Kevin's Philosophy, Politics, and Economics major at Penn is essentially political science with the analytical rigor turned up — every course demands connecting political institutions to economic incentives and philosophical justifications simultaneously. That training means he can walk a student through Rawlsian justice theory one session and pivot to analyzing congressional committee structures the next, always tying concepts back to the bigger arguments a course is actually testing. His 34 ACT reflects the verbal and reasoning chops that make dense political readings more manageable.

Parag is finishing a Political Science degree at Northwestern, where he's spent years digging into comparative government, international relations theory, and policy analysis. He breaks down frameworks like realism vs. liberalism or the mechanics of legislative bargaining in ways that make abstract theory concrete and applicable to coursework.

Most political science courses ask students to do two things well: analyze political institutions and write persuasive, evidence-driven arguments about them. Samuel tackles both — his history and linguistics background at Harvard means he can unpack concepts like political socialization or interest-group theory while also sharpening the analytical writing those courses require.

Understanding political science means learning to think systematically about power: who has it, how they got it, and what constrains them. Noah earned his political science and government degree from Penn, where he spent four years dissecting topics from democratic theory to policy analysis. He connects abstract concepts like legitimacy and institutional design to concrete examples that make the material stick.

Margaret is pursuing her political science degree at Stanford, where she engages with everything from democratic theory to comparative institutions and public policy analysis. She breaks down dense readings on topics like voter behavior, political socialization, and constitutional law into clear arguments students can actually use in papers and discussions.

Jeff earned his degree in Political Science and Government from Washington University in St. Louis and is continuing into law school, giving him a deep command of democratic theory, comparative institutions, and policy analysis. He unpacks dense readings — Locke, Tocqueville, rational choice models — by tying them to real-world political outcomes students already recognize. That ability to bridge theory and practice makes complex frameworks like federalism or pluralism far more intuitive.

Lyall earned his political science degree with honors from Brown, where he dug into democratic theory, institutional design, and comparative political systems. He unpacks dense concepts like federalism, political socialization, and public opinion formation by tying them to real-world examples students already recognize from the news cycle.

Elizabeth's academic career went deep into political science — a bachelor's and then a master's focused on comparative government and Chinese politics specifically. She tackles everything from democratic theory and institutional design to policy analysis, and she's especially strong at teaching students how to construct arguments using political science frameworks rather than just opinion.

Currently studying Public Policy and Economics at the University of Chicago — a program that treats political questions as problems to model, debate, and test against real-world data — Ethan is working through the same kind of institutional analysis and policy reasoning his students encounter in political science courses. His 1550 SAT reflects the critical reading and argumentative writing chops that make a difference when students need to unpack a theorist's claims about state power or draft a persuasive policy brief.

Understanding political science means learning to think in systems — how institutions constrain behavior, why coalitions form and fracture, what makes policy stick. Isaiah tackles these frameworks by grounding abstract theory in specific case studies, then walks students through writing the kind of structured, evidence-driven arguments the discipline demands.

Studying political science on a pre-law track at Vanderbilt, Kit digs into the material that drives most intro and AP-level courses — constitutional interpretation, federalism, civil liberties case law, and the mechanics of how policy actually gets made. Having served as a TA for a college-level history course, Kit connects political theory to real historical context in a way that makes concepts like judicial review or the commerce clause click rather than feel abstract.

I am highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.
