I can't speak for UConn specifically but I think this is the unfortunate nature of being on the waitlist. They actually do not have news until it moves one direction or another, so silence just means yeah, still waiting to hear from accepted students.

That said, I think waitlists will will start moving after this next weekend. Most recruitments will be done (I think?) so people will probably start at least notifying their last choice schools.

Thanks! I guess there is nothing I can do except hope for the best at this point. :/

Is there anyone who waitlisted by UConn except me? They reached me like 3 weeks ago for telling me that I'm waitlisted, and I never heard from them since then. I don't know how to interpret this silence :/

I had an interview with Hopkins on the 17th of Feb, (notified of interview on 15th) and was accepted on the 22nd. Good luck! Their admission process is confusing, I noticed on the results page that two people were admitted even before I had my interview. 

Thanks! There is no change on my admission status. A rejection letter would work, too.

Has anyone heard from Rutgers, Johns Hopkins or Notre Dame - Kroc Institute?

It's possible Brandeis could be a good fit for you. We don't really have any quantitative classes, and our graduate methods course is entirely focused on field methods. Further, if you're interested in law and polisci there are some cool new faculty members we've hired in the last few years who could be good resources for you.

That sounds great, because my undergrad is law and my m.a. is polsci. Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

[The Schools Which Prefer Qualitative Method]

Hello there,

I'm from Turkey with a Law B.A. and a political science M.A. (still studying on my thesis), and I am planning to apply sociology phd programs in the USA. However, the qualitative analysis method is preferred in most of the social sciences programs, and quantitative method is not taught enough or maybe not at all (in my case). I did not took any calculus or statistics class. As I see, on the other hand. the social sciences are tended to prefer quantitative analysis method in the USA. So, I don't want to waste my time/money/effort to apply for programs which I cannot be accepted, and I think that my chance would increase if I apply for the schools which prefer qualitative method or at least tolerate it. Do you know what programs would be better for me in this regard? Thanks!
