Looking into IR focused PhD programs and trying to figure out which departments are strongest. Particularly interested in international security and conflict studies. My background is polisci (MA from a decent school) with some quant methods training. Programs on my radar: Harvard (Gov), Princeton (Politics), Stanford (Polisci), Columbia (SIPA/Polisci), MIT (Polisci), Georgetown (Gov). Would love to hear from anyone in these programs or who went through the application process recently.
