Received their acceptance letter on Tuesday via email. Not sure how many others got into the program. Besides, a campus visit has been scheduled in early March.

Rejections 2011

Hi,
I actually emailed their secretary and she said that all the people who are accepted have received notifications. Therefore, silence probably means a rejection. But I could be wrong (maybe you can get a late admission from them).
Good luck!

Hi,
I hope since you posted that you have received good news from Harvard or Columbia
. If you don't mind me asking, did you receive a formal rejection from Stanford? If so, was it via email, snail-mail, website, etc.? I'm sure I was also rejected but I have not heard anything. Thanks for your help and good luck! -
Not sure if my case is a typical one, but I would appreciate any advice and comments. Many thanks. My status: Applied for 6 top programs in the state (including Chicago, Harvard, Stanford, and Michigan), but only got rejections so far. I am pretty sure that I will be rejected by the remaining ones. Pretty sure that I can continue my study in my current program. My profile: MA student, will receive my degree soon. Studying in a sociology department which is ranked around 35-45 in 2011 US news. I have huge support from two of the best profs in the faculty, and both of them graduated from Top5 programs in the States. Undergrad: a top one in my home country. I got my BS in another field of social science, though the school does not mainly focus on this area. Grad GPA: 3.93 Recommendations: all from my profs in this program, and I believe that they are good. GRE: 580v, 780q, 4.0w (yea, that's low ) PS: Was reviewed by my favorite Prof here and he thinks that it's good. Though I am not sure. Focus: social movements, political sociology, historical/comparative sociology Possible solutions: 1. Quit and reapply 2. Get into the Ph.D program here and reapply in fall 3. Stay here. But actually I would like to stay in the States and become a researcher or if possible, a professor. Thanks again

Until now, I have been rejected by 4 schools I applied for (U Chicago, Michigan, Stanford, Berkeley)..... Still have not heard from Columbia and Harvard, but I am pretty sure that I will be rejected sooner or later
