By the way, when I say rejected, I mean REALLY rejected. As in they would rather sacrifice their first-born child than fund my dissertation. I have a feeling that they only sent obvious top-of-the-pile and bottom-of-the-pile notifications this quickly, and if you're in the middle of the pack you might have to wait longer. Good luck!
Any news here? I'm curious if anyone else applied to the October/November deadline for sociology. The panel supposedly met on December 12, so when do you think notifications might go out?
