<p>The acceptance rate this year was around 2%, so yes, it’s very competitive to get into. Political science would be very interesting there, seeing as how it’s in the Middle East.</p>
<p>1- it’s extremely competitive. (189 got in this year out of the 9000 or so who applied)
2- The school is still in its first year, so no one knows accurately how’s the education there. But judging from the caliber of students and professors attracted, the resources available, and the quality of the curriculum they designed, it promises to be excellent. And yes, considering the location of the school, political science would be a very interesting subject of study there.</p>
<p>^ Actually 150 got in.</p>
<p>189 got in, 150 chose to attend. That’s a yield rate of about 79%, another record ;)</p>
