Sociology Graduate School Admission Results

The package is strongly based on teaching with around 22k to 24k before tax, and the offer letter can be revised annually. Should reach out to the grad students before accepting. Teaching 2 classes per semester can start from the third year.

Initially rejected, but received the NSF GRFP, emailed the program, and was soon accepted with three years of funding from NSF, and will have to apply for additional funding for the 4th and 5th years.

Well, finally got the email. Generic, without names.

1a/9r/0p. I got an email 4/15 in the morning asking if I was still interested in admission to the PhD program as they were checking in with those at the top of the waitlist (I had not been notified before about being waitlisted or not), and that there may be a funded opening soon. I emailed back right away that I was definitely interested, and this morning I got a personalized email saying I'd be receiving an official offer soon! Later the portal updated with my offer for admission. I feel so fortunate, I had no idea this was going to happen.

1a/9r/0p, got waitlisted a few months ago and then received 3 emails (one through the portal) telling me I was rejected. The first email was personalized and very nice; all of them were warm and polite.

Over the moon ????

Ignore status, has anyone heard any updates regarding the waitlist status? Still waiting on decisions.

IGNORE status. Has anyone received any sort of update? It's been a month and a half since the deadline passed!

Was hoping an acceptance, but perhaps next time still waiting for another decision for this fall from York.

is any one else waiting on this decision? wondering if there is any hope left considering all the "uncertainty" which is becoming more and more loaded of a term

No interview. No communication. Got two rejections on same day. Finally got offer from my top choice.

92/100；IELTS：8；4 papers；30+ awards

Very late considering acceptances were mid-February

I found out I was rejected by emailing the department and politely asking for a status update since my application portal had not been updated. I received an email that said, "All admission letters were sent out 2/12/2025" and that was it. The lack of empathy and professionalism from such a well-respected university is appalling. Do better.

email to check the portal, a gentle but slow update

After being on the waitlist, was informed via email that "in response to the financial uncertainty currently facing higher education institutions, we will not be able to move to our waitlist this year"

It was an insanely late time to announce results, but it was a likely rejection because of the timeframe.

The John Hopkins Sociology PhD program acted in an incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful manner toward me with respect to decision notification. After not hearing from the program for well past their posted results timeline I sent a polite email asking for an update or timeline for a decision. They responded with a one sentence email informing me that all admittance letters were sent out on 2/12/25. When I responded asking for clarification since my graduate portal was not updated and my inquiry was not directly addressed, they took two days to respond with a two-word email: “not admitted.” I still have no update on my graduate portal. It seems that the JHU program cannot be bothered to inform people of their decisions and is incapable of showing remorse or grace—an incredibly low bar that is standard amongst every other program. I am deeply disappointed in the program’s handling of this process. If you are still waiting for your results from JHU, don’t expect to hear from them.
