Quantitative Sociology, Ideas?

[graddamn]

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to this site, but I could use some advice. I'm interested in quantitative sociology, I find methods fascinating, but I am having some difficulty finding sociology departments specializing in quantitative methods outside of demography centers. Substantively, most interested in medical sociology and reporting of sensitive information. My stats if that helps...

3.63/3.89 (in major) top 10 university, strong sociology department

Honors Sociology Major/Political Science Major

2 University Honors Programs - 1 w/ summer grant funding

2 years research working on quantitative research studies.

3 grad classes taken in field so far

GREs 760Q/ 590V/5AW (Verbal is terrible, I know!)

LORS - 1 good from post doc/supervisor of research, 1 AMAZING from thesis adviser who is also well known and respected in field, 1 Unknown- should be good

SOP - Pretty strong. Everyone and their mother has read it

Writing Sample- Senior thesis proposal. I am excited about it...

So far, I've applied to:

UPenn

Penn State

Vanderbilt

Brown

University of Michigan

University of Wisconsin

University of Arizona

So the question....should I apply to more schools? Any program suggestions? This is last minute but I got paranoid that I hadn't applied widely enough.

Have you thought about OSU? And I don't think Vanderbilt is terrible quantitative when it comes to medical sociology.

I wanted to say terribly instead of terrible. Sorry.

Check out indiana as well. They have lots of people doing medical sociology and they are extremely strong quantitatively.
