Appreciated!

True ! However, I did also notice some time ago that typing 'NYU' in the result searchbar only suggests Steinhardt + Wagner + Stern, and there is no option for GSAS or even just 'NYU' (for which you have type the words 'new york university' in full). I noticed this when I at first I couldn't find the genuine NYU Sociology results from previous years, and reckon maybe some Sociology people might have just picked whatever option was available when they typed 'NYU'. (And yes, re-reading what I just typed I did feel a sense of shame for my compulsive pot-watching)

dude, if that is not how i'd summarize this entire process then I dunno what is haha. plz somebody who got an NYU offer provide some info and help end this torment.

yeah....On the one hand I feel like their is no logical reason they would have just said 'sociology' and not 'sociology of education'... But at the same time only 3 acceptances seems low for a program as big as NYU Sociology? The annoying thing is unless somebody claims them we won't know for another 2 weeks lol

It would be nice to hear from the NYU offer-holders if there are any around. Was it a formal email or one from POI? Did your status already update in the portal?

Fairly sure its GSAS. I don't think Steinhardt has a pure 'sociology' track, and this is the exact date GSAS released admissions last year.

they sent out a bunch late jan so i'm crossing them off for sure yeah.

That's great! Those are some wonderful options, coming from a UMD reject! Do you think your research SOP just had more relevant detail? Or was it an issue of finding a research topic which more alligned with researchers interests?

Hey, that was me. Interviewer mentioned some other candidates that they might look at, but tbh that was a few weeks ago and he has supposedly 'submitted his nomination' already. Sorry if that's bad news. However, the NYU side don't interview so you might still be in contention for the main track.

wow that's insanely impressive! I'd love to know more? what did you change? what's your profile like? where did you get in? Any info would be very helpful for those of us staring down the barrel of another potential trip around the block....

Anyone heard from U Penn PhD? Not seen anything in results, and unsure whether they interview.

I see. Similar enough situation to mine then, though no decisions have been released nor any reports of interviews etc. Fingers crossed for us both!

Yeesh, that must be tense. The Prof said they were nominating you? Are those admissions coming out in drips and drabs, or all at once?

Hi guys, wonder if anyone can help me make sense of something which is driving me crazy. A professor from a high profile sociology program (which doesn't use interviews as part of it's process) reached out to me for several conversations, and sort of excitedly told me that he will be 'nominating' me for admission (to the part of the course over which he primarily presides). That program generally sends out acceptances in the next few weeks, and I am stuck in a horrible limbo between tempering my expectations and getting carried away with thoughts about being in the program. Can anyone tell me, what does the weight of a 'nomination' from a Professor mean to the adcom? (The professor is on, or at least involved with, the adcom too).

just means you are being put into the pool of applicants for the masters
