Just a forewarning; I've been told that adcoms may look down on MA'sbecause they have to ''unlearn'' the graduate theory and statistics.That probably is not true for all programs at all.
I have an MA in Sociology and I am not having very good luck withgetting in right now. Actually, I'm feeling similar to the OP (though Ido have an interview). Even with competitive scores, some research,and working a sociology instructor for community colleges it seems thatsometimes schools prefer a blank canvas. My one serious downfall wasthe SOP, perhaps if you do it again you might want to pay extraattention to that (i know i will).
