Brown Sociology

[dsmiles]

So excited about my recent acceptance to Brown, my top choice! I was wondering if anyone here can claim the other acceptances and, if so, are you going to accept the offer or do you have your sights on another department? Would love to get in touch!

congratulations!

those of us who weren't accepted would like to hear a little bit about your profile to help tell us if we have a shot in the future, if you don't mind.

I can't manage to log into the Embark system or restore my password (which I still think must be correct because I used the same one for all apps). I keep getting fail message. The support people aren't answering my emails and the grad administrator didn't bother to release the info. Any thought as to what I should do?

Hi!

@Flowerblitz, I would contact either Karl Dominey (karl_dominey@brown.edu) the Student Affairs Coordinator or Susan Short (susan_short@brown.edu) the Director of Graduate Studies in Sociology and let them know the website isn't working for you. Before emailing, I would try again to restore the password- that has worked for me in the past! Sometimes, the website is a bit fussy.

In terms of my profile, I have a masters in public health, teaching and research assistant experience, independent research projects as an undergraduate, 3.57 gpa undergrad, 3.78 gpa grad, low quant. GRE, but good grade in statistics course, one publication in progress. I was also in close contact with a few professors whose research directly aligned with my interests ex. transition to adulthood in Ethiopia, and reproductive health in SSA.

They reset my password. I'm in!

I'm one of the acceptances. I'm going to go. Its a pretty slamming financial deal and the department is a great fit in terms of interests.

Hi mmurphy! I officially accepted the offer as well, see you in the fall!
