I applied for Fall, but I thought that they should give an answer by mid or late march. Is it a very competitive program? After a couple of bad answers I got really insecure. I might get a scholarship from my country, so there is a good chance that I woun't have to worry about founding!

radicaliterata, were you accepted this semester? I applied but still haven't got any answer.

I recently applied for three sociology MAs in the US: BU, New School, NYU and one in the UK: Oxford. I originally thought that MA would be significantly less competitive than PhD, am I right? I have an ok curriculum: TOEFL: 107 GRE: 450v 800q and 4.5 AW BA: Non-Sociology (GPA is hard to translate, but my GPA was ranked 6th among the 2008 seniors.) One published paper on a lousy journal One year research scholarship from a governmental institution Award for best monograph of 2008 Fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian, German and Hebrew ( does it metter?) I want to study race, racism and migration (perhaps forced migration) Am I competitive for those MAs? My theory was that the really smart people would go straight for the PhD and that my application would be competitive at the MA level.
