    Man, I'm so happy for everyone! It's so hard to just lurk now that everyone is getting some form of good news! I've been holding back from commenting because I'm starting to feel jealous and all the positive, supportive side of me has gone bitter : (
    I remember Doctor Who saving me from the first time I got rejected from all 8 programs I applied too. The doctors brought me to the far end of time and space!
    Really happy for everyone, but I'm seriously like getting bummed out that I got rejected already and not look forward to hearing about rejections from the other 6 schools I applied. 
    Allons-y!

    I'm not sure but it seems like most people are posting results around noon -- so I assume around the morning.
    So anyway this morning in an obsessive frenzy, I decided to call the admissions offices of all the schools I applied to and ask about timelines.
    Here's what I was told:
    CUNY Graduate Center - End of January, beginning of February
    Princeton - End of February 
    Harvard - Starting end of Febuary, all decisions out by March 15.
    Columbia - No comment
    Boston University - March/April
    NYU - End of February 
    Northeastern - February/March 
    Yale - Febuary/March
     
    Anyway didn't really learn anything new but I liked the feeling of control I got again when I was calling my schools haha.

    Jaime Johnson's stuff is on Hulu, I always love his pieces on income inequality, since he has such an inside scoop and his stuff is very raw as a result. He was very young when he made his documentaries, early twenties I think, and it's amazing how candid the people he interviewed were! Particularly in Born Rich. I also love The Queen of Versailles (about the Siegel family, not Marie Antoinette), it's usually on Netflix or Hulu. 
    Haha, can you tell I'm interested in studying social stratification?

    It's counter-intuitive, but the number one mistake I've made when talking to professors from programs I've been accepted to is getting too detail-oriented. I want to know the specifics of each program of course, but my best experiences have been just having a conversation without as many pointed questions. These conversations often end up answering my questions anyway, and in going in a roundabout way give me more insight into the professors' philosophies and the overall vibe of the department.
    The advice I'm trying to give myself is that I've already been accepted multiple places and to just relax and have a normal conversation.

    I had some good news this morning! I got my dream job working as a researcher for a huge social research company. At least if I don’t get any offers I have a damned good back up plan

    It's okay to be negative, theres no need to fake anything you dont feel. All I can say is you wont actually know until you see it in writing and its official, plus theres still months left before all decisions are made. 
    Either way im starting to feel very discouraged too and it really, really sucks. I used to be so confident i could get in somewhere, now I feel so unsure.

    I would try not to worry about a waitlist from Iowa. Typically programs don't want you to pursue a graduate degree from the same institution as this hurts you on the job market and the academic job market. They may have reached the decision to waitlist you based on this rather than your credentials. 
    I'm sorry to hear this though =[ Hope you have better luck soon.
