Acceptances you had: Rutgers, Emory (off of waitlist)
Research Area: Culture, Social Capital/Social Networks, Medical Sociology, Qualitative Methods
Final Choice: Emory
Reason: Got off of the waitlist last minute!! I emailed Emory's DGS a week before April 15th, and he told me that I was the top waitlister and asked me to hold off making any decision about Rutgers. So I waited until April 15th, and finally got off of the waitlist! The sociology department of Rutgers is also great, but Emory is a better fit for me. I love the friendly faculty there (the DGS is extremely nice) as well as the location and weather of Atlanta!
