I think photography can be a powerful addition to sociology. Are you familiar with the subfield of visual sociology? You might want to check out the website for the International Visual Sociology Association (http://visualsociology.org/) or just google "visual sociology" for more resources.

YES! I just saw it! IT'S HAPPENING!!!

On last year's thread, someone posted at 9:09am that they saw the "maintenance" notice. (It was the day before the results were released.)

So, does this mean that I could wake up at 5am the day after the maintenance message appears and see my status? Of course, it's not like I'm so eager to know that I would do something crazy like that... I'm just curious...

FertMigMort - thanks so much for generously answering our questions! I have a couple to add: 1. How much does the prestige, ranking, or basic name recognition of the undergraduate institution come in to play? Specifically, are students who graduate from mostly unknown state schools at a disadvantage compared to those graduating from a well-know school/program? 2. Did you encounter transcripts for students who had completed their undergrad on a part-time basis? If so, how was that perceived?

Thanks, socgrad2013! I'm glad to hear that the visit is a few weeks away. I'd love to be invited to it.

Hey, folks. Is NU having a visit day for admitted students? (I'm on the waitlist.)

I emailed them to inquire about my application -- rejected

I received an official notice of my rejection, but it was only after I emailed to inquire.

I'm still waiting. And still hoping for a second wave!

Try this one: https://gradstatus.northwestern.edu/index.php

Tennessee's application deadline was Feb 1, and their visit is Feb 14-15! That's definitely not typical -- 4 weeks seems to be the average -- but it's not unheard of to give two (or less!) week's notice.

Folks who applied to Brown or Michigan State - Are we able to check the status of our application online? I have one link for Brown (http://www.applyweb.com/cgi-bin/ustat), but when I log in, it simply confirms that all of pieces of my application were submitted. I don't see anywhere noting my application status... Thanks!

What??? I just started accepting the fact that I was going to be rejected. Let the roller coaster begin again!

And right after I posted that another Berkeley acceptance appeared in the results...
