HopefulSocPhD

My timeline predictions based on the last 3 years have been pretty off the mark as well. I guess the departments get around to it when they get around to it. Boulder is a lovely place, so hopefully they'll get around to it soon!

Yup.

Yea, I'm thinking the same thing. Brown will be rejection #6 for me. I just want this season to be over with. 4 more rejections and I'm done.

With four admits and a pretty small cohort, I wonder if there will be any more Brown admits, or if rejections should be coming soon...

I agree with you. I wonder what kind of "kiss of death" might have been lurking in my apps. And specific program recommendations would be very helpful!

Congratulations to the Brown admits today!

Mine too.

Looks like an acceptance to Brown on the results board. If that's not @goofylemon, looks like Brown is starting to notify.

Aaaaaaaand, there it is; Berkeley rejection.

I'm sure my Berkeley rejection is not far behind. I feel ya @macadamia tea, I really do.

So it sounds like Berkeley acceptances probably did go out yesterday. There are three on the board from yesterday, and last year only three total acceptances were posted. Do we think more might be going out or rejections should arrive soon?

Congratulations goofy and @spicytunaroll!! @goofylemon It seems as if you're doing rather well so far! Although I didn't realize that Yale did interviews... oops didn't mean to quote that...

Thank you for the encouragement @gingin6789, @Shamon, @redhillgirl, and @lioneironaut. I'll try to stay optimistic and also figure out a plan to reapply next year. Also, seems like there wasn't much in the way of results activity today. I guess the "slow week" is panning out so far as predicted.

To be honest I've given up hope (99.99% of it anyway) for my apps and Berkeley was a fantasy reach anyway. I'm thinking positive thoughts for the rest of y'all though.

There's another Berkeley acceptance on the results boards. I guess today is the day for Berkeley! Congrats to whoever you are!

Oh lol, well here's hoping for good news!

So that was you? Congratulations!

There is an acceptance from Berkeley on the results board.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be looking into these for sure. I already technically applied for the Columbia MA (secondary to Ph.D.) so I guess I'll have to see what happens with that too.

Grats to the acceptances today! I haven't been obsessing over hearing from schools quite as much after the rejection-fest I got during the last two days of last week... plus my grandma died yesterday. Suxor. And did someone say pictures of goofy pups? Where???

Since my Ph.D. Application season this year isn't going so well thus far, I'm looking into Masters programs in Sociology, preferably those with at least partial funding. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations of these types of programs that I might be able to apply to?

Email to check UCLA's website came in the middle of the night. At this point I'm not surprised; it was a rejection.

Congratulations to the Washington admits!!!

I don't know, I am wondering the same.

Yeah, you just go ahead and put in a good word for me there...
