Hi For those who will go to UNC-Chapel Hill this fall, have you received any paper material (eg. official offer letter, orientation information, etc) from them after you took the offer? I moved to a new place after the application, and I didn't receive anything from them. So, I was wondering whether I had missed some documents. Thanks a lot. I do appreciate it.

Hello, To those who have got the offer from UVA, did you see the funding information in the offer letter? Did you receive an offer letter by mail? I didn't. Did the school say when to visit that school? Thank you very much. Please message me. I do appreciate it.

Thanks a lot, sociology27. I have sent you a message. In your opinion, what kind of students are they looking for? What is their strength? thank you very much.

Any news about UVA? Does UVA have interviews? What questions did they ask? Thanks a lot.

Hello In the application page for each school, they ask you: do you apply for other schools in the same time? what are they? How do you answer this question? In your opinion, why do they ask this question? Thank you very much. I do appreciate it.

Thank you so so so much for all of your replies. I have a master degree in humanity, although I love social science. I took only a few sociology courses at school, so I want to catch up with the other applicants who are from sociolgy. That's why I want to know how much those people have learned and read at school, although I have read those classic sociological books. 1) Specifically speaking, I am interested in social networking, for example. Where to find how much has been developed in this field? I don't want to be seen as a student who is silly enough to state something that has been already studied. 2) Also, it seems to me that there is a trend that people with statistical background will be more welcomed. I got 800 in math, but I don't have that background. That's why I want to know how much people with that background have learned in quantitative things. How can I catch up? 3) Do you know how those people without a sociology background state the reasons why they are going to change their major during the application? I do appreciate your help. Thank you so much for your time;)

Hi, I did not major in sociology before. I am wondering how much you (from sociology program) have learned or read before your application for the PhD program in sociology. 1) Could you give me a basic list of the books that you have read? 2) In terms of quantitative or statistical things, how much shall we master before the application? 3) Do you know where to find a summary of all the latest research findings on a particular sociological field? Thank you so much for your answers. I do appreciate your help.

I do want to know how those who did not major in sociology acted in the application. Thank you very much.
