For help with the admissions process, in implementing our procedures, and allowing us to experiment on them, we thank Amanda Hurd, Mary Jane Carty, Chris Willemsen, and the faculty members of the past several admissions committees. We also thank former Dean Brendan Maher, former Government Department Chair Robert Keohane, and Graduate Admissions Officer Dee Blackman, for funding and staff support; Josh Blatt for his usual computer wizardry; and Mitchell Duneier, Claudine Gay, John Fox, Robert Keohane, David Lublin, Robert Putnam, Paul Quirk, Katherine Tate, and Celeste Wallander for many helpful comments.
