Hello, I have been accepted to a few sociology phd programs so far. I am so excited! For all the programs that I have been accepted to, I have been guaranteed full funding for 5 years. According to the programs, they cover tuition and health insurance. I just have a question about this. For whatever reason, back when I was applying, I thought "full funding" would cover other expenses such as rent? But, I guess not. Is this the norm in sociology or in other related fields as well?

I'm not sure if they use a waitlist. But, they initially sent out an email giving information about other accepted students. So, I'm guessing they have made their initial decisions. However, as I said before, new acceptances will probably be made when some students do not take their offer?

I was accepted to USC. It seems like they have already made their decisions. That being said, they indicated that if an accepted applicant is thinking of not attending, then let them know asap so they could give the offer to another student. Hope this information is helpful!

Hello! If you do not mind telling me, did you get emails for Cornell and Michigan? Also, for Cornell, did you apply to sociology or development sociology? Thanks :))

I did!
