I think Yale accepts 40 students each year (maybe they put 9 people on the WL)

So here it is… the Yale bloodshed… I'm so sorry for those who got bad news. I think now is the perfect time to make fun of Yale… I hope this makes you feel better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqsTatw-RTI and http://www.safetyschool.org/

Guys… don't panic if you haven't heard from Yale yet. Some professors will contact accepted students today, but most profs are just enjoying their weekend/do not read their mails. You'll probably get the official decision very soon! Congrats to those who have already received their acceptances!

Mix of brutal GRE scores but publication record/WE?
chaetzli replied to CamCanadian's topic in Political Science Forum
I agree with packrat. Your Q score is definitely too low for top schools and if you want to be competitive you should bring it up to 160+. Keep in mind that it is more than just a measure of your "intelligence" (I should say here that I do not believe that it actually measures intelligence or anything that reflects your potential as a researcher). A high score on the GRE can also be a sign of determination - something that is very important for grad school. I had to take the GRE five times (and spend more than $1000 on books, test fees etc.) to get mediocre+ scores (V:163, Q161). GRE score don't get you in, but they can keep you out. Feel free to PM me and I'll suggest some prep books and online resources. -
Hahaha… I know… this wasn't very helpful. I think the GSAS will send out official decisions… and no one knows how long it takes them to do that. For those who haven't seen this yet: http://admissionsproblems.tumblr.com It's the perfect way to distract yourself

They should be sending out decisions soon. But I cannot tell you when exactly. Edit: I really don't know when

Congrats cooperstreet! Great news! You absolutely deserve this!!!

Przeworski? He's not accepting new students.

Happy to answer questions about Yale. -
Congrats to those who got good news from Princeton. I was rejected by them twice and I know how much that sucks... But they have these funny rejection letters where they mix fonts (probably because they copy-paste text from different rejection letters). I'm curious if they will do that again this year.
-
I'm pretty sure they didn't do interviews last year. I got the acceptance without interview.
-
Rejected at UCI, accepted at Yale.
-
I also have a F1, and I can confirm that you cannot get resident status with that visa type. UCSD must know this.

If the person only wrote "Luke": Luke If the person wrote "Luke Fancypants": Prof. Fancypants If neither applies and it is a senior scholar: Prof. Fancypants -> at my school some senior people demand that even the assistant profs call them Prof. Fancypants
-
That's fantastic - congrats! I was strongly discouraged applying to top schools with a Fulbright, and my experience with them was pretty bad. I ended up declining it. Good luck for the next few weeks! I'm sure you'll get good news soon!
-
Is it a Fulbright?
-
You do not really expect an answer to this, do you?
-
Getting a job at SUNY (who cares where) is actually pretty good… and there were many smart people on the market this year who couldn't get a job like that.
-
A friend of mine just got a good job coming out of this program Edit: congrats!

see this:

Don't forget that theorists tend to have low Q-GRE scores. This is one of the reasons why these schools also admit people with scores <160. If you want to do IR you are probably competing with people who have high(er) Q scores. However, I agree with the others and encourage you to apply. Good luck!
-
Wow - great scores. Congrats. No one cares about AW. Just send the 2013 scores.
-
Word.

This is ridiculously high. I had 324 and got into a top 5. You don’t need a GRE score >330 - even for the best schools! Just look at Princeton’s averages: http://www.princeton.edu/pub/profile/admission/graduate/
