As an international student who switched from communications to sociology, I have always been worried about whether a "transferred" background will make my application a relatively weak one. I shared my application list on social media and some people replied to me that all these programs were all Tier 0 programs.
I started to be extremely stressed when I saw some programs were sending interviews.
I received nothing in my email box...
Programs I applied to:
UW-Madison Sociology
UMich Sociology
UCLA Sociology
UCSD Sociology
UCI Sociology
Brown Sociology
JHU Sociology
CUNY Sociology
Yale Sociology
Northwestern Sociology
SUNY Albany Sociology
TC columbia Sociology and Education
Penn GSE Education, Culture and Society
