Hi, does anyone know how waitlists work with the April 15th deadline. I'm currently on an unofficial waitlist at my top school. I also have an acceptance and funding offer from a school I would be happy with. I am a little concerned because when I talked on the phone with the top school, they said they might not know whether they will take me off the waitlist until after April 15 when people let them know. By this time I already have to give the other school my decision. Is there a precedent for how this is handled? I feel like I can't be the only person to be waitlisted at their top school.

I am interested in similar research (sociology of food/ social movements). I applied to Cornell in Development Sociology, UC Davis and University of Kentucky in Sociology, and NYU and Syracuse University in Food Studies.

I'm still waiting to hear from their Development Sociology program. I emailed them on Monday, and they never responded. Are you waiting to hear from regular Sociology or Development Sociology?

Hi, I guess I'm late to the game and just found this website. Has anyone heard back from Cornell in Development Sociology? They're the only Sociology program that I haven't heard back from so far.
