Good luck! I thought about applying there, its a good program! University of Toronto is a good program too but they rarely can fund international students - wish I had known prior to applying! I also applied to McGill sociology, as there is a professor there that does criminology and focuses on police-citizen encounters, which is a research area of interest to me and is a really good fit. I think I have at least a few more weeks before I hear back from them.

Waiting is the worst. You will feel better though once you get your first acceptance! 

U Ottawa: They are letting me send in my application late! They are so nice! Good luck on your side as well! Keep me updated on your schools!

Has anyone else heard back from Penn State? I noticed a couple acceptances on the results, but no rejections. Is this because they accepted their “top applicants” first or is it that all acceptances were sent out only a few reported?

That’s awesome.

Has anyone else not heard back from all the programs they applied to? I feel like most people on this forum have heard from everyone and I'm getting a little frustrated.

I emailed the programs & they don’t respond or will just say that my application is in review...like, how long do y’all need to make a decision??!! SMH!

You heard back from Temple? *sigh* I'm pretty sure I got rejected but I just want them to tell me I got rejected instead of all this waiting. I already got into another program that I'm probably going to accept their offer, but it would be nice to have other options other than paying $35,000 to go to Northeastern for a year.

I meant more along the lines of GPA, GRE, Publications, Author, Research Experience... What are the other 8 programs you applied to?

Gotcha. GPA: 3.01

GRE: Verbal score was decent but math was low...due to my severe anxiety. 

Low GRE scores was the main reason why I didn’t get into MSU, ASU, Cincinnati & Albany. I straight up asked them! 

Research: Racism in the Criminal Justice system, Modern racism in the USA & cybercrime (Human trafficking).

Waiting on other schools:

UM, UCI, FSU, penn, RU, UCF, UL, FIU & UOttawa (Canada).

Still waiting for GSU, Penn State, Cincy, UL, and Florida. I'm convinced I was rejected by Penn State and Cincy since others have gotten their acceptance letters.
