<p>I'm appyling for Fall 2010, and was just wondering the stats of people who applied this year or who are expecting to apply in the fall? </p>

B.A., UCLA (Polisci & Comm double major, graduated in 3 years)
3.8 GPA overall / 3.95 in Polisci major
MSc, London School of Economics (MSc in Politics and Communication)
Probably graduating with Distinction (highest mark) (<em>knock on wood</em>)
Lots of research internships, one academic publication. Working for an elected UK official right now.
No GRE scores yet.</p>

<p>Schools looking at (lots of reaches right now): Stanford, Princeton, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, MIT, Northwestern, UCSD</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Also planning to apply for Fall 2010.</p>

<p>Research interests: nationalism & imperialism; nation-building; nations in conflict; altruism in foreign policy</p>

<p>Currently at University of Cambridge (Middle Eastern Studies)</p>

<p>GRE: 1570</p>

<p>Looking at: Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Yale, Chicago, Michigan@Ann Arbor, Ohio State, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, NYU (way too many reaches there and not enough realistic ones, I know…)</p>

<p>Good to hear from anyone else applying for Fall 2010.</p>

<p>^ Are you getting an MPhil or your BA/BS at Cambridge?</p>

<p>Good luck to you… hopefully I can half as well on the GRE! (well, not literally, but yeah, haha…)</p>

4

<p>I’m doing my BA (or MA as it confusingly is called in Cambridge - but it’s a first degree).</p>

<p>As weird as it seems to me, coming from the British system, to go straight from a BA to a PhD, it seems to be the common path in the US. (Although I’m sure your MSc won’t hurt!)</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

5

<p>I’m also applying for Fall 2010. BA Honors in IR from Rollins College. 3.85 GPA. Honors thesis awaiting publication. Have not taken GRE yet.</p>

<p>Research interests: political theory; American political thought; human rights; comparative theory</p>

<p>Looking at: Cornell, Michigan @Ann Arbor, Northwestern, Minnesota, Princeton, UChicago, Brown</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
