Absolutely yes!!170/161 is outstanding.

151/143/5 for a top ten program, nice deal!!!

the higher the better. 3.6 might be a invisible bottom line for a top program..

UVA and Rice are qualitative...you would feel lonely if you play maths or data there...

Strong background. Improving your Quan score up to 158 or more would be more competitive. Try top 10 programs.

if you can get admitted from a top 20 program, go and be successful there. If not, try to find a good professor who actually can help you.

Boston? they just unleashed the first set of offers.

any decision?

UW, UWisc,Umich,UNC,PSU----Quantitative programs

UVA, CU-Boulder

A MS/MA sociology program does not matter

I see. Perhaps a program specializing at quantitative methods may offer SEM.

What is good location? Do u think Ann Arbor is a good location?

One: it is a more verbal program which is on longer prevalent. Sociologists play data and programming now. Two: not outstanding placement. However, this university seems to be very rich...

I had a high Q score and a low V score.

My GRE score is V153 Q 164. Will this relatively lower verbal score hold me back? My area is quantitative methods and demography.

Northwestern U has a joint phd program of sociology and business. you may be interested in that. Here is the link http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/Programs/DoctoralProgram/Programs/ManagementOrganizationSociology.aspx

Hi everyone, I am also aiming to apply for fall 2014. Much of my research falls within the area of demography and quantitative methodology. My LLB is in Sociology, with a minor in Finance. Currently working on my masters program in Applied Sociology. I have been told that contacting faculty members directly to discuss my interest in program is really important. Professors prefer to admit the applicants they are familiar with. Is that true? BTW, does anyone want to apply for Univ. of AZ?
