Hey all. UCLA grad here. We've been receiving emails about hosting students to the degree that it wouldn't make sense to keep on admitting more students into the program. So, I think it is safe to say that all those who have been admitted, have been.

yes we offer subsidization.

sounds fucking good, man. congrats

you should probably look at UCLA as everything you listed is the strengths of the department.

you have to be invited first! I know that they've already had some people there a couple of weeks ago. But don't worry, some people don't get interviewed and get offers. You can PM me if you want to know more about how Yale works.

UCLA is the place to be for the study of language. The department developed and continues to pioneer conversation analysis and social linguistics.

UCLA and Yale are great.

UC San Diego is the place to be for STS.

Yale is the place to be for your interests. The focus of the program is cultural and historical sociology, and the whole cultural trauma thing was developed by Alexander and Eyerman. It's a very selective program; I think they only admit five students a year. I had an interview last year and I think it really helped.

ummmm... just about any mainstream American sociology department has a bunch of people doing quantitative work... If you're having a hard time finding departments that do quant work, then you should get your eyes checked! At any event, you need a substantive focus, not just a methodological one.

yes, you're competitive. Nobody even looked at my GRE scores at the departments where I was accepted. Your scores are super high. Write an awesome SOP and you'll be fine. And, rank matters (when it comes to getting a job). Don't let anybody convince of something different. Look, as sociologists we study how important status and prestige are. There's no reason to think that those things don't make a difference in a soc phd program.

No. Not at all.

They do this kind of stuff at CU Boulder. Check out Leslie Irvine.

They do this kind of stuff at CU Boulder. But you can study gender and violence at most any sociology department. Just frame it in such a way that it appeals to a general audience.
