Fair enough. In my defense, I do know at least that I want to go into Sociology post-baccalaureate. I've read various materialsand also had a great intro course to develop my interests. I'll be taking the GRE at least twice before Fall '13.

Hey Everyone, I'm getting an early start on my grad school prep, and wondering if anyone could help me here. I'm almost a year into my undergrad with a 3.8 GPA. My main research interests are Sociology of Culture and Urban Sociology,with some interest also in Sociology of Education. I have alot of places I want to apply. I'll group them: Ivy's: Princeton, Harvard Safeties: Temple, Rutgers New Brunswick Everywhere else(ranked in order of preference):U Wisconsin Madison, NYU, U Chicago, U Virginia I plan to get ahead start on undergrad research, and I've already developed relationships with someof the professors in my department (good LORs). Not sure what to say about GRE's, as I'll be under the new scoring system that starts this fall, but I plan to score the equivalent of 600 or above on all sections with adequate preparation. Where I stand right now: Won't kill me if I don't get into the Ivy's, but I'd really like to go to one of my non-safety, non-Ivy schools. If I keep my GPA between 3.7 and 3.8, and achieve these GREambitions,do I stand a fair chance? Thanks, JLM

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I'm looking to apply there by 2013 (I'm a sophomore in my BA this fall). What are your research interests? (just so I know what types of scholars they like).

I agree. If the referee is not dead, then this is strange. I hope I never run into this!

Hey Everyone. I'm new here. Just wanted to thank everyone for their offerings; a huge help!
