  1. Im definitely looking for jobs in research and data analysis. The program is okay it leaves alot to be desired though.
  2. So I decided that I would take off a year or two after I finish my MA since I'm getting married this summer. Being out of school makes it difficult to get anywhere near as much research and teaching experience. So I was wondering if you guys could offer suggestions and advice on how to best utilize my time. I plan on applying for Fall 2012 or 2013.
  3. Thanks my first app is due at the end of the month and every little thing is stressing me out plus I have GRE retake in 2 days
  4. That is what I have done so far and my advisor encourage it.
  5. I will have my MA in the spring the age difference is just really weird too me
  6. Okay just wondering because I've been going through this age difference realization that everyone in phd programs are in their late 20's and that there is the secret age requirement that no one tells me about me being 23 starting to freak over it kind of like you must be this tall kind of thing
  7. Completely off topic but would it bother you if I asked how old you are?
  8. Update: He was reelected in a landslide he's unstoppable
  9. As far as a Law and Criminology go its a great department faculty wise. It is a really really small program as there are only 10 faculty, but on any give day you can walk down the hall and talk to every single one. As for Dr. Luebke he does still take students just not as often as most professors do as he doesn't teach very other semester because of his state senate obligations but he is still around from time to time, he is also running for reelection this year so tomorrow he may not be a state senator any more, although I doubt that he has had that position for forever. Although he hasn't written since 2002 he still presents at conferences from time to time. I wouldn't apply to UNCG just to work with just Dr. Luebke, the thing about the department is that they will let work on pretty much whatever you want and someone will support you. Your best bet is to e-mail him and pretty much every faculty member is quick to respond and don't mind responding. To be honest the course offerings are not that great but you are only required to take 4 courses in the program everything else can be taken where ever you desire. As for information you tend to learn more about how the department works through the other grad students than from the professors. There are some professors that will chair your committee and let you do what you want and then there are others that will kind of hijack your thesis. Since your scores are similar to what mine were you may or may not have trouble getting funded.
  10. Yea I'm at UNCG my area is sociology of education for the most part more generally race and ethnic relations and strat...let me know if you have any questions
  11. Your situation is similar to mine 2 years ago and I am now applying to Phd programs...If you really want to get out of town then don't stay working on a thesis in a place you don't want to be makes it a lot more stressful. If the only thing in your way is the GRE retake it and apply to the programs you want never settle for a program though. Good luck
  12. Can anyone tell me what the Finanacial Aid Package (TA or RA) is at UT-Austin, Indiana, Boston, Vanderbilt, or Pitt? If in Sociology the sociology programs thats great just trying to get an Idea for what they are so I can compare cost of living.
  13. Would anyone be willing to critique my personal statement? PM me and i can email it to you.
