zsoc Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Hi everybody! I got an acceptance email this evening from the University of Kansas for their sociology program! No word on funding yet, but they said the visit days are Feb 17 and 18. It's my first one of the season, and I'm very excited... 1 for 1 so far! (With 5 more yet to hear...) Let's try and keep this thread going as a running record of everyone's acceptances so we'll know where to look for good news as soon as we log on! Anyone else have any early acceptances??
raque Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I got into UNC - Chapel Hill! I'm just so happy that I have somewhere to go next year! Now just waiting on my other 6...
maximus82 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Congratulations to both of you. I was going through this same thing last year, and the year before! Once you have that first acceptance, everything seems so much better
Lizzla Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I'm accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill too! I also applied for a traineeship in their population center, but those won't be decided for a few weeks yet. Waiting to hear from 5 other programs, but not quite so anxiously now! Congratulations to everyone
socgraduate11 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Also got into UNC Chapel Hill Congrats to everyone!
Karlito Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Congrats to all accepted! Can the people accepted to UNC say a bit more about their profile? I am prospecting right now and UNC CH might be one of my top choices...

Anything specific you want to know beyond this stuff?

Anything specific you want to know beyond this stuff? Do you have any research experience or internships? I applied to UNC as well but haven't heard anything yet, which is probably bad. I think it was my AWFUL quant score.

I think it was my AWFUL quant score. I'm a bit non-traditional and I've been working full time in IT since I was 21 and dropped out of school. As a result I have a lot of experience with documentation, corporate culture, and teaching in front of large groups. I don't have any publications, but I have presented at a few conferences for both IT and soc stuff.
barilicious Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I've gotten accepted by UT-Austin, Ohio State, and Florida State - still waiting on 5 others...
apppk Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I've been admitted to Purdue. Has Purdue started sending acceptances? If you dont mind, can you share your profile? Did you apply for the Dec 15th deadline?
socgrad11 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Has Purdue started sending acceptances? If you dont mind, can you share your profile? Did you apply for the Dec 15th deadline? I think they've already sent some other acceptances by now, according to the record in here. I applied to the MS program with spcialty in religion and yes I had all my materials in by Dec.15.

Lizzla Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Congrats to all accepted! Can the people accepted to UNC say a bit more about their profile? I am prospecting right now and UNC CH might be one of my top choices... V:800 Q: 730 AW: 3.5 GPA overall: 3.91 GPA in soc: 4.0 I have two semesters' experience as a research assistant, plus I had to write an honors thesis (though it ended up not being in the area of soc. I'm actually going into.) Decent rec's, one from an alumni. For what it's worth, I went to a state school--decent but not top-tier. Some departments are nationally ranked, some aren't so great. The soc. department is strong and we've got some well-known faculty. Congrats again to everyone posting acceptances
SocCard Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Got into Iowa State. Notified via e-mail on 1/26
direshark Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Congrats to all admitted! I applied to UNC myself but have not heard back. Thinking it was a rejection, seeing the wave of acceptances. I did, however, receive an invitation to visit University of Notre Dame, all expenses handled by the university. Does anyone know if this is essentially an acceptance, or an interview? They did not mention the specific word "interview" in the email - only that they would like to get to know me better and so I can see what ND's department has to offer - so I'm not entirely certain what to expect. I am, however, pretty happy to begin admissions season on an optimistic note!
Lizzla Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I got into Penn State this morning Apparently they got an avalanche of applications because of the new NRC rankings and whatnot, and they're still sifting through them all...so for those of you waiting to hear back from Penn, don't assume the worst. It's probably going to take awhile for them to notify everyone.

It's probably going to take awhile for them to notify everyone. Was this a call to "discuss the status of your application"? Because I have one of those coming up soon and I'm curious if it means an acceptance!

Congratulations If you look at Penn in the results forum from last year, that's pretty much their MO. Or at least that's what I kept mentally repeating to myself in the 15 minutes before my phone was supposed to ring...LOL.
