lucky_stars Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Does anyone know about Rice's program? It's not as discussed as some of the others, so I can't even try to ease my anxiety ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ado9 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I was invited this week to Northeastern's open-house for top sociology phd applicants---- what type of activities/questions should I expect going into this two day event? What types of questions are important to consider when interviewing about a potential programs fit? There is very little information given, i'd like to go in as prepared as possible.

Is there a change in your application status? I wasn't invited and it shows "Under committee review" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the second one. They only mentioned that it was forthcoming, no date. However I plan to be in contact with my POI soon, so if they let me know a more official date/if I receive anything I can report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its a rejection for others then, if they were not contacted. quietsoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there are acceptances already and I haven't received anything so I have no hope from these. Same here! I can hardly get any work done! Each notification on the results page is like a shock! And gradcafe has a lot of trolls which again makes me question all the posts. Nevertheless its traumatic! After 17 applications , each rejection is giving me a sense of impending doom!

I'm fairly positive I will be getting rejected from WashU, as those acceptance notices were sent by the department, which stings a lot because it will be my first. However, I haven't received a formal rejection yet, and it sounds like you haven't either, so don't get too down! You never know what might happen! (I say this, although I'm struggling to not be anxious, sad, or scared myself!) I think I've checked my application and login portals probably 1,000 times every day for the past week and a half! toolkitsocio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolkitsocio Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Well well well! First official rejection of the season! I was excited for a moment when I saw my status change from Committee review to final review. Upon scrolling down I found a status update! Gone in 6 seconds!

lkaitlyn Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 As we prepare to enter a 3ish week period with tons of decisions from some crazy difficult schools, I just want to send positive thoughts to everybody. No matter what happens these next few weeks, let's try to remember this process has so much about it that's arbitrary — it's not a reflection of our intelligence or worth. ♥️ DeadAccount, PoliticalSociology, toolkitsocio and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into my first choice for undergrad and it was the most miserable four years of my life. Sometimes rejections can be a blessing.
