  1. I honestly don't mind being inappropriate or distasteful (I have my own ideas about those words, but NBD), and I probably do have a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, I have to agree. But I wasn't trying to insult anyone's intelligence/capability/professional potential, I was merely saying that I think sociology doesn't give race enough credit. Granted, now that I look at my post it does seem a little catty, but what would you expect from someone who did undergrad in Ethnic Studies/NAS? And although word choice doesn't seem like a big deal to you, expressions, present and past, are taken very seriously in ethnic studies because it is often what is considered "normal" that is the problem.
  2. Man I love questions like this! And what do people mean by "card" anyway? Like it is just something that is pulled out when we need it? Like it doesn't effect our lives at all? You should make a great sociologist!
  3. You are right, we all hope for diversity. However, I do not think that one's race or ethnicity is considered during admissions, UNLESS that individual's experiences can add to his proposed field of study and/or his own research. Furthermore, where is this department where African American students are the majority? If you are refering to African American Studies departments, then it depends on the department. Does the dept support objective research or subjective research? It all depends on the department, and whether or not the individuals reading your application think that ethnicity has any relevance.
  4. Game on! Although, if I followed this I would probably drink myself to death before anyone accepts me....after which of course I would probably get accepted by my top choice, lol.
  5. I got 650 Q and 540 V. I'm not too worried about it, the verbal is lower than I would like, but I'm not going to sit around trying to memorize words that I don't use, and that my profs didn't use, when I can be spending my time attending conferences and trying to get something published!

    History 2010

    AmHist2010, I too am interested in what 19th century subject you are focusing on. Did you get a phone call from a potential advisor like rockchalk? I got a phone call, but the prof said that it was a very competitive year, and I haven't gotten an email yet, and, yeah I feel like I'm going to throw up from the anticipation.

    History 2010

    I'm doing 20th century US/military history. Applied to 15 programs (only have 3 more to complete! I'm so tired).
  8. I haven't gained any weight (I don't own a scale, so I'm just going by how tight my pants feel...although I have been wearing the same pair for the last 3 days, since there is no point in changing when all I am doing is sitting at my desk obsessively revising my SOPs and sending reminders to LOR writers...). I have been waking up in a panic lately, though. I also wake up about 5 times a night starving b/c I keep forgetting to eat during the day and I feel dizzy a lot.
