I really thought this was a good fit for my project! (2a/2r/3p)

Did anyone else receive an email from USC? Or is the post below just another joke?

Stanford offer is real, I also got one, same financial package

Can anyone else confirm if the Stanford soc admits are real? A stipend of 47,000 looks really suspicious to me--only b-schools have that high.

TTPB: Thank you! The email was from the chair of the admissions committee. Standard funding package was offered which is $47,000 for the first full year without teaching responsibilities, including a summer RA-ship. All quarters of year 2-5 and three quarters of year 6 (without summer) also guaranteed.

Congrats to those admitted! Who did you receive the email from? Funding info yet?

For those who have been admitted into the Sociology Ph.D. program at UofT, when is the deadline for you to accept the offer? Thanks in advance and congrats!

Graduate Committee at Stony Brook is meeting next week, decisions to follow shortly thereafter. So I'm guessing we will be hearing the week of 2/15...

I received an email from a prof who I have had email interactions with, prior to admission, and who I believe is my best fit. Also, received an email from grad advisor who said the official email with funding is coming on Monday

So excited! I submitted GRE scores but I'm pretty sure we got an email that said they weren't looking at any GRE scores.

1r / 6p (two aren't sociology) This is my first round, completing MS in related field. Reading over forums on this post, it seems like many people who are rejected are highly capable people who are passionate about doing research. What if we all got together and collected our own papers, with no profit motive? It would be difficult, but why not continue to pursue research on the side? Why does this feel like “academia or bust.” We don't need to dance for these schools ✊

so happy, did not submit GRE!

To the poster below, my status is also written as Under Review. I am an international student with the highest degree from outside of the United States I am so nervous about the results, however, I am afraid rejection is coming :(

Anyone heard back from SUNY?

Waiting on funding

Very competitive this year. Good luck to everyone else!

This one hurt. I thought this department was probably my greatest fit of all apps. Best of luck to everyone.

After two interviews (that I thought had gone well), I received an email informing me a decision had been made and to check the website. I knew immediately what that meant...With many departments having closed admissions for this fall, that makes competition even tougher. Add to that the fact that many departments have less funds available, forcing them to reduce the number of offers they can make...well it makes for a rough ride for many of us. Makes me wish I would have applied to more than 11 schools, lol...Good luck to everyone! [0a/2r/1wl/8p]
