  1. So are there any international applicants to US sociology PhD programs knocking about on the site? Would be good to know
  2. Hey frenchfries Well Yale and NYU are usually among the later to notify as they had later deadlines to apply- I think we can expect to hear around Feb 20th give or take a few days. Berkeley I guess is any time now as two people seem to have posted acceptances on the results thread - we don't know if they are real or not but if they are all is not lost as Berkeley every year notify over a period of about a week instead of all on a single day so here's hoping No idea about CUNY but hope the rest helps! I also know what you mean- until I found this site last week I wasn't expecting to hear til the end of Feb/early March- since then I have barely left the results ticker- not sure if this a good or bad thing for my mental health!!
  3. Hey guys I've just been told I have an interview with my POI from Harvard, tomorrow (yikes!) But last year's results ticker made it look like they weren't interviewing, only accepting/rejecting. Do you think this is a bad sign?? Has anyone else heard anything or does anyone know what the likely focus/format will be ie sociology or more general? Thanks!
  4. haha food is proving an amazing distraction so far! especially hot drinks, tea, coffee and the like as you have to wait so long for them to cool down. that's three minutes more gone!
  5. I was wondering for all the internationals out there (I'm from UK) if anyone else is being driven nuts by the waiting, made worse by the time difference! I hate getting up every day trying not to think about this all but having to wait til 2pm (and even 5pm West coast!) before people will even make it into their offices stateside, let alone get in any contact! I've tried thinking of those morning hours as my 'safe time' when there is absolutely NO USE worrying as everyone who has important decisions to make about me is probably fast asleep, but no luck!! Any similar experiences, or tips to pass the time?! xo
  6. thanks for the heads up biblio, it is a little reassuring! i was wondering if you wouldnt mind sharing how you knew that?
  7. yeah i guess it holds with previous years on the results thread- there always seems to be someone notified ahead of the bunch! so for me berkeley is absolute DREAM school, what are your guys' dream schools? which profs did you say you hoped to work with? for me it was thorne and wacquant which i realise probably hindered my app as they are both quite big names in the dept!
  8. I was wondering if anyone knew who posted the early Berkeley socio acceptance, 21st Jan by phone? The person put up some great GRE scores with it! And if whoever posted it would be kind enough to share some details- anything about funding or visit days? Has anyone else heard from Berkeley? Has anyone else around here applied there?? Thanks!
  9. I'm still waiting it out to hear anything from any of my schools and the apprehension is KILLING ME! What's everyone's best tips to make the time go faster/keep your mind off this horrible torture?!?
  10. aah panic mode indeed!!! where did you hear this, can i ask? and also, not that i'm expecting to get in, but if i was so lucky- as an international applicant in england with a big time difference, you do suppose i'd hear by phone or email?

  12. So it's almost the very very end of January and things are still looking quiet! Have people been hearing anything? Acceptances or rejections? Which usually come out first? I am so clueless about all of this and an international applicant (from UK!)
  13. Do we know when we're likely to hear? Many of the schools say they give out offers by March 15 but I think it tends to happen earlier... Any ideas? The waiting is killing me! xo
