I am applying to PhD Sociology programs where I hope to focus on the sociology of education and racial stratification. I have a BA in finance and Africana Studies from UPitt, and a MA in Secondary Ed. I have been teaching for five years, and decided to go back to grad school so I could pursue a career as a Professor. Not sure if its just me, but the process of figuring out where to apply is confusing.
I scored in the 80th percentile in Verbal and 81st percentile in Quant. My undergrad GPA is a 3.4 and grad school is a 4.0. I have narrowed by list down to the following schools based on location, program, interest, and fit:
Indiana University, Johns Hopkins, UIllinois @ Chicago, Emory, Princeton, UMichigan, Temple, Vanderbilt, Loyola @ Chicago, and Northeastern. Not sure what my chances are, so any help or feedback is appreciated
