frankentheory Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm in the comparative subfield. Don't think it was a blast email because I received it some time after someone reported an email acceptance on the results board. and thanks! Congrats!!!
PhDhopeful2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 claiming a cornell acceptance...very nice email. Congrats!!
doctoralgrad23 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 What were you looking to study at binghampton. Came soooo close to applying. Went with Albany instead. Looking for IR.
Savage Henry Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 To those admitted to Vanderbilt, congrats! Do you mind saying what your subfield was?
USCoregonian Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Does anyone have concrete information on when the 'big four' Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and Yale will make a decision? Stanford has said they'll have decisions (a big reject for me) out by the 20th
aulait Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Oh dear oh dear, that's two for Cornell IR on the board! I mean, seriously, congratulations guys, that's wonderful news! It also means I'm going to be glued to my computer refreshing my email for the rest of the day.
AmericanQuant Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Stanford has said they'll have decisions (a big reject for me) out by the 20th Did you contact them recently, or is that just a blanket statement they've made in the past?
USCoregonian Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Did you contact them recently, or is that just a blanket statement they've made in the past? That message was updated in my application this morning. Your application has been submitted electronically to the Department of Political Science. Do not be concerned if your application status is "incomplete." Unless you heard directly from me about missing materials, you can assume that we had everything we needed to consider your application.

Thank you for your patience.
scanthiliad Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Stanford has said they'll have decisions (a big reject for me) out by the 20th since they usually send out acceptances a few days prior, i wonder if that means they will have acceptances out on the 20th with rejections coming out later, or if acceptances will be out a few days earlier with rejections coming out by the 20th... don't mind me. just obsessive musings in my anxiety-ridden boredom.
doctoralgrad23 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Friday will be a big day.. What is your subfield MarketMan? your list surprised me actually:)
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Random Question:Lets say you want to work for the State Department or Treasury in an international role (not necessarily foreign policy), do you think that is more International Relations or Comparative Politics?
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 What is your subfield MarketMan? your list surprised me actually:)Comparative Politics as the main. Either IR/Public Policy for a minor or second major..Feel free to message me if you would like a more specific answer
Mnemonics2 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Random Question: Lets say you want to work for the State Department or Treasury in an international role (not necessarily foreign policy), do you think that is more International Relations or Comparative Politics? I'm really not sure you want a PhD in Polisci for that unless it is in public policy or from a DC school (or similarly policy-focused institution). But a regional comparative focus could let you land a gig in particular State offices and IR with a disciplinary focus on something like proliferation or development might (if practical enough (not theoretical)) get you the same for those offices. Treasury might be possible with an American focus that includes trade theory or something, but an economics degree is probably more up their alley.

Wemayet Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I will say, though, for anyone considering a MN admit: 1) Winters blow. Truly. 2) Minneapolis is maybe the best city in the country for grad student living. The cost of living is lower (far lower) than any major media market I can think of. But the arts and food scenes bat way above expectations for the size, and the economy is white collar, so there are a fair number of interesting, attractive 20 and 30 somethings meandering around. +1 for you sir. This is the best endorsement I have yet to read about U of Minnesota... sounds like it's right up my alley.
Littlej8 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 What were you looking to study at binghampton. Came soooo close to applying. Went with Albany instead. I'm looking at Binghamton for American judicial politics
student90210 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Disappointing season so far... Cornell is out and I didn't get the email. Same goes for Maryland (still have some hope although) and Austin.
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Disappointing season so far... Cornell is out and I didn't get the email. Same goes for Maryland (still have some hope although) and Austin. Keep ya head up
q&a Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Disappointing season so far... Cornell is out and I didn't get the email. Same goes for Maryland (still have some hope although) and Austin. Cornell's acceptances look mostly IR....so I'm not giving up hope yet
ThisGuyRiteHere Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 2 of my main schools committees are meeting tomorrow..I will be a nervous wreck through class tomorrow :/

You may submit only one application for admission to graduate study per academic year. For information go tohttp://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/gradadmissions "
