[Sociology prof who will answer any question about grad school applications]

It's probably the same committee members reviewing both types of apps, so I don't think there should be major differences between the two. The only thing is that for a masters I'd emphasize your personal narrative a little more, while for the PhD I'd emphasize research experience, interests, and career plans.

[Sociology prof who will answer any question about grad school applications]

Hi all,

 

I'm a sociology professor who's served on 8-10 admissions committees over the years, and have had several undergrads and masters students go on to fully funded PhD programs. I made this offer in the reddit gradadmissions subreddit last week and got a good response. So I'll do the same here: I'll answer any reasonable question related to graduate school applications and admissions. 

 

If you want to check my academic credentials, I'm here: http://unt.academia.edu/gabeignatow

 

Best of luck!
