Curiouslyoptimistic

Wanted to contribute over here too. Claiming an Arizona admission. I think Berkeley should be early next week. That's my gut.

Woke up (for some reason this early) to an acceptance from the University of Arizona. Will likely attend.

inwhatway congrats! Were you previously admitted, or did your email come this afternoon?

If you don't mind me asking regarding UVa, were you interviewed before your acceptance? What are your stats/areas of interest?

This is good advice. I think all three of us will hear good news soon.

Sounds like you have a lot of impressive experience! That should def. help offset the GRE scores. Good luck, and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the info! Still waiting then, I suppose.

Congrats SheWrote!!!! Awesome program. Did the acceptance come as a personal email, or did it seem to be one they would send out all at once?

Good luck NewGrad! Oregon has an awesome program, I considered them heavily! What are your interests/stats (if you don't mind me asking)?

I've been following the last few weeks, but would love to join the discussion! Good luck to everyone, the next few weeks are gonna get crazy. Hope you feel better soon Maleficent.

Looks like Texas is moving/about to move. There's one acceptance claimed on the results search. Still nothing here. All silent from Minnesota, Notre Dame, Virginia and now Texas...ouch.

Finishing up my applications as well. Excited to be moving to soc. - moving from MA in political science. I'd like some feedback, if possible at how you think my chances might be at some of the places I'm applying. I suppose I'm a bit self-conscious, like everyone I guess. My "stats" - Grad. GPA: 3.8, U'Grad. GPA: 3.72 Verbal GRE: 164 Quant. GRE: 154 Areas of interest: Economic/Political Sociology - Globalization, Work & Orgs. My List - University of Arizona University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Duke University University of Texas, Austin University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Yale University University of Notre Dame Indiana University, Bloomington Vanderbilt University University of Virginia Florida State University North Carolina State Virginia Tech

Brother (or sister?), go to one of the great schools to which you've been accepted. Nice problem to have.

UW and Irvine look great. NYU is pretty much exactly what i've been looking for, thanks a lot, really great suggestions so far.

Yeah working with Michael Buroway would be a dream. I think I could do really good work there but i'm not sure I should put much stock in my chances of admission there. I've rescheduled the GRE so we'll see how that goes.

Hello all, I know we're in the middle of application season and this might get lost in the hustle, but i'm hoping you could give me some ideas. I am currently in my second semester in a moderately well respected terminal master's program in Political Science and its becoming more and more apparent that the type of work I want to do for my dissertation would be better advised in a Sociology department. I'm interested in emerging forms of labor and their theoretical implications against the backdrop of changing forms of Capitalism (my topic is messy, but interesting, i'd really rather not go into much more detail on here). I am hoping to use interpretive ethnographic methods, but i'm really not opposed to quantitative analysis where applicable. Anyhow, Political Science is absurdly competitive but I was wondering what type of schools I might target in Sociology. Any insights as to some good programs for this type of political/economic sociology would also be helpful. Thus far I've located: UT Austin, UOregon, UArizona, UC Sand Diego, UVA, Emory, and Cornell as potential suitors. Should I begin with this range or should I move to a more "safety" oriented list of schools? Stats: Graduate GPA: 3.77 (should be close to 3.9 by the time of application) Undergraduate GPA: 3.72 Verbal GRE: 161 Quantitative GRE: 151 AW GRE: 4.5
