Good Chance at a Top 20 Sociology Program?

Recommended Posts

Hello all! I'm very interested in pursuing a Sociology PHD program, but because of the tough job market would want to attend only a top 20 program. 

I have an anthropology degree from UCLA with a 3.0 GPA. Later I went to a top 20 Law School and graduated with a 3.4 GPA. On my GRE I got a 170 V, 148 Q, and 5.5 Writing. I've submitted one article for review and am working on another. I hope that they would be both ready by the time I  apply. My concern is that despite protestations that all aspects of an application are considered, my low undergraduate GPA and low quant score will derail my application.

I'm mostly interested in how the interactions between legal and popular conceptions of race interact. Particularly when they are in conflict. I'm also interested in doing ethnography of non-religious groups. I don't think this would be heavily quantitive.
