Is there anyone else who's still not heard anything (acceptance, rejection, waitlist, etc.) from Vanderbilt? Bah.
-
i see a small wave of rejections on the results page. what should those of us who haven't received anything (acceptance, waitlist, rejection, OR the above "strange" email) expect? just a rejection pending?
-
although i didn't apply there, i know there are a ton of people still waiting on ucla.
-
seconded. it's not like they can un-accept you now. just play cool.
-
Has anybody heard from the University of Pittsburgh?

just out of curiosity, is it common for the programs to send out their decisions via snail mail? -
oh, man, OR beers are AWESOME
-
is it common in social sciences that advisers take their students along with them when they move?
-
good point. what do you guys think of the programs that are ranked relatively high (say top 25) but aren't explicit about their placement records?
-
i think several canadian schools, incuding utoronto, ubc, mcgill, are considered elite in the States for almost all academic disciplines. having said that, i personally have seen very few u.s.-based professors who got their degrees from there. so i dunno. it's weird.

What kinds of jobs do Ph.D.'s from non-first tier sociology programs? I'm not talking about star grad students who will succeed no matter where they get their degrees and a couple of other anomalies we can think of. Is there a realistic and legitimate market demand for the majority of sociology Ph.D.'s from non-first tier programs (say, non-top 20 or so?)?
-
i couldn't agree more. thanks for the heads-up and the source, too.
-
LOL what do you mean by that?
-
could be an anomaly. same as yale (just 2 acceptances which have been claimed by no one so far).
-
i think they traditionally have had a cohort of about that size (8-10). so at least that variable is consistent.
-
don't give up just yet. i'm one of the pessimists in this forum, but even i think that, with only 2 acceptance posts and nothing else, it's hard to tell they're done accepting people. with that said, rum and chocolate sound tempting.
-
wow. if they accepted 8, what were they aiming for? 3-4?
-
very interesting. i wonder why no one has posted about this until now.
-
OR beers are awesome. should have applied there, too.
-
i didn't apply there, but i'd be interested in hearing from yale acceptees.
-
LOL i thoroughly enjoyed this answer.

can someone define "R1 research universities/institutions"? -
If I ruled the world!/was on an admissions committee...
giacomo replied to sociology27's topic in Sociology Forum
i think writing sample is taken seriously, although i think sop should be considered more seriously -
i think most open houses are "admitted students" weekend events, although there are exceptions. emory, for example.
