If you're waiting on Berkeley, they just let me know I wasn't accepted for their Sociology/Demography program!

I have nothing to add on to this other than 1) I love this response, you hit the nail on everything I've ever felt about grad school admissions and the field of sociology (and public health while we're at it), and 2) The book THICK has an essay on how and why international students are far more valued than American students of color that is also worth checking out.

Got the rejection email from UT. Actually feeling good about it given that it was a bad fit looking at it now. Best of luck to the rest of us!

Pretty sure the silence from UT Austin is a soft rejection. Oh well, I loved their sociology program as an undergrad, but I guess it really wasn't a good fit graduate school wise.

With you right there ?

I applied to their MPH program back in 2016-2017, and I got notification I was accepted near the end of February. Emory was super quick, yes! As for funding, I hope you have a better chance than I did when I applied. Few people I knew who enrolled in Emory (and Berkeley) received any type of aid and had to work to make ends meet. But I hope with renewed interest in public health and more funding opportunities, they can provide something for you! If you need some help or wanna chat about the MPH curriculum, I'm always happy to chat

Nothing yet from Berkeley ?

Haven't heard anything via email from UT Austin!

Oh god, that sent a lump in my throat! At UT has started to review, I was wondering when they would. ?
