Looks like three out of four rejections for me will come next week. Well, it has been a nice journey waiting for you guys UCLA, WashU, and CUNY. Gotta keep my fingers crossed for four remaining apps

I've applied there, but not a word from them. I shall send them email today.

I woke up to an email from UAlbany, got really anxious because I saw the title "General Application Material," and it turned out to be an invitation to a webinar. Albany has been teasing me lately with their invitations to virtual grad student meetup, and now this? Come on.

Looks like next week will be the real deal for a lot of people. Sending good vibes to everyone reading this post.

I don't know for sure, as he did not tell me what school he was accepted to, but he did say that he was not interviewed but got acceptance. This was a couple of years ago so it may not necessarily apply to this cycle. Anyway, I sent the email to CUNY Sociology department to inquire about interview and admissions to make sure about what I asked you.

Sounds about right, but I just wanted to confirm this because I have seen people get accepted even with no interview. Thank you for the information!

Looks like today has been a rather quiet day. Let us hope for some good news tomorrow!

Do you know if they only extend the offer to the people who they interviewed?

A new day has arrived. I hope everyone gets good news!

To anyone who applied to Baylor: Baylor Sociology will hold the virtual recruitment days on Feb 21-23, and GSD told me that they will be in contact with applicants next week. Man I am nervous now.

I totally feel you. I mean, I have a thesis to write but I just cannot focus and my productivity level is at all-time low due to the anxiety that is plaguing my everyday life. Like how many more weeks do we have to wait?

I feel that. I just want UCLA to give out rejection letter so I don't have to just assume that I got rejected!

My daily schedule: 1. Check my email 2. Check GradCafe results 3. Check this thread 4. Go back to 1. 5. Do this for 10 times a minute. I love this waiting game :'P

I am now extremely anxious about CUNY, because I heard nothing about the interviews which seem to be prevalent among applicants and it has not historically done interviews before. I wonder if I have not heard anything about interview, would it mean that I basically have no chance?

Thank you for the info!

According to the results page, there definitely were a few instances where people did get accepted in Feb. That is why I am keeping my hopes up.

I wonder if acceptances to UCLA are sent in waves. I still did not get any update, which probably means I am rejected, but I am just keeping my hopes up. Meanwhile, why is there no update on other schools? Anyone know about WaShu? Edit. I just sent an email to WaShu about when to expect any decision. Hopefully I get an answer soon.

Can anyone confirm WashU's acceptance? Thank you.

Seeing all these UCLA acceptances and interviews from CUNY makes me nervous but congrats to everyone who got admission/interview offers!

Just saw UCLA acceptance on Results page. Now I am extremely anxious...

Not really! My research is more on voluntary immigration + identity of second generation immigrants. I never thought about even applying for a Master's at Columbia because... it's New York City and I don't think I could afford living there with all the tuition fee. But here I am, applying to CUNY and wishing to get in...

Hello! I have applied to UCLA, UC Berkeley (Ethnic Studies though), Baylor, CUNY, George Mason, Syracuse, SUNY Albany, and WashU. I am currently finishing up MA in Religious Studies, and I also have some background in Anthropology. So my research area is largely based on qualitative. I am more interested in migration and ethnic studies, with impact of COVID-19 on hand as well. I really really wish to get in SOMEWHERE, as this is my second cycle... How are others coping with the current situation? Looks like this page is totally dead.

Hello. I am currently working on my applications for Fall 2021 application cycle, and although there are a lot of schools that made the GRE optional or not required, I still have to send the scores to some schools (UCLA, George Mason for fellowship consideration, Baylor, UAlbany). Standardized tests have never been my strong side, and I ended up getting not so stellar scores on two tests I took (159V/150Q/4.0AW, 154V/155Q/4.5AW) What scores should I send in to the schools that I am applying to? I honestly think I have good matches with profs there, and my SOP seems strong enough. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. This really helps. I hope I do adjust well to MSU once I go there.

I probably won't get a chance to visit because I am currently not in the States, and as for funding I think I can get about 30% of the tuition. I would love to visit actually. I may ask them if I can.
