sociologygrad

Actually GMU had already sent notification couple weeks ago. Or at least I received an offer couple weeks ago.

Please don’t say that. I am sure you are a wonderful student. Your worth is not determined by a Ph.D. program, and you can always try again. Maybe this happened for the best. I know many grad students who are very unhappy in grad school, and not everyone who made it is deserving. I am sure you will do great in whatever you will do in the future. *Hugs*

Thank you! Many of us really needed this.

I will eventually. I just wanted to see what people have to say here first. I think people will be more honest here.

So, I got accepted to few programs, and while I am attempting to narrow down my choices, I figured I would ask for opinions here. SUNY-Binghamton, University of Utah, GMU, UCR, University of Oregon, and Boston U (most likely). Does anyone have any info about what kind of culture these departments have? Are people (student-student, and professors-students) there competitive, helpful, etc.,? While, funding, fit, goals, etc., are important, I also don’t want to end up in a department where people hate each other. You can’t get this kind of information from the schools’ websites, so I figured I would ask here. Thank you J

Don't panic. Everything is going to be okay.

I need Boston U, GMU, and Utah to talk to me. Sick of waiting.

Same here. I am looking for any advice regarding the housing situation in the area. Off-campus, graduate student friendly area (no or few undergrads), walking distance, nearby restaurants, cafes, etc., and of course, a good price. I know that I am not going to get everything on my wish list, but I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions. Or if someone is looking for a roommate.

Political Economy, theory, and globalization.

Any news from Boston U?

Just going to leave this here. Have a good day. http://www.slate.com/articles/life/education/2015/02/university_hiring_if_you_didn_t_get_your_ph_d_at_an_elite_university_good.html?utm_content=buffercf3ee&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

I am going.

Thank you . I couldn't handle the waiting, so I just emailed and asked. They told me I was admitted and they will send more info soon.

It seems that some people had already heard form them (both rejected and accepted). My status still says pending, whatever that means.

Thank you for the info

Boston U, UCR, Binghamton, UofOregon, Toronto? Any news? Anything? *Sigh*

I am sorry to hear about your rejection , hand in there. How did you know about their decision? Did you email them first? My status still says pending.

UofOregon already rejected someone? Did anyone else hear from them?

Hahah. I love this.

UCSD is killing me. What the hell are they doing? Sending one letter at a time?

Thank you!

CONGRATS! I haven't heared anything yet from them, and my app still says "Under Review," so, I was just wondering.

Did anyone hear from UCSD?
