  1. I'll be finishing my Masters this fall
  2. Hi everyone: I'm currently in a PhD sociology program but I'd like to move to another school, ideally UCLA or Columbia. Does anybody have any advice on how that is received by both programs (the one I'm looking to leave and the one I'm looking to join)? Grades, pubs, and all that are good.
  3. I know there are options to appeal the cost of living. Money is the last thing I want to think about while working on this. Something tells me there is a way without having to go to the banks.
  4. I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. I was admitted to a doctorate program and the department is offering full tuition remission, 80% health insurance, and a stipend of 14,000. I noticed on the website that this totals approximately the estimated cost of living in this area. However, I'm wanting to take out additional federal loans (Stafford or GradPlus) to up this stipend amount preferably into the 20-25k range over the year. Is this possible or would I need to seek out alternative sources? Thanks for any replies.
  5. You too sirio. At least we aren't the only ones!
  6. Thanks for the input iphi. I went through this last year as well. Hoping for something for both of us. I'm sure both of us know that we can do this work.
  7. Joining the post here...waiting on 12 applications. Applied to Santa Barbara but have not heard anything. Hoping that more calls will be made but my gut tells me that they are done. No word on the other programs.
  8. Hi everyone: I have a question about my SOP for Sociology programs. Does anybody know if it is better to mention 3 or 4 interests more broadly, or only 1-2 more deeply. My concern is that if I include 3-4 interests that it will look ungrounded or unclear. but if I include 1-2, I feel like I'm leaving major things out. Thanks.
  9. Thanks for the input! I have another somewhat unrelated question. My interests in qualitative sociology include deviance and the new age movement. However, much of my academic background doesn't speak to these issues. Do you think these programs will have a problem with this? The way I see it is that these are my interests, and even though my transcripts may not show it, I need to be honest with these programs. Thanks again.
  10. Hi everyone: I'm going to be applying in 2012-2013 for Sociology PhD programs. Can someone list some strong qualitative programs in the US? I'm thinking about applying to approximately 10 programs. Thanks for your help!
