Out of curiosity, what is the average expected salary of someone as a professor in political science?

It depends, really. Location (higher COL=higher salary), prestige/competitiveness (Harvard would pay more than UMass-Boston), and funding levels (state vs. private) can all play a role. On a broad scale, you can probably expect 45-65k, but that is 1. highly variable, and more importantly 2. contingent on actually getting a job, which it in and of itself is tough to do.

That's about right for new assistant professors, per the ASA (though I suspect salary increased over the past couple years, and salary isn't equivalent to compensation)

Delaware waitlisted. If you have offer from Delaware but will go to another school can you decline Delaware offer?

Thank you

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Northwestern? Obviously there's not a chance that I'm getting in at this point, but I still wish that they would just reject me... Tried contacting the graduate program coordinator and no response.

Waitlisted at UW-Milwaukee. If anybody has an offer elsewhere and is not intending to go to UWM, I hope you could decline soon. Thank you. I truly appreciate it.

Is there someone who is waiting for the decision of UCSB? 

My understanding was that the process had some hiccups, but I heard back from UCSB over a week ago.

I talked with the office and apparently the admit decisions were supposed to go out earlier than they did, but there was a communication error that delayed sign-off by the Dean's office.  Admit day is April 6th, so if you have not gotten a rejection it might be worth calling/emailing.  My conversations with the grad assistant Carol were pleasant and informative.

Did you get a phone call or get an email or message from the univ? Can we get an acceptance letter in April?

I got an email with a offer letter.  My actual status on the UCSB portal did not update until days later.  Regarding later acceptances, I am not sure and it was not something that I asked when I called the department for some other clarifications.

The univ. confirmed that I am on the waitlist. They decide to torture me again.

The application process is quite the stressful marathon; hang in there!

I received one from Delaware with $20,000 in the first year, since I had also been admitted by Korbel, I will decline this offer, hope this would help you.

Congratulations!

I also have a funded offer from another school, but I would rather go to Delaware if they accept/fund me.

I do not know how they deal with waitlist in Delaware but let's see. Fingers crossed

I hope they give an answer before April because I want to respond another school.

Thank you.

I also received an e-mail said I was on the waitlist, luckily I already have better option.
