Hello everybody,
I am currently in my senior year at a British university, was admitted for a Masters in IR and I am toying with the thought of doing my PhD in the US instead of Britain. I am primarily interested in the application of social constructivism to IR, like so many, but I have heard that many US universities are quite sceptical about it because it is less quantitative than rational choice and similarly dull theories. (Not that I would write that in a SOP ) I would like to know whether there are certain universities that are outright hostile towards or uninterested in people who would do that kind of work, I could safe myself the trouble of applying. I am aiming at grades that are pretty close to a 4.0 GPA, I will have a summer of relevant research experience when I apply, I wrote a senior thesis and will have written a masters thesis and my GRE result according to the ETS Powerprep thingy might end up being 1500. All suggestions are welcome.
