Who Knows Masters Programs Still Accepting Applications!!!

[bioo]

I already received two rejections from the PhD programs I applied to, one of which was a fall back option for me and they even rejected me. WHo knows and can suggest programs (preferably on the east coast) still accepting applications for masters!! I need to start applying to them. Thank you!!!

It's not East Coast, but California State schools might still be accepting applications (if I decide to apply to a California State school, the deadline for some programs is April 1st).

I see that you're in Political Science, but we might be able to give you more informative answers if you describe your interests / subfields. Are you interested in Political Science MA programs as preparation for PhD programs, or would a policy-oriented program (like an MPA) suffice as well?

Depends what youre looking for, but I keep getting emails from Columbia about their MA in Climate and Soc. Deadline is March 17th.

Thanks for your replies. I'm interested in MA in Political Science as a preparation towards a PhD

Pretty sure the University of South Carolina is still taking apps. Not sure where you want to be or the caliber of school you're looking for, though.

The University of San Diego is still taking apps for their MA in International Relations.

Okay, thanks a lot. San Diego is a bit too far but I will look at University of South Carolina

You might also look at Villanova and Northeastern's MA programs.

Yeah thanks! Coincidentally, those are the programs I applied to. I'm currently waiting for their decision.Do you have any idea what their acceptance rates are like?

By the way, you got into very exceptional programs. Do you mind sharing what you think gave you the edge?

Different fields have different definitions of "the edge."

Depends on the program I think CWRU was accepting until April or May

Lcydubloon is spot-on here. Other than generics (have stellar LoRs,  polished writing sample, cohesive SoP) I'm afraid that I'm not very familiar with the process of applying for a PhD in political science. Best of luck to you, and you may find better guidance in the Political Science section of the website.
