Here is a link about the difference between a theorist and a pizza: http://www.poliscirumors.com/topic/whats-the-difference-between-a-theorist-and-a-pizza-4 Here is another link on whether it is crass to order steak cooked beyond medium-rare: http://www.poliscirumors.com/topic/why-is-it-considered-crass-to-order-steak-cooker-beyond-medium-rare I realized that I haven't had quality sleep lately. So take care guys and stay positive. Hope a few goofs and gaffs help you through the day. This is funny! Because I avoid it at all costs!

buckinghamubadger Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Because I don't think that there are enough easily accessible resources to us aspiring Poli Sci PhDs, when this whole process is done, I want to post a PS PhD starters pack of sorts with links to useful resources that are already out there (such as NRC, US News and Oprisko et al rankings, the PhD stipends website ect.), as well as a significant amount of data I collected such as the required/recommended/average GRE and GPA for every school I could find it for, the maximum amount of MA credits the 40-some programs I looked into and anything else I may have lying around. I also want to include my methodology and perhaps other folks' on how to determine research fit and how to estimate placement rates. If there is any additional info that you wish you had easy access to before applying or anything you think could help those who come after us in general please shoot me a PM. politicalsciencehopeful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckinghamubadger Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah, I have probably about 30 to 40 schools. I don't want to post them all right now, but if you want to know a specific school I might be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skhann Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 @Qw23 also didn't get the email yesterday. If he hasn't got it yet then I am beginning to think there was some kind of long short list made by U-Minn. Otherwise, you might not have gotten it due to some server issues. The email was very generic and sent indirectly (through the ApplybyYourself portal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when I contacted the graduate coordinator for some issues in December, she told me that decisions would be sent out in the week. So, at least, they already planned to make decisions in the week in December. Thus, I think we do not have to give so much meaning to the generic email.

RCT Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eESJd_pC5uo&t=1009s Too late for this season, obviously, but Simon Jackman has good advice here regarding political science admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutsch1997bw Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm curious if decisions will be sent out by Minnesota before the week of the 19th. The only reason I wonder about this is because a former POI at Wisconsin told me that it would take them a few weeks to make decisions. I found out 1.5 weeks after he told me that.

PoliSci-freak Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Don't think too much about Wisconsin. From internal knowledge, I can tell you they always complete the admissions process before their semester starts (this year it started Jan 23, usually around this time).

izmir Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Joining everyone else here. Haven’t heard anything from Northwestern yet. Kinda surprised because I thought I was a good fit but like always you can’t predict results. They are IDIOSYNCRATIC ? Hamb and keceli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMCrawfordNJ Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Take this for what you will but UCLA just finally attached my GRE scores to my online file. Only took 2 months haha. I guess they are making progress. We'll get results by August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
