Aunuwyn Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I just learned that individual packets are being reviewed by the committee as of Wednesday and decisions will roll out as the committee decides, so expect to hear back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladedodaday Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 What field are you interested in studying? Looks like someone posted an acceptance! Craziness. It seems a bit early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunuwyn Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I wonder what particular fields those persons who have been accepted to are involved in? I applied trying to do work in IR and methods since its a very quant heavy program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied trying to do work in IR and methods since its a very quant heavy program. Hmm...I'm kind of skeptical of those results. They just started reviewing last week I doubt if they are already sending out acceptances. I would take those results with a grain of salt.

Aunuwyn Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 For reasons of mental sanity I would like to believe them to be false, but looking at last years results people started recieving acceptances the Wednesday of this week. That and I was told they would admit people as they reviewed the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladedodaday Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am not applying to TAMU, but if it's the same as last year, they sort of drip out admissions. I wouldn't worry if you haven't heard yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many they accepted last year? I looked at their website and a lot of the current grad students are on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those guys have been ABD or full PhD's for a while. I don't want to name names but I took undergrad classes from some of them and that was a while ago. TAMU takes about 12 to 15 people a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone else Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have applied for IR and methods and have yet to hear a word. I have emailed the grad. secretary but have yet to receive a reply. (It has only been a day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone else Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 When you check your status online, do any of you have anything different than "Political Science will contact you if any additional departmentally-required materials are missing from your application for admission."

Nope, that is exactly what I have. I kind of wish it would go ahead and update, but I am just paranoid like that. I am betting that the department will wait until they have a batch and do them all at once. I will let you guys know if/when it changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone else Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Only the IR and methods faculty. I am also hoping to focus in IR and methods, specifically poly psych and decision-making. What are your interests in the fields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunuwyn Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Excellent, we are on opposite sides of TAMU's specialty in IR and Methods. I want to work with formal modeling and statistical analysis to look at political economy as a determinant or factor in interstate war. I also want to look at economic coercion. Now any TAMU adcomm reading this knows exactly who I am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
