kbirch Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Hey, I'm pretty sure that Loyola hasn't sent out acceptances yet, but, for those of you applying, do you already have a Masters in sociology? I know they prefer people come in with one but I'm wondering what the applicant pool looks like.
lexicana Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I applied there and also don't have a Masters in sociology but do have a Masters in another discipline. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. From what I know about Loyola they accept a small number of students. I believe that last year they only accepted four students. So even though it is not a top ranked program it is competitive given the small number of spots available. Also I noticed that they only send out rejections/acceptances via snail mail. It looks like results are trickling in for other disciplines. My assumption is that we will know this week...eeeek!
kbirch Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 I just called about Loyola... The decisions have been made and letters will be going out at the end of the week. I think that accepted students may be getting emails, though, so it looks like Chicago's out for me. :-( Has anyone heard anything else?
lexicana Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I sent an email inquiry out today because I couldn't wait any longer. I have not gotten a reply yet (it's been 1 hour). Why do you think that accepted individuals will get an email and why do you think you are out?
kbirch Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 I had asked last week or the week before if we'd be emailed or called and she said "probably email" over the phone. And she asked my name today and told me I'd be getting a letter in about a week. : / We were told that we'd be getting letters regardless though, in the original application. I dunno, hopefully we'll both get some good luck this week!!!
lexicana Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Ahhhhh, I just want to know already! Thanks for sharing the info. I will let you know if I get a response to my inquiry. Good luck to you!
lowery Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Hey guys, I also applied to Loyola for Sociology. It was a bit of a stretch because I'm in Criminal Justice/Criminology, but the letter I received today was a rejection. :| Hope ya'll fared better than I.

Loyola was my last shot. Oh well.
lexicana Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I'm so sorry guys. No letter for me yet but I did get a response to my email inquiry which stated that I should receive an update within the next couple of days. I'm trying not to speculate. At this point I think it could go either way. At least I will know soon.
lexicana Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I got my letter today and it was a waitlist. Now that I have all my results I will be accepting an offer that was at the top of my list anyway. The waiting is finally over!
thatsociologist Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Got my letter today. Rejection. Good luck to everyone else.
UndecidedMan Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 For the people getting rejected...what were your stats like?
