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

Rejected from Brown. As other posters have noted, an email to check the website is rarely a good sign...
Ah, well. This is the character-building funny part?
Hi, do you mind telling a bit about your profile? Just for reference
And congratulations for being accepted by so many top programs!

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

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.
