While I don't have experience dealing with graduate admissions phone calls, I do have experience receiving similar calls. All of these calls occurred during business hours. Messages are good thing, but usually require you to call back. Individuals and institutions are wary of leaving information on a voice mail. I don't see why graduate schools would be any different.

The group allows for a more focused discussion. It also has a database that lets users see applicant information in a coherent format. Check it out here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/polisciapps/

Maybe that professor was trying to recruit you?

That may be true, but I'm still surprised. I don't think of Miami as a national university by any stretch. What rankings are you looking at, exactly? Most Ivys are in the top 20 or so.

Texas is your safety? I was under the impression that Texas has a very strong and competitive program. Also, I'm still in disbelief that Miami of Ohio has a Ph.D. program.

Does Miami of Ohio have a Ph.D. program? If so, really?!

I guess I should reply to my own post. Applied: Princeton Berkeley Yale Penn WUSTL Michigan Emory Duke Chicago Texas - Austin Field: American Subfield: Public Law

Starting a thread. Feel free to post info on schools as well as where you are applying.
