ts1493 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Congrats Michigan admits!! Such great news ...
gordyn Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Claiming a rejection from UM Ann Arbor -- a little surprised I was accepted at UW Madison and rejected at UM Ann Arbor.. oh well! The rejection email went into the "Promotions" tab of my gmail (9:27am PST) -- so I didn't actually get a notification on my phone or anything. So glad I got an acceptance before this flood of rejections -_-.

My rejection from Emory went to the Updates tab of Gmail ... so I didn't get a notification either that day!

Like internet board communities (like this), or like online gaming communities?

I think it is probably a "fit" thing -- UM doesn't have a specific focus with a crossover between emerging technologies and social theory like UW does. Thinking back to the sticky'd AMA -- it seems like fit really is a very major consideration for programs as tiny as sociology programs tend to be. Even though my stats are fair, the fit wasn't great. Luckily, I elated to attend UW - Madison -- but if I had to do another round of applications, I'd spend a lot more time thinking about fit and a lot less worrying about school ranking.

Shay825 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Just received an email from one of my professors, asking me to be her TA again this semester. YAY! My favorite professor by far and so easy to work with. Nice to have a little bit of good news amidst this gloom of non-activity on the admissions end of things. Also doesn't hurt to have the modest extra income. soc13 1
c11m07 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I'm a teacher and had to call out sick Wednesday and Thursday (which is torturous in itself) and then we had a snow day today. Way too much time cooped up = checking email and the results boards obsessively. Haven't heard a peep from the four schools I applied to, though they don't tend to send out admits until mid February. This waiting is killing me.

Shay825 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Just emailed Vanderbilt to inquire when we might begin to receive notifications. Stay tuned....

Shay825 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 When your phone *dings*, indicating a new email, and you trip over your own feet in a mad dash to check for an admission notice and bang your funnybone against your desk...then find out it was just junk mail. *SMH!* Shamon 1

If you make it to our list of candidates for admission (we do not make offers immediately, but choose candidates and invite them to come to visit us), you will know by mid-February. We notify most rejections by late February, but we keep a lot of people in limbo for a while, because you never know."
