I'm still in the preliminary program research phase (along with my partner who is applying but in another discipline), and here are the sociology programs I have found that do not seem to require it (so far): Michigan, Syracuse, Yale, Toronto, New School, Boston University, Texas A&M, Oxford, McMaster, University of Washington, Purdue, UCSB Schools that made it optional last year but not indicating this year's decision: Maryland, OSU, WashU STL, Minnesota, Cornell, UVA, Chicago, Oregon If my info is wrong, anyone please feel free to correct.

Thank you for updating us with that! Interesting that Madison may drop, since it's heavy on quant as a program (to my knowledge). Good luck with your prep. ?

Hello, What are everyone's thoughts on whether sociology programs will continue the trend of making the GRE optional or eliminating the requirement altogether? Michigan, for example, has already stated that GRE scores will not be required (see: https://lsa.umich.edu/soc/graduates/application-procedures/application-materials-checklist.html), with some other schools stating they are optional. Has anyone been reaching out to other programs to ask about the 2022-2023 cycle? Do you plan to take it, or do you think it may not be worth doing? I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to spend the time preparing for it or if time is better spent trying to do other things to boost application chances...thanks!

Hello, does anyone know if Berkeley sent out rejections for sociocultural track?

I think it may be a bit early, yeah. Good luck to you as well!

I am sociocultural. Do you think they send staggered interview invites? Good luck!

Is anyone waiting on UVA, Rice, Emory, or Berkeley? Best of luck to all! I hope the outcomes are favorable for everyone.

Someone in my family applied for sociocultural and has not yet heard back, if that helps any.

A family member of mine applied to UChicago and has not yet heard back. Not sure if all interviews went out already -- I only see one posted (the other one seems to be a question).

Hello, has anyone heard anything back from Rice?
