Ironheel!!

Great, but the topic is rejected offers for waitlisters...where are you turning down to go to G-town?

I was told when I was accepted. It was in the letter.

Accepted as "alternate" for funding. I'll keep you in the loop if I hear anything.

Ithink the key to this is "of mutual interest." The department wants you to succeed, they will not put you in a position where you will fail. I bet you could tailor some research for a seminar paper that would satisfy research/work requirments for the project. I think it may be poorpractice to turn down money in grad school, even at Princeton where the funding seems quite generous.

52 million say bears shit in the woods.

BU sounds pretty good. There are still pockets of inexpensive rent in Boston in good neighborhoods if you take some time. Also, you can work with John Gerring, who in my opinion, seems like a pretty cool cat!

Anyone else still waiting on schools?? I've yet to hear from Brown and Temple.

I'll throw two: Adorno: Most likely to be taking classes outside the political science department (Critical theoy!). April: Most likely to develop the future "universal" application for political science Phd programs.

Hehehe!

umm, I thought Obama took over the auto industry so would't that mean he owns all of them? Or does it mean that the Obama Comintern does?

I'll raise you to 99%. A slim plurality (I'm really hoping Ron Paul gives it a go as an independent).

I think Kaptur is more than worthy, Kucinich is the by-product of redistricting.

I have to disagree (from my experience at least) I have a graduate degree and have found that those chatting about theory or their own special research interest will drive you bonkers not a topic such as an election that is understood by all subfields and really should be by any poli sci student who is an American.

So Super Tuesday has come and gone and Mitt still has yet to win the hearts of the republicans, but more importantly, Dennis Kucinich no longer has a Congressional Seat! This is a true tragedy for the marginalized voice of peace and justice in our national politics! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/07/us/politics/after-ohio-primary-kucinich-loses-seat-in-congress.html?_r=1&hp

I'd agree with the LSE call except that if you want an academic career, you'll obviously need the phd. It appears that many have transitioned (improved their lot as they say) to better ranked programs after LSE. Arizona's not a bad place, but if your in for the gamble of applying again, I would think LSE would help. Also, just out of pure self interest, are you on Uconns Alternate funding list?
