Pinoy- Things were slow going for me at CUNY and UBC. I called up the departments and they allowed me to send unofficial transcripts and GRE scores as place holders. I also included e-receipts to prove I sent the requests long in advance of the due dates. Try to explain your situation and see if you can work something out like that. Good luck!

I bet you did great. For someone who survived law school the GRE is LSAT lite.

How would you define "friendly toward sociologists?" I can't imagine any place antagonistic to them...

I am part of the sociology program and a week from now visiting the Triangle for the first time. Love that someone started a thread for UNC.

If you aren't averse to going to Canada also consider University of Toronto's sociology program. Barry Wellman is probably one of the most prolific scholars on cyberculture. I will warn you it is very competitive to get into.

Thanks everyone. I am so relieved. As a thanks, I will give you this fun nugget from a UNC alum.

Got off the waitlist at UNC-Chapel Hill!!!! After 13 rejections I finally get into a school. So excited!

] If I go the MA route I want a place where I can get mentoring and faculty attention. I still feel like a raw quantity. At Columbia (and U of C) I would be second banana to the PhD students and it would be hella expensive for a second-class experience. I'd rather have something funded at a less prestigious place where I can get more nuturing. I am still holding hope for a few PhD programs though.

I got offered the MA program after being rejected from the PhD program. It is completely unfunded. Cute to say that I got accepted to the Ivy League but there is no way in heck I am taking it.

I mean the other MA programs I applied to as an emergency. They will most likely offer full funding with stipend. However, the moving and living expenses could cancel each other out as I live in Chicago already. Interesting dilemma if Plan A falls through.

Accepted into MAPPS with 1/2 tuition. As awful as my SoP was I thought they would charge me a 1/2 more than full price. I live in Chicago and I have no UG debt so it is tempting. But if my first 15 falls through I think I'd rather have a funded masters at a less prestigious place.

All I have so far is one waitlist at Indiana. No acceptances at all. I am really hoping those who get accepted there take other offers.

Rejected from both of the above....where is the love?

So happy for you slumgullion! I know how torturous this process has been for you. DId you get in somehwere sociologyplease as well? Perhaps there still is hope.

I think they want to test our deductive logic skills.
