Here to claim another CUNY acceptance! Was interviewed last week and asked about whether I intended to continue working part time during the PhD. I was awarded only the tuition scholarship in my acceptance letter today. Excited to attend the admitted students events and go from there.

As someone who also somehow missed the NYU double-spaced requirement and submitted a 1.5 page, single-spaced SOP, feeling pretty glum.

Hello Sociology forum, I am currently entering my third year of law school at a top-5 university. I'm interested in applying for PhD programs, most likely in Sociology, yet have never taken a Sociology course. In undergrad at a small liberal arts school I was a Religion major but also graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. My questions are: What should I be considering when thinking about Sociology as a field? What should my expectations be with regard to top-30 universities for PhD programs? I definitely need a fully-funded program. One of my career / research thoughts is to study criminology and criminal justice from a sociological standpoint. I have done work in this area in law school. Another possible area is urban planning, which personally I think is connected to our current criminal justice system. Re the GRE: I took it five years ago and got 163, 163, and 5.0. Is this decent enough for the elite spots? Particularly when I might not have much publication/research experience? Bottom line: am I positioned to be at all successful in being accepted to a PhD program? Thanks very much.

Hey, I am beginning to look into sociology PhD programs (currently entering my third year of law school). Where should I go to find the list of the best programs or to obtain more info on various programs?
