I am looking to apply for a PhD program in Sociology. My interests include deviant behavior, juvenile delinquency, penology, and reentry. Penn State would definitely be a dream program, although I am keeping an open mind. I do want to get into a program that waives tuition. That's very important to me. I have not taken the GRE yet ... I plan on taking it in early December. I am looking for suggestions and tips ... any idea of my chances at getting into a pretty good program is appreciated!
