oh. my. lord. everyone. hello!
i have been trying to create an account since last wednesday to comment on this thread to no avail. anyway, greetings! i received my acceptance from the university of iowa's sociology phd program last wednesday (on my birthday)! super exciting!
other than iowa's acceptance (and washu's rejection), i've been kind of in the dark. i didn't set my standards very high, so i didn't apply to many places. i'm applying straight from undergrad. didn't take the gre. no significant research experiences. 'twas a doozy. meh, anyway.
has anyone heard anything from bu, arizona, cornell, or virginia? i contacted maryland, and received an email back that said: "The committee is currently reviewing the applications, yours is in the review. Decisions will be going out in the next couple of weeks." however, i already saw they sent out some acceptances, so my hopes are slightly low, lmao. just wanted to come on here and ask!
