Any of those who have been accepted by Yale – Did your official acceptance letter (w/ details and funding information) come via e-mail or through the postal service? Thanks in advance!

Thank you @litany239 ! I appreciate it! Still waiting on my official notice. Also, forgot to note that the program I got into was a joint Ph.D. in Sociology and African-American Studies. Therefore, that may have played a role in getting accepted later then most Sociology applicants. Wishing you the best!

I received notice from Yale last night inviting me to recruitment day in April. Had not even heard that I had been accepted yet. Emailed DGS this morning, confirmed that I have been admitted and that I should receive an official acceptance either today or tomorrow. I will post on the board once it is actually OFFICIAL. So they could be sending notices out to their "second wave" of students. Hope this helps!

@HopefulFutureSoc Congrats! Looks like you'll have some tough decisions, or maybe its an easy one for you. Any idea on which school might be the best fit for you so far? PM me if you'd like.

Thanks @gingin6789 and that's great to hear! I am still waiting on a couple of schools, but barring any crazy offers I most likely be at Brown.

I completely get it @gingin6789. It is nice to have closure though isn't it? The things you pointed out could have made a difference, nonetheless you got into some great programs and you will have some tough decisions to make. Also, have my fingers crossed for you and Vandy

@gingin6789 Keep your head up! You got into some amazing schools. I also got rejected from Brandeis, but I knew I was a bad fit. I applied because it was close to home and I had a fee wavier. Brandeis has a great program, but my research interests just didn't fit. Congrats to all those accepted!

@123letsgo Thanks for sharing this with me! Hoping for the best. @flatnwhite Thank you for sharing this information as I am still waiting on Yale as well.

I haven't received my rejection from Harvard yet. I know its coming just wondering why I haven't received it yet since 20 people received theirs today. Do you think because I applied to a joint Ph.D. program (Sociology & Social Policy) it takes longer?

I applied to the joint Sociology & Social Policy Ph.D. program. Have not heard anything at all. Assuming that isn't a good sign. :/

ahh man U Chicago would have been awesome! Wish I would have applied. Congrats to U Chicago admits! And all others as well!

@ts1493 I would say that the fact you had already spoke with a professor may have passed you through the phone interview part. From what I understood it was just a phone call to get more information about us. Northeastern was one of the only schools where I wasn't able to speak to anyone before hand. I did have a brief email exchange with the chair, but a phone call allowed them to get a better sense of my background and experience. I am transferring from a PhD program into another, so that was another reason they wanted to talk briefly. Given your stats and the fact you were already admitted into BC – I would say you will most likely hear good news. Best of Luck!

Hi Alice, I also had an interview last week on Tuesday. I was told the same as you. I have also not heard anything. To be honest I think we should hear back anytime between now and Friday. So hang in there!

Congrats @gingin6789 ! I am sure you will end up getting your funding too!

Congrats to all the admits today! Hopefully we start seeing these acceptances continue on throughout the week!
