Same, but I'm pretty sure that decisions will come out this week. About time to end this torment

An historical-comparative analysis of political articulation between Bolivian and Chilean left after their return to democracy. How did they manage to articulate, class, ideological and cultural interests in projects that resulted dissimilar. Hope we get in. If not, there's always another chance next year!

Good luck! Just for curiosity, what are your interests?

Hey, for those who applied to NYU, did you send a shorter version of your SOP, or did you send a full version anyways? Since they asked for a maximum of 2 double-spaced pages, I feel pretty insecure about my SOP hahaha

No international acceptances from Michigan, huh

Do you state this by the results of the results board?

Apparently UM-Ann Arbor acceptances are out. I'll assume that they are from Sociology and not Sociology & Public Policy, right?

I just want to assume it as a soft rejection due to mental health issues. However, I can't for the same reasons you state LMAO

That's what I thougt *sigh*. Altought, 3 out of 5 NYU post are from Steinhardt.

Does anyone know if NYU's acceptances on the scoreboard are from Steinhardt or GSAS?

A paper draft that I developed as an RA, is about the Chilean Social Outburst of 2019. It's based on 18 in-depth interviews. Hope that works! Yours?

Comparative Historical and political sociology, with an emphasis in Latin America! Good luck!!

I'm waiting for UM as well. What are your interests? edit: BTW, congrats for your acceptance!!

Dude I can't wait

I had no idea that you could ask for feedback from admission committees. Did you write Graduate department?

My take, as an international applicant, is that it depends on whether you want to work in the U.S. or in your home country. If it is the former, I would give it a last try and try to enter a top20 University. This is due to the fact that scholars from mid-tier and low-tier universities have issues getting a position after they graduate (even locals). If your situation is the latter, and you aren't from a European country, I would take this opportunity, because, as you may know, international degrees in African, Latin American, and most of Asian countries are more valued than local degrees (I don't like this situation but it is what it is).

I'm also international and didn't get an invitation either from NYU.

Don't worry about more education. As you may already know, applications are very likely to be unpredictable. For example, I got rejected from a t10 University even though I had a POI who showed interest and explicitly wrote a note to the admission committee. When I told her I was rejected, she replied: "I am so sorry, I don't know what my colleagues were thinking. [...] but I really didn't expect this outcome. I am honestly surprised, and disappointed. [...]" (For the record I've a similar profile, but instead of a good GRE (mine is clearly worse: 148Q, 155V and 4.5W) I have 2 publications.) So, I'll join others' opinions and encourage you to publish something. Good luck!

Thanks for reporting back. Any news from NYU?

Rejected from UW-Madison, check the portal (0a, 1r, 2p)

The prof said that a note of "enthusiasm" regarding working with me was going to be added to my file

I'm in the same position at a University that already sent some acceptances, so...

Oh, I see. It seems I got rejected as well. Although they may be the results for the Sociology and Environmental PhD. Idk, I want to dream

Can you post it here? I'm reading that they have released undergraduate results but haven't heard about graduate

How do you know UW-Madison released acceptances? If that's the case, well I got rejected aswell.
