hobokennojokin Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The first duke post aka "vindication and relief" was from me. Super excited. Received an email from from Duke University Graduate School notifying me to check my status by logging in with my ID and PIN. Not a message from the DGS or a POI but an acceptance nonetheless! Likely to hear from them in the coming days I imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odeta Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Anybody want to claim the Duke one? I also received am email from Duke's Grad Web account today, but it's just a normal application status email starting with "****This message will be sent on a regular basis, whether your application is complete or not, until you have received a final decision on your application. If you have already received an admissions decision letter from Duke University Graduate School, please disregard this message.****", so I think I am rejected ~disappointed, one of my dream school~ and congrats to those who got in~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socscholar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Something to consider when choosing a program.... http://orgtheory.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/cool-language-map-of-the-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisSlumgullionIsSoVapid Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Something to consider when choosing a program.... http://orgtheory.wor...map-of-the-day/ haha it gets under my skin whenever I hear someone refer to it as "Pop" just doesn't sound right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocHope Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Oddly enough, looking at the map makes me feel provincial for using "soda." Then again, maybe the people who responded to that survey just had very, very strong opinions about what soda ought to be called. "It's tonic, gol' durn it!"

I would kind of be surprised if I got rejected considering my contact with a POI (I won't get into the details). That said, I've come to terms with a rejection to save myself some disappointment. I may be a little too critical of myself, but I think I could have written a much better SOP, and my quant skills are not really reflected in any number or grade, but in my 5 years in research. We'll find out soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll find out soon enough! I'm in the same boat with my quant skills. Hoping that 5 years out, all in research and data analysis, will make up for that one stats grade where I was too arrogant to come to class :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeaphd Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I don't know if it helps or hurts, but I have it on good info (personal contact in the SOC dept) that USC has made it's choices and is busy setting up funding for the 10 people they accepted this year! It's more acceptances than in the last couple of years, so good luck all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sociology27 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 On the USC front, does that mean that they've notified people already? Or are they securing funding before letting anybody know? I like USC a lot, so if you could answer this I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeaphd Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 They wait to secure funding. Shouldn't be too long now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovasky Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Think we get some news today? I think Washington and Ann Arbor are pretty close to being ready, and UC-Boulder is going to be on the 14th/15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MashaMashaMasha Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think the grad program folks at UW - Seattle generally don't work on Fridays, so we may not hear anything today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RefurbedScientist Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Anyone heard anything about interviews at Harvard this year? According to the results survey, it looks like interview invitations happened around this time last year. Also, wannabeaphd, I see you've been accepted to Irvine. Congrats! Not sure if you already posted elsewhere in this or other threads, but when did you hear and from whom? That is, if you don't mind sharing.
