bigafrodacademic Posted February 5 Posted February 5 hey everyone! I applied to lowkey a lot of schools lol so no good listing them all lol, but I heard back from Stanford, UChicago, UNC, and UCLA. Does anyone know if UC Berkeley does interviews / interviews all accepted applicants?

And even though Stanford has sent out a bunch of acceptances and rejections… I’m still waiting on them too. 😩 Only one I have heard from was UPenn, which I got accepted to! Very relieved and happy with Penn, but anxiously awaiting other results. Congratulations! Only heard back from one as well - rejection from Stanford. Waiting on Berkeley; University of Washington; and BU. Starting to get the sinking feeling that I'm going to strike out this round!

ayitao Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Berkeley has traditionally released decisions around this time, and I'm getting antsy

sociodriw22 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Anyone here from Brown yet? The past 2 years they released decisions early February but I haven't seen anything yet..

I just saw a post from Brown. It seems that they are sending out all admissions today... Best luck everyone!
bigafrodacademic Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) yes, I j heard back from Brown! They sent an email from the portal and then I got an email from the grad admissions coordinator. I hope you hear good news!! Edited February 5 by bigafrodacademic

I guess I am rejected since I haven't heard of anything from Brown. I will wait for Johns Hopkins then...

hgemini Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Got to this post late but hi! I'm doing sociology for most of my schools so I applied to: UC Berkeley - no word yet Ohio State - accepted! UW - no word yet Northeastern - interview! Pitt - no word yet Very anxious about UW and Pitt, those are definitely up there in my rankings, but fingers crossed!! I have been trying SO hard to be optimistic but sometimes GC makes me get ansty, especially when looking at previous decision releases.

Fingers crossed for UW; Pitt; and Berkeley! Feels like Berkeley could come any day now and based on previous years acceptances and rejections come only a few days apart so whatever the outcome hopefully we're not left in the dark for long. UW looks like it doesn't send rejections until quite late. hgemini 1

Stalking the portals has become so tiring, I have been getting my emails at the end of the work day in America - as late as 10pm so I can't even imagine timing in the UK 🙃 4 hours ago, bigafrodacademic said: omg congratulations on OSU! that’s such a good school!!

ayitao Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I feel every other Soc department is moving faster this year while Berkeley is taking longer... such an agonising wait

I guess that's a factor yes. I am a re-applicant and my GRE scores from last year was automatically attached to my application for this year and I had no way of removing it. Unfortunately stuck with some average test scores

Also, anything from CU Boulder? Hi - if you're still waiting on UIC, I got accepted there on Monday (2/5).

JDPhD Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Hi everyone! I was accepted to UT Austin on Monday (Feb 5), but am still waiting on the following: UC Berkeley (it seems we’re all waiting on them lol), Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Princeton, and Northwestern. Has anyone heard anything about any of these programs? I don’t believe any of them do interviews, and, besides Northwestern (who said decisions will be released the week of 2/19), none of the other schools have given an exact date by which decisions will be made (at least I don’t think).

2BeeOrNot2Bee Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Rutgers just sent out their results. Received an email that I have been rejected. Apparently they have a top 30 candidate list and will be conducting a second round of reviews based on that shortlist.

Neither can I, but it won't stop me from doomscrolling and excessively checking my email/the portal!! haha all of my pending programs have taken longer than their averages from previous years and it's definitely because of this as well, I do appreciate the time they are taking but my goodness am I anxious!!
