Has anyone heard from Boston University Sociology PhD?? I saw an acceptance or two a while back but no waitlist or rejections are posted.  

 

Thanks :)

Has anyone heard anything about McGill's PhD program in Sociology? 

I got an acceptance via email on Feb 28th and the portal updated just now today. There are some acceptances posted on the result board too, for McGill Sociology

Thanks I just checked the portal and it says "in review". I hope that isn't the only batch of acceptances!

Has anyone heard from the Princeton Soc PhD program? I saw two admits but haven't received a rejection yet; from what I gathered in recent years, the acceptances and rejections all usually get sent out at around the same time?

Another Princeton question – has anyone heard from the Joint Degree Program (Sociology and Social Policy)?

BU already host an admitted student virtual event yesterday, but it seems like they also have a waitlist, hope that helps!

As someone that got in to Minnesota and Washington this year- I wouldn't waste a second year trying to get in to Washington. Their stipend is TINY, despite having a very high cost of living. In my opinion, I'm not sure people can actually afford to attend Washington without having to find other financial means. Additionally, in my experience, Minnesota is way better respected than Washington in Sociology, despite the fact Washington ranks a little higher right now. 

@awesome3141 I know you've gotten into a bunch of top programs (way to go!). Would you be willing to share how the funding packages compare? Did most places offer 1-2 years of fellowship? Did anyone guarantee RAships?

reached out to UVA, and the director of graduate admissions let me know that decisions should be going out by tonight! i'll take the lack of an explicit acceptance as a rejection. <3 good luck to all of you!

Very helpful! Any word on funding/stipends?

[the_blue_danube]

Hey! Is anyone else in this forum planning on accepting an offer from CU Boulder? I would love to connect if so:)

[wzzzzzz]

Now that most results are out, is it time for a "decision" thread?

Absolutely going crazy waiting for NYU lol

[Jujujujujujuju]

Received two rejection letters back to back today. Very sad.

[wzzzzzz]

Anyone hasn't heard back from Johns Hopkins? I saw both acceptances and rejections went out a while ago. All I want is closure.

saw someone posted an interview for JHU

I was wondering about that. I don't think they normally do interviews, especially not after the first wave of offers/rejections were out.

Yeah, hope it means something good. Seems that rejections are out, but no one declare waitlist or more offers.

I called NYU (unsurprisingly) and they said decisions were sent out Mon/Tues but to wait a week “just in case” ??? Lol don’t decisions either go out or they don’t? Also I was told that acceptances aren’t necessarily being sent out before rejections (or vice versa)

This sounds so confusing! It's like they have no idea what they are doing.

What the actual f*, I really don't understand hahah. My application status has been "submitted" since december 2021.

Hi y'all I was rejected by NYU. I really thought I had a good chance there, but it is what it is! Good luck to you all, I hope you make it to where you want to be! With this, I'm abandoning a US PhD, I'll be trying other places.

[deadinside]

A rejection for me as well, it was a disappointing season. Next year I'll try Europe as well. Good luck to everyone!
