    I mean, if you want to say working in the U.S., and particularly in t-30 universities, ranks sadly matter. Of course, there's always the chance that you will be one of the people who don't come from t20 and have a job there. My advice is to apply as many as you can, that's the strategy for international students. Re on the article: It depends on the journal. If the article is indexed in WoS, well known, and you are the sole author, then surely send it! I will make a difference.

    As far as I know, the only U.S. university that requires a Master's in Sociology to apply for a PhD is The New School. For the universities, I'd recommend you do at least 3 things: 1) check professors' profiles and look where they work; 2) check rankings (such as U.S. news or Q.S.); 3) see the strengths of each department rather than the individual. Is very, very unlikely that they will admit you if you only want to work with 1 professor, in the U.S. the admission is departamental rather than individual. That being said, admissions processes are weird, discretional, and somewhat random to most people, and this is definitely true for non-U.S. applicants. The papers count, although, as you said, they weigh less than a Journal Published in a U.S. journal. You submit as a writing sample the best piece of paper that you have and, if you have time, make it readable to U.S. scholars: The U.S. sociology academic is totally U.S.-centric Good luck!

    I know about two top 10 schools; they had more applicants than last year, although not radically more.

    Probably real.

    I can't blame them; probably, the applications doubled (or more) since the GRE requirement is now optional.

    I know it's hard. But I'd say wait. You will know sooner or later.

    If rejected, the best option for international students outside Europe (mainly the U.K.) is to enroll in an M.A. This situation is super sad, but it is just the reality for us internationals. Unlike European academia, U.S. academia is particularly focused on itself and networked in the U.S. On the other hand, I do agree somewhat that your list is top tier, but not tier 0. Immo: T0: UW-Madison, Michigan, UCLA, Yale, Columbia, and Penn T1: JHU, Brown, Northwestern, and maybe UCSD or UCI. Also, the universities you have applied to haven't said anything yet. Best of luck!!

    Hi fellas, I created this legendary topic in this forum. I did it because I noticed some changes regarding GRE. First, is that UC Berkeley is changing from required to optional. Second, UW-Madison is totally dropping the GRE requirement. Third, UT-Austin went from optional to required quant and verbal scores (Writing will not be reviewed, they claim). If you have any further information, please don't hesitate to post it here.

    I am still waiting for JHU. However, I am just waiting for them to send me a rejection, similar to what I did with UCSB.
  16. thirdoneisthewinner
    I haven't been rejected, waitlisted, or accepted to JHU. I'm losing my mind. Just reject me already. Is anyone in the same position?
  17. thirdoneisthewinner
    Hey! No worries! Thank you for the insight. Do you mind if I ask you about your research interests?
  18. thirdoneisthewinner
    Has anybody heard about JHU?
