any5 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 It appears that many of us will be potential cohortmates. It may be a nice idea to coordinate meeting up with each other on visit day(s) so that we at least "know" some people there. Maybe post on this thread your planned visit days and then we can pm each other to coordinate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingin6789 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Delaware - Feb 22-23 Boulder - March 4-7 Davis - March 10-13 Eastern Sociological Society, Boston - March 17-20 (not a campus but still, figured some of you all might be there) NC state - March 24-26 (NOT official visit weekend!! I can't make the official one due to ESS) I would be at the Rutgers visit on March 3rd, but I likely have to Skype in because travel via public transportation (I don't have a car) cuts to close to my March 4th flight/visit.

I'm going! The travel agent things is super simple. Waaaay better than when schools do reimbursement. Shoutout to Penn State for also using a travel agent. I think I'm going to go to every visit I've been invited to except Washington and Austin (conflicts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sociology767 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice! I'm looking forward to it! Was there an option to drive, by chance? I kind of wanted to linger and check out places to live if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlights: travel agent will auto pay flights around 350, rest will be charged to you BUT northwestern will reimburse you another 350 or so if necessary. If you aren't travelling by air the max reimbursement is 300. Grad students will host sociology767 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem unreasonable. Wisconsin cohorts are larger than average. Anyway, it's not as if all 40 are necessarily going to accept their offers. I don't know what their yield rate is, but it could potentially be as low as 50% (or possible even lower). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
