mwash Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They sent me an e-mail about an hour ago. I don't know much about any of these schools though. Maybe you all can help me out. I do theories of IR and security, so is Chicago the best choice for me at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwash Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I researched their programs when I applied, but in terms of prestige, job-placement, and quality of education, I really don't know much. Lately I've been looking at rankings and talking with professors, but I get a lot of mixed feedback. Just wanted the opinions of some of the veterans on this board. And I am basically a realist.

yogimoney Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi yogimoney... if you do not mind, could you tell us know what your concentration is? Hi Upenn, I applied in Comparative to some and Political Economy to others...for me the differences between subfields are fairly elusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technocat Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 no... What's your subfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montage Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 What's your subfield? I applied as comparative, but I want to switch to methods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliscidude Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So....anyone know if Chicago sends out notices in waves? Otherwise I guess I'm out of running. Still haven't heard definitively from UVA either. grrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark25 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So....anyone know if Chicago sends out notices in waves? Otherwise I guess I'm out of running. Still haven't heard definitively from UVA either. grrrrrr If they have contacted their waitlist students already, I am assuming they are done then. But then again, I can be wrong.

jimcompx Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Dear mwash, Of your accepted list (Chicago, Duke, UCSD, Berkeley) Chicago is, I believe, leaning more towards constructivist work as of late, although some have told me that their program is kind of in disarray. I talked to some students there last year who had some real horror stories. UCSD has a very good reputation as a stats oriented comparative school, as does Duke and Berkeley. As far pursuing a realist research agenda, I would think that Duke would be the best one. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
