To everyone applying, aim high. Many people don't give themselves nearly enough credit throughout this process.
-
Magoosh has a good online practice portal, as well. Lot's of practice questions, and they give you a mock score as you go, which serves as a pretty good measure of your progress.

Accepted my offer to UW-Madison. Feels good to know for sure where I'll be.

Just found out that I'm apparently on an unofficial waitlist.
-
Good visitation day I thought. I met lots of interesting people that were just plain old pleasant to talk to.
- Palito and socscholar

Just curious if any other admittees are going to the visit day on Friday. Has anyone made a decision one way or the other?
-
The vague possibility of "unofficial wait lists" and the like notwithstanding, this is shaping up to be a very, very easy decision. Anybody got a lead on a 1br pet friendly apartment in Minneapolis?
There are lots of apartments or rooms near campus available as it gets closer to fall, and if you sign in June or July (even August) they're generally a little cheaper. There are also new, highly overpriced, apartment complexes popping up all over the place that should actually make getting a 1br in an older building or even a room in a house a little easier.

Was wondering the same thing. Personally, I'm in no rush to decide. I don't see much of a reason to make a decision between places I'm seriously considering until early April.
-
May I ask how you were notified? For instant was it a POI or standard department notification?
Congratulations!
I got a phone call from the DGS. And thanks

I'll claim one for Vandy.

Have I heard wrong, or is sociology of culture on the rise (compared to where it has been in the past)?

Slow day today...

Has anyone been formally rejected from Minnesota yet? I know many folks have reported acceptances - and congratulations to them! - but my on-line application status still says "awaiting program decision." If applicants have been rejected, then perhaps I'm on a wait-list; however, if no one has been rejected yet, then perhaps they have just yet to notify their rejections of their status.
My application now says "Under final review." I'm not too optimistic with this one. Poor fit.
-
When did Madison rejections go out?
-
Any word on Wisconsin? It looks like they sent a few out last night, but nothing so far today.
-
Cornell.
Wow. My brother is applying to MFA programs and he has to deal with acceptance rates like that pretty much across the board, but that's pretty low for a sociology program.
-
Did you email them?
I got an email from a sociology advisor. I've only seen a couple on the results page, so I'm sure they aren't done sending them out yet.
-
Waitlisted at Michigan.
-
Ugh. I know. He made it an explicit point to state that my application was extremely strong...and that they only accepted 6 people (3% acceptance rate) from this year's pool of applicants. I'm 0/2 out of a total of 8 (also rejected from Princeton, like basically everyone else on the planet).
Someone needs to start a VC fund that backs travel or pharma-related coping mechanisms for all of us from mid-Jan until mid-March.
Which school was that? Just curious.
-
Any idea when Vande typically notifies?
-
Nothing yet. Based on past years it looks like they decide closer to the end of February.
Anyone apply to UConn or Brandeis?
I was told by someone at Uconn that decisions would come out shortly after the deadline, which was Jan 15. We should be hearing back soon.
-
Has Madison sent out acceptances? I didn't apply. I'm asking for a friend.
Nothing on the results page as of yet...
-
There are now 4 posted acceptances. Bummin' hard.
Make that five.

Wisconsin. If you're interested in environmental sociology, you need to apply to Wisconsin.
