I’m interested in getting into a Ph.D. program in political science, public policy, public affairs, history, and sociology/psychology. I have a GRE score for Quantitive is 162, Verbal 167 and Writing 5/6 and a GPA B+/A-. I’m interested in B10 schools and other good schools.
This question is not really possible to answer with the information provided.
Your doctoral program choice should be based on your academic and research interests. In order to choose a program, you look at what kind of research the professors there are doing and who you would like to work with as an advisor to help you do the research you want to do. For example, when I was going into PhD programs, I was interested in the relationship between mental health and HIV risk behavior in African American populations, so I looked for professors who were doing research in related areas.
I’d argue, actually, that you’re not really read to start considering programs yet, as you need to narrow down what you want to study. While all of the fields you are considering are social science fields and have some shared research questions, the approaches and methods are all so different. While I could conceivably see someone with well-defined research questions considering, say, both psychology and sociology programs - or perhaps even both political science and history programs - I can’t see someone with well-defined research questions and agenda considering both psychology and history programs. The research questions and methods you’d use are SO different.
IMO, there are two things you need to consider when selecting a discipline: 1) what research questions do I really want to answer? and 2) what approach do I want to use to answer them? A psychologist and a sociologist can both investigate mental health and HIV risk behavior in African Americans, but they are going to have different theoretical frameworks/orientations to approach the problem, and they are likely going to use very different methods to try to answer the questions.
What is your undergrad major? That is important, too, because you need the foundational training to get a PhD. If you wanted a PhD in history, for example, need the equivalent of a strong minor in history at least (and a major would make you stronger) plus reading proficiency in at least one language that would be useful for your research (so, if you were interested in ancient Indian women’s culture, Hindi or Sanskrit might be necessary).
Also, do you have any undergraduate research experience in any of those fields?
Your GRE scores are the least important part of your application. Yours are sufficient to get you into the kinds of programs you want to get into.
