The disbelief still has not left. Happy to have received PhD offers from Oxford, Cambridge, Johns Hopkins, SOAS, QMUL and Bristol. After much consideration, I have decided to join DPhil in International Relations at Oxford as a Radcliffe scholar.

Life Update📍: jubilant to note that I have been awarded a scholarship by London School of Economics
@LSEnews
to pursue MSc in International Relations (Research). Not an individual triumph by any means, but a collective effort by so many loved ones to push me across the line.

In what has been an absolute shitshow of a year politically and personally (as if they are separable), some respite.
I have completed my Master's in International Relations from LSE with Distinction. It was beyond my wildest imagination to achieve it when I began my degree.

You could not miss Mukul's classes regardless of which department you were from. Being in Ramjas means being mesmerised by his teaching and tales. I'll feel fulfilled if I can even share an ounce of the same zeal with which he approaches teaching and his discipline.

Excellent advice for prospective applicants!
I am happy to review any documents required for an MA/PhD application in the US and UK until Aug 20. Please read this thread carefully and reach out for any specific feedback via DM.
1) When she approached me for guidance last summer, she'd already picked & researched her course & knew it inside out, including what scholarships it's eligible for.
This is something you guys have to do on your own. I cannot help with this. Please dig into all relevant webpages

The realist school is known to draw heavily from Hobbes and Machiavelli. In this essay for E-IR, I examine the criterion for interpreting Hobbesian political thought, specifically his work Leviathan, as a precursor to classical realism and neorealism.

Immeasurably grateful to closed ones. It's not a peronal victory by any means. This simply wouldn't have been possible without their unflinching support. From thinking all is over to being helplessly ill in LDN, this is a testament to their generosity more than my capabilities.

First person in the family to receive an english education. First person to speak english. First person to do a masters, let alone from abroad and, that too, LSE. A dream come true. Have come a long way but as H. Bachchan said, "Arey abhi toh milo mujhko, milo mujhko chalna hai."
