Congratulation on Yale acceptance, thats an accomplishment. Also Congratulations to all the other acceptances. I've been following this thread for a while I just recently created an account to post. Currently finishing up BA in sociology at one of the top 5 departments. I applied to 6 programs with a focus on historical comparative sociology and studying race and empire.
So far only a rejection from the University of Michigan. I'm hoping for the best but I am open to waiting another year or so to continue on this route.
Best of luck to everyone, this thread certainly has been nice to monitor, hopefully I can contribute some more to it.
