Hi all: I made a FB group if you're going to Cornell for Soc. http://www.facebook.com/groups/402125933144342/ please join!

Karlito, yeah—I hope I picked the right place! I didn't have a chance to visit because of the short notice, but it was clearly my best option and the department spent a lot of time chatting with me. I'm probably going to visit sometime next week, check out housing options, etc. As for research: I'm interested in how societies deal with their high-powered financial markets. What is considered legitimate, what things are regulated, how people are encouraged to interact with those markets, etc. I'm not sure how historical or narrow my approach will be yet, but I suppose that's why you have lots of time to explore and research. How about you? You said immigration and race/ethnicity. Are you going to focus on the States, Europe, or somewhere else? Any particular angle you're interested in exploring?

Karlito, I'll be sure to set up a Facebook group in the near future. Quick question about accepting the offer though: the website didn't work for me, so I had Susan Meyer do it. Did you get your Cornell NetID and stuff yet? I just want to make sure I'm in the system. Thanks!

Hey—I was one of the people accepted off the waitlist and I'll be going to Cornell in the fall. @Karlito: are you? Should we start a Facebook group or something?

Hey there. I'm also waitlisted for Cornell's sociology program and I prefer it to my other options, so I'm holding out for an acceptance. I got an interview (as I assume the OP did as well), and from what I understand, the department made some offers and are waiting for rejections to make new offers. If you're not going to accept, I'd suggest you turn your spot down, as there are several waitlisted people (although I'm not sure if the WL is ranked or something). Thanks!
