cranky Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I didn’t, but only because they gave us a form to accept our spot on the waitlist and the email itself was p generic as well saffasrass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforgreat Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I did because the email asked me to let them know if I would like to remain on the waitlist. If the program is one of your top choices, I think you should respond and let them know that you're still interested. saffasrass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super12345 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Claiming the Harvard acceptance! I'm honored, and a bit shocked. It seems that the people accepted to the standalone sociology program have all been notified, but that may not be true for the joint programs (Social Policy, etc.).

Sq1990 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Does anyone know anything about UCI USC or UCBerkeley? im pretty sure UCriverside isn’t going to say much until later. but yeah those are the 4 schools I’m waiting for. I already got rejected by UCSD and PennState. I’m getting a bit numb officially by the rejections. anyone hurting out there, just know you’re not alone ?? saffasrass, donaldduckheim, socsci14 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldduckheim Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Has anyone else had an interview with the Minnesota Population Center for the UMN joint program?

For UCBerkeley, I applied to the demographics and sociology program For USC, UCI, and UCriverside, I applied to their Sociology programs. I had heard USC’s SOCs program actually hadn’t announced anything and that it would do so during this week. But that was based on someone who posted a while back so it could be wrong info etc. anyhoo, you’re right. My sis and all my mentors have told me that it ain’t over until end of March and even then you sometimes get emails from universities stating a spot opened up etc. fingers crossed. ?????

I was told that UCR's committee is still reviewing applications. They were supposed to be finished this week but who knows when we will actually find out. Best of luck!

My mentor told me pretty much the exact same thing today when I was telling her all of my plans for when I don't get in (I was very upbeat about it), the jobs I am applying for, and the extra programs I can submit applications for because they have later deadlines. She pretty much said that in two weeks we could be having a completely different conversation because I very well may get in somewhere. Just because this cycle is strange doesn't mean inevitable I won't get in though at times it may feel that way. I just happened to apply to programs that send out decisions a bit later so it feels weird when so many have heard from schools and I haven't gotten a decision since my first one over two weeks ago. The Berkeley demography department is so incredibly cool. My mentor went there and the set up of their program is what really drew me to them. With the weirdness of this cycle quite literally anything could happen. Sq1990, saffasrass and LMSoc 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scheduled a chat with one of my letter writers to discuss backup plans last Monday, then woke up to an interview request the following morning. You really never know! We just have to try our best to be patient, as hard as it may be. I've been doing my best to throw myself into work and research, but it's hard when my outstanding applications are living in my head rent free. gforgreat, LMSoc, PopStudies and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belief_in_jerks Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Does anyone know anything about Yale? I know some people were interviewed several weeks ago while I heard nothing from them.

Qahwwaa Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 15 hours ago, joona said: Heya Applied to Johns Hopkins but not expecting anything since they're probably going to admit around 4 people this year. But results were announced around 18-19th feb for the last few years so we still have a few days to go + pandemic related issues such as higher number of apps might also effect the timeline.. Either way, we still have a few days to go in my opinion.. 16 hours ago, LMSoc said: I have not heard or seen anything about Johns Hopkins Sociology, but noticed other similar programs have been posted on the results page. My guess is they got bombarded with apps, and with their program already running small cohort-wise, it might be a harder decision cycle for them (I also applied but don't anticipate any acceptance due to competition). I think that's what has slowed down so many programs- all the programs who didn't have a F'21 admissions cycle are now pushing even more applications their way and they're trying to strategize cohorts accordingly to fill spots offered (# of folks who accept offers and matriculate in). Sorry this isn't more helpful! Just checked results page and seems like someone's got an offer. I haven't heard from my POI at JHU at all, and as you both said, they anyway admit a very small cohort. Hope you both have better luck than mine AwesomeWilliam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihankg Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hello all, I am waitlisted in UC San Diego. Is there anyone who has some insights or any kind of information about the likelihood that the waitlisted applicants are eventually admitted or rejected? So far, I only got waitlist status. This is why I feel a bit dumped. As you already know waiting process is really tiresome. So any kind of insight or insider information is very well appreciated. Best of luck to those who are still waiting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked their program and kind of sweet to see that they're calling folks to share the news, but I knew from the start the chances of getting in where quite slim. Good luck to everyone else!

I just hope it's swift like a band-aid But also, @Qahwwaa why would the coordinator say end of Feb though. They aren't taking that many candidates for it to be in phases..strange LMSoc and Qahwwaa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
