Major (MES) gpa 3.96, 0a0w2r1p, I am not sure if this is the right path anymore. In shock, but I get it that a lot of applicants are highly qualified. Many had a MA degree in the Middle East already, I think I will be applying to schools in the Middle East now. rn 4th year MES major, a couple grants, one departmental award, provided a writing sample that engages historical primary sources in one middle eastern language. Non-native speaker, studying in one of the UCs. Two year arabic, three year ish Persian.

Whatever. GPA is grad. No email.

AMO-exp. Undergrad in Engineering. 2 years research experience, no pubs. Interviewed Jan. 26, didn't go particularly well.

the head of the department called me directly!!! i got the email/portal confirmation a day later

Ignore Status. Any word from Harvard, Columbia, Rutgers, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Boston University?

The happiest person in the world today!

Got a zoom call and I'm in!!!!!!! Comparative politics.

SM-80 program, expected rejection. Anyway, I got admitted to JHU MHS Epi, so I am OK now.
