Not obsessing at all but I noticed that on the second Friday of 2018 they admitted two people to UCLA, so I had been wondering whether they would be doing the same this year lol. Maybe it is just a coincidence that the first UCLA admit two years in a row was on the second Friday of January. Congratulations!

It looks like last year they rolled their acceptances out over a period of longer than a month, so don't get too anxious yet! There's still plenty of time. What are your research interests? Where else did you apply? Edited January 13, 2019 by sociopolitic

I've actually thought about how if I find out that I got into a good program while I'm at work I think I would leave and take the rest of the day off. Just the day though, not forever lol. Kinda like how people who win the lottery walk out of work...Getting into a good program would literally be even better than winning the lottery in my eyes. I enjoy the people I work with and my job position in general, but it is not in my interest area so it is difficult for me to feel passionate about the work that I do. I know.. it would be indeed better and it seems to be a terrible time to quit (as i wait for the results) but what's the point in doing something you really don't care about.

Where else did you apply? Yes, there is a whole other month to be anxious.... haha, but yes, i've applied to 8 programs including UNC, UoT and Princeton. i'm interested in the sociology of work & the city. What about you? was UCLA one of your top preferences? you can officially relax then!

Looking forward to hearing back from other programs. What are your research interests? I'm curious whether maybe they were trying to fill a niche with their admits last week. For instance, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity to get involved with the department's working groups in computational sociology and knowledge/cognitive systems, and anticipate my work having a political/cultural bent to it.

UCLA is in a three-way tie for best fit of the places I applied to, so I'm pretty hype! Breathing a little easier now, lol. Edited January 14, 2019 by sociopolitic artvandaley and polsgonesoc 2

My focus is on political and urban sociology/social movements. @sociopolitic, to your question, I expressed a strong interest in the Movements, Organizations, and Markets working group and the Political Sociology and the Global South group. I had also met and spoken with the grad department chair a number of times, as his interests align closely with mine.
Soc_foucault Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 what is everyone doing to keep busy while they wait? i graduated with my bachelor's last month, so now i seem to have much more free time to worry about grad school apps Sercan_ 1
sociopolitic Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Congrats to the Temple admit!!! Can anyone here claim it?
sluggerotoole Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Just got an email from POI at USC - didn't invite me for interview or offer acceptance though! Hopefully it's a good sign!! ? socchi92, Sercan_ and jriveracal 3

I thought this period would be chiller than when I was actually doing the applications, but nope.

What are your research interests? This board is so interesting - most of the schools that have at least started contacting students are the only 3 I applied for (UCLA, Irvine, USC).

gradgirrrl Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Hi all, I really delayed participating in this board because I was worried I would jinx myself (lol). I'm currently getting my MPhil at Cambridge in Sociology and am interested in reproduction & migration. Shaking in my boots over the UCLA admits going out and keeping my fingers crossed. My biggest app weakness is my GRE scores so I'm hoping I don't just get tossed out based on those alone. Love & solidarity during this particularly painful waiting time! sociocritic, socchi92 and jriveracal 3

Glad to see I'm not the only one shitting bricks about the UCLA admits so far lol. Are you applying to UCLA as an international student or are you originally from the U.S and went to study at Cambridge?

I had emailed this POI when I applied in 2016 (and they were at another university) and not heard anything back until now, so fingers crossed it's positive! Still no indication of whether this means anything in terms of my application and haven't heard from the university, so don't take it to mean anything in terms of your application, as it doesn't seem that they've sent any offers etc out yet!

sociopolitic Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 The results board's been updated with an acceptance at UC Irvine! Can anyone here claim it?

That is a fascinating research interest - and incredibly timely! USC would be a great place to pursue it. My interests are around the economic/political/social consequences of the recession - particularly how these three issues factor into people's identity around work. SOMEBODY TAKE ME!! ? jriveracal 1
Esenabla Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 congrats to the two who posted their invites to visit day at notre dame! do either of you (or anybody here) know if they're done sending out invites? if so, should not receiving one (my case, as of now) be interpreted as a rejection? this may be an overly-optimistic thought, but i live pretty far away from the university, so i thought that distance could possibly be a factor as to who is offered the invite and who isn't
sociopolitic Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 Another Irvine acceptance is on the results board. Can anyone claim it? Congrats to the lucky admit!!
jriveracal Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Me every time I see I have a new email but it's just my work asking me to do something. mighettio, artvandaley and socchi92 2 1
