Brown Sociology

[odeta0227]

Anyone applied to Brown this year?

[entdeckung]

I applied! I haven't heard anything back though-- it seems like they may come out later though? 

[odeta0227]

It will come out, good luck to you mate!

I applied as well! Was kind of surprised that not many GCers seem to have Brown listed in their signatures.  I'm looking at political/economic sociology - what about you guys?

 

Good luck!

I'm hoping to focus on health/illness and organizations/occupations. 

 

Good luck to all!

Anyone have any inside info or reference to previous years about when visit days usually fall? I'm starting to plan my visit weekends and would hate to have a major conflict if I was to be admitted to Brown (which is easily one of my top choices).

Sadly I have no idea. I am also wondering about that for late-notification schools-- especially since it'd be convenient for schools clustered in certain areas to combine visits but it's difficult to plan if they space out their notifications substantially. Oh well!

Is anyone considering accepting their offer? As far as I know, the program is strong in three main areas: development, migration/urban, and environmental sociology. If I go there, I would probably focus on the sociology of development. I know, the ASA has a rather new section on development. What else can you tell me about the future of this area? Also, I would love to hear more about the department. I cannot attend the visiting event so I appreciate any opinion/advice you might want to give.
