sociopsych

Thanks and lot Tomi and Hobbers for the encouraging feedback.The insight on the nature of interdisciplinary work at depts and the approaches taken has been very illuminating. Yes I now plan to do more extensive research on depts and apply as an informed applicant. Many thanks again. cheers

Hi all, I am thinking of applying to socio phd programs for 2011 though am not very sure how many and which schools to apply as i have quite an unconventional background. I have a bachelors in engineering and masters in management and economics and also a work experience of around 4 years in a financial instituiton before i went for my masters. I have a gre score of 1460 with a 760 quants , 700 verbal and 5 awa split which was taken in 2008. I became interested in sociology while doing my masters thesis in behavorial economics. As i do not have a background in socio and also dodnt have steller grades in my acads (though my masters is from a well known university and i received good grades for my thesis ) i am not sure which range of schools i should target. i am interested in economic sociology and social psychology. Please advice. thanks
