Same exact schools here for me

Does anybody have any more information about Harvard's Joint Degree in Sociology and Social Policy? It seems like the Sociology admits went out already (but not the rejections) and that the joint program is still reviewing. Does anyone have information about how that process is done and how/when decisions are communicated? Thanks for any advice!

Last week I was in bed mid-way through a Netflix binge when I saw my phone light up. I was getting a call from an out-of-state number I had never seen before. Recently I've been getting an insane amount of spam calls, so my first thought was just to ignore it. Yet I was curious to see what new trick they would try playing on me this time, so I answered with a very confrontational "Hello." The person on the end asked if this was [insert my name here] and I didn't respond, still not trusting that this was anything other than a spam call. Instead asking who was calling, I was very surprised to learn it was a professor telling me I'd been accepted into their program. My tone immediately transformed from snarkiness to gratitude and I'm now very glad I picked up that phone.

Thanks! I'm primarily interested in spatial sociology and how it affects low-income populations' barriers to employment and social mobility.

Hey that was me (long-time lurker, first-time poster), I appreciate the congrats! Congrats to everyone else who's getting into their schools too!
