Has anyone heard back from UMass Amherst? This is my first time posting on any discussion forum on this site. Some folks have already uploaded their decisions, including two acceptances and one waitlist. It's my top choice program, and I fear I will be rejected despite being a good fit. I'm sharing my stats just for reference:
4.0 Graduate and 3.6 Undergraduate GPA; MA in Sociology funded via TA'ship for 5 semesters; Research experience including undergrad honors and master's thesis along with research assistant on two projects as an undergrad; multiple conference presentations, but no publications; co-authored paper that is a revise and resubmit, but unrelated to my research interest
Here are the other schools I applied to:
UPitt
Florida State (in-state)
Boston U
Oklahoma State
