lkaitlyn Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) For future applicant reference, Princeton Sociology announced they will not admit a cohort this coming year. If you're making lists of potential schools to apply to in the fall, make sure you check every so often for updates on this coming year, as some other schools could follow.

THS Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 It looks like some programs will still admit students, but that this cycle will be highly competitive due to an even smaller number of spots. Just wanted to share. Not sure what my own program is doing, if they are reducing the cohort size or skipping a year- either way I'll post it to this board when they announce. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/06/01/some-departments-plan-suspending-or-limiting-graduate-cohorts-year-or-longer-free

Ghostu Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 JHU is accepting applications for 2021, also Northwestern has paused applications till Oct 28th, the official notice says that they are still deciding whether or not to admit students for 2021.

Awesome! Glad JHU reversed course. Edited October 2, 2020 by lkaitlyn
lkaitlyn Posted October 4, 2020 Author Posted October 4, 2020 Not going to update the list for this since they're still deciding, but U of Arizona and UCI also still figuring out whether or not they're taking apps. I'll update both of those situations when they (hopefully) announce later in October.

THS Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Washington State University will not be recruiting a new cohort. Internal e-mail confirmed this morning. There is a statement on the WSU Sociology homepage, but the prospective student webpage has not been updated (and it is unclear if it will be updated as a lot of the department's web presence is out of date).

Planted Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Just received an email from Brandeis stating admission to sociology PhD is paused for 2021. I don’t see anything posted on the website yet and I tried to post a screenshot of the email but it was too big. Could try DMing it if someone is interested. Eleven days before the application deadline. I thought we’d be out of the woods by now.
Soc_Gen23 Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 I received an email from University of Colorado-Boulder that they are suspending admission for the Sociology PhD in Fall 2021 and will resume in 2022. https://www.colorado.edu/sociology/apply#graduate_students-109

cec2021 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Anyone interested in starting a list of schools taking a smaller cohort than normal if we hear about them? I've seen some public health PhD programs post notices about this.

If you have others in mind, happy to add a second list to the not accepting list!

Back in November, I have also received email from UMinn that they also reduced cohort to only few demographers for the cycle.
