Got dinged by 6 schools during the last cycle, so I’ve applied to 9 this year, and really hoping that it works out. Long time lurker, first-time poster. The anxiety is killing me! I really wish you the best. You will do it this time! Have you heard from any school yet? thedudeabides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtDonut Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'm just unsubscribing from all the spam emails I get because every time I get one, I hope it's a decision notification. thetrailblazers and OBforme 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina_12138 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Can anyone claim the admit from UW or University of Notre Dame? I have emailed to POI and got to know I was not on the shortlist of interview. So sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Rutgers - where I've been interviewed as well. Probably been rejected by USC, UCSB and Arizona since I haven't heard from any of them yet. Waiting on UCSD, RPI (STS), Cornell (STS), UW-Milwaukee, BU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antioxidant17 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I'm going crazy here, especially because I keep getting generic recruitment emails from grad departments I didn't apply to. I'm guessing I probably didn't get into USC or Minnesota as I haven't heard anything yet :/ My only consolation is that it's like -40 in Minnesota right now.

socquant Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hello again, congrats to everyone who has been accepted to some of their schools Nice to have some movement in this community. Got accepted at University of Arizona (great department fit) and University of Iowa. My gpa is not great (3.2), so if you find this wondering if you will be able to go to grad school, don't sell yourself short. Strengthen your application elsewhere (experience, writing, LORs) and give it a go. You never know. Still waiting on CUNY (to above poster, I haven't heard anything) and Northwestern. Good luck everyone! mighettio, msers, markhame and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck everyone! I got into the University of Iowa as well! What are you hoping to study and are you going to be attending the visit day? What is your top choice? Also, I agree with this sentiment, I have a good GPA (3.77) but a horrible GRE score, so yes don't sell yourself short! But congrats on your acceptances! I'm sure you'll get into more. socquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Congrats, sincerely. I did an internship there and they have a great and supportive department. I go to school in Iowa (Grinnell!) so I will definitely be at the visit day. My top choice is Northwestern given its resources for quantitative sociologists, but I am very open to all of the choices I have and do not believe it will be an easy one to make, especially because Iowa is offering fellowships and things. I look forward to seeing you there and good luck with the rest of the cycle! Where else are you considering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baozi Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Has anyone gotten funding specifics from UT Austin yet? It is one of my top choices, so I’m anxious to see whether I can make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the financial aid tab of the status portal it says check back in 2 weeks? Not sure if that's related to funding or they're just processing my FAFSA??

The letters attached to the admission letter don't mention funding. Edit: also a professor I spoke with there last year told me funding is not great. PhDStipends.com has a few entries that seem okay.

I guess we are all in the same boat then. I just want to know haha. I checked PhDStipends.com to get an idea before I applied. It looks do-able, but tight which is why I am anxious about getting the real numbers. Hopefully it stays in the do-able range! I have a phone call arranged with a POI there. I’ll let you guys know if I get any more specifics about funding timelines! mighettio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docsoc Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) long time lurker here. curious, do the schools sponsor you to come for visit day?

One school offered mention of a stipend for transport/etc. I assume that’s typical but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
