waitlists: Caltech, Duke Rejections: Yale, Berkeley, Princeton, Stanford GSB Polecon, Pending: Harvard, NYU (assumed to be a reject) Going to: ? Advice: A lesson is that you might have a shot in top tier school even with not so nice stats if you have some sort of extra. In my case that could have been a publication, a lot of independent research and teaching. Apparently fit was also important (even if not the way I expexted): I was rejected by some "lower ranked" schools and accepted by supposedy better ones. -
I am really ambivalent with this. I mean NYU was my dream school (in my dream city) and all along the process i found it impossible not to pick one program that i prefer over all the others (which is admittedly a silly attitude, ex post). also i thought i had the best fit at that department (pol econ, behavior + quant). as I see there is a consensus that harvard-stanford are the places that you are supposed to attend if accepted but still, i think i d turn down both if accepted to nyu. it honestly does not have to do anything with my ego:)
-
Out of berkeley. It s overfor me unless there is some hope in nyu... Is that possible?
-
Rejected at yale and stanford gsb... Their loss:)
-
-
I know its a lame question, but... ...is it considered immoral to attend a visit day somewhere, that you re 100% not to attend (in order to get financial help to pay for flights elsewhere?
-
Rejected from Princeton as well.
-
I also watched it:) Actually, it was quite popular among my peers (born in the late eighties). i loved Linka from the USSR, especially.

Cheers guys, I really hope that you ll have similar luck!
-
I more curious about the reason for the others accepting me. The only reason i can think about is that (and thats what i see in this forum) is that relatively few people applied to quant method as a subfield.

Accepted by Harvard Kennedy School of Government...

Stanford: $29,000/year $3,500/summer (1 year) $1,000 in discretionary funds 5 years health insurance MIT: 22,500/year 2 quarters of TA-ship required insurance I ve never been to any of these places. How do the to packages compare in "purchasing power"? -
