  1. Talking about prestige or ranking can be an uncomfortable and heated discussion. Unfortunately, I do think going to a school that is ranked highly not only in their specific department/program but the university in general will be very helpful during the job search (Ivy League for example). Like someone else said, a former professor of mine who also wrote me a letter of recommendation specifically stated that prestige/name of a university is very important during the job hunt. I don't necessarily agree and DONT think going to a lower ranked school means that you will never get a job, buti think academia is largely about prestige.
  2. Hi mmurphy! I officially accepted the offer as well, see you in the fall!
  3. received the same email, and also had to read it twice! not upset at all though. What a strange tactic!
  4. Hi! @Flowerblitz, I would contact either Karl Dominey (karl_dominey@brown.edu) the Student Affairs Coordinator or Susan Short (susan_short@brown.edu) the Director of Graduate Studies in Sociology and let them know the website isn't working for you. Before emailing, I would try again to restore the password- that has worked for me in the past! Sometimes, the website is a bit fussy. In terms of my profile, I have a masters in public health, teaching and research assistant experience, independent research projects as an undergraduate, 3.57 gpa undergrad, 3.78 gpa grad, low quant. GRE, but good grade in statistics course, one publication in progress. I was also in close contact with a few professors whose research directly aligned with my interests ex. transition to adulthood in Ethiopia, and reproductive health in SSA.
  5. So excited about my recent acceptance to Brown, my top choice! I was wondering if anyone here can claim the other acceptances and, if so, are you going to accept the offer or do you have your sights on another department? Would love to get in touch!
  6. i've asked this question in a few other threads with no luck, but ill try it again here: does anyone have insight into admissions at Brown's sociology department?
  7. who else is interested in brown? have you been in touch with professors there?
  8. hey! did anyone else apply to Brown or have any insight into their admissions process? It's my top choice!
  9. very specific question, but does anyone have an idea of what time to expect an email? I'm currently living in Paris and curious to know in about what time-frame I should start incessantly hitting refresh/freaking out? i'm thinking it just might be throughout the day:( Good luck everyone!
  10. I totally agree, this process has just recently become very intense! Good luck everyone!
  11. I've applied to Ethiopia, how about yourself?
  12. This waiting game is very challenging! Anyone else applying to Sub-Saharan Africa?
