Baylor

So supposedly all the letters were sent out on February 22. I have yet to receive mine. Application paranoia set in, and I took it as a bad sign, until I saw a couple of posts saying that others have had this problem. I called the Graduate School, and they connected me to the Political Science Department. I talked to the department, but they only told me to talk to the Graduate School. Has anybody else had this problem, and if so, have you figured out a solution?

I have yet to hear from them either. They appear to be one of those rare conservative leaning departments and my guess is they are trying to bide their time to pickup applicants who may not get their top choice, but are willing to sub down for ideological reasons.

I did not know until now that Baylor has a PhD program. Interesting. Do you know much about it? For example, how many students do they bring in, how many PhDs do they grant, and what sort of placement have they had?

I am far from an expert; they are pretty open if you email them.The program is new so they have no placement record. However, the program iswell funded and might be a good gateway to teaching at religious colleges.
