  1. Peace, No rejections so far. Accepted to Ohio State and interview at Emory. Super excited, and definitely sigh of relief! 2 down, 6 more to go...
  2. @FertMigMort: I have a few questions about the application process. 1) Is it important that all three LORs come from a professor? 2 of my LOR are from professors (one undergrad, one grad - master's thesis), and my third LOR is from my direct supervisor. I have been teaching full time for four years since I graduated from undergrad, so getting a LOR from all three stages in my life made sense. Should I get an LOR from another professor instead of my supervisor? 2) How important is research experience in any field? in sociology? I have very little experience conducting research as it took me quite some time to settle into what career I wanted to pursue. 3) In general, does early submission matter, or are all applications typically viewed at the same time? 4) If you had to estimate, what would the average cut off GPA and GRE scores be for most top10 programs? top 20 programs? Thanks for all the info you've provided so far, it has been very useful, and I hope you are able to answer my questions.
  3. What are some of the schools you are interested in applying to? Btw Johns Hopkins and Emory are my top choices.
  4. 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
