You don't think emailing the grad coordinator/chair is too direct? Should I actually include an updated CV, or just let them know of the development? Thanks for the advice. What's wrong with being direct? I would email them directly and tell them your paper has been accepted for publication and that you hope they use that information in consideration of your application.

Katastrophe Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 @redhillgirl I'm mostly interested in quantitative modeling of violent crime data based on sociological factors, but recently I've started doing a little more with incarceration so who knows! It would be wonderful if Washington notified soon, even though they sent all those emails insisting they won't notify till February

It would be wonderful if Washington notified soon, even though they sent all those emails insisting they won't notify till February Our interests are super similar and we have a decent amount of applied programs in common, so that's cool. Did you find yourself in a predicament at all about whether or not to apply to criminology programs as well? I have never considered myself a criminologist, but the literature review for the paper I'm hoping to publish draws very heavily from criminology literature, so it was kind of a conundrum for me. I ended up compromising and applying to some sociology programs at schools with high-ranked criminology programs (and one criminology program that seems to be a perfect fit, and where there is a faculty member who had a super positive response when I e-mailed them).

mrbmrbmrb Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Temple waitlisted me. So much for getting good results first.

If so, I hope that someone declines their offer so you can get in! Meanwhile, I still haven't heard a peep. Expecting news (trying to mentally prepare for rejection so that acceptances are a nice surprise!) soon enough though. flatnwhite 1
mrbmrbmrb Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Not one of my top choices but still not a good feeling. At least the email told me I'm a qualified candidate, they just haven't secured funding for me. I am going crazy waiting to hear from UT Austin though, they sent out results around this time last year and no one has heard anything from them yet.

I'm glad they told you you were qualified, too! That's awesome. Same here with the waiting thing. *paces around grad cafe anxiously*

I just realized today that I forgot to send my official GRE scores to my safety school. Called admissions and they said no decisions have been made for the program yet, so I submitted them today and am praying they'll still consider me. Feel like I shot myself in the foot! Anticipating rejections too, and hoping for a surprise or two.

I talked to admissions and it's not a huge deal.
SocPhDreamer Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I know I saw some UCLA acceptances - does anybody know if there's still a chance they will be sending out more acceptances?

I guess they are done with the first round of admissions, and will be sending new ones when some of the admitted students reject their offers. For that you may have to wait until more top schools start announcing admission results. The same applies to me in the case of UC Irvine. It was a really really good fit. Fingers crossed.

UCLA admit here, they might send out more acceptances next week. But I also know that they are already planning the visit. It's a black box.

soc13 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I see a UCSB admit - congrats! Whoever it is, care to share your POI? (Feel free to PM if you'd prefer.) Anyone else apply there?
2016Applicant Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I applied to UCSB too! This waiting thing is horrific! Definitely think acceptances will be pouring in next week for UCSB and UCLA, according to the trends in previous years (estimating around 5 or 6 for UCLA and the bulk of UCSB).
gingin6789 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 I'm here waiting to hear from UC Davis! I'll join the UC waiting club!
SocPhDreamer Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I claim one of the UT Austin acceptances today! Congrats to all the other admits!

No idea what to make of it. Has anyone been accepted?!?
gingin6789 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Wow awesome! Congrats to all the UT Austin acceptances I saw on the board, including SpcPhdDreamer! *throws confetti* Weekend acceptances are awesome and give me hope!
Katastrophe Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Note to anyone still hoping for a UT-Austin Acceptance: I thought I was out the running since I didn't hear last night, but I just got an email. Curse you Results Search for spurring me to eat two whole Ben and Jerry's things by myself last night. redhillgirl and gingin6789 2
