One question, did the letter state the program was "Sociology and Demography"? Expand I don't know about song95, but I got my official acceptance letter today and all that they've listed on my acceptance letter was "Sociology" despite my filling out the application materials for the dual degree with Demography. If it helps when I did my interview with Prof. Hardy she said that my research would benefit from the demography program so I'm guessing she at least knew I wanted the dual degree.

Expand Ok, thank you. Yes, I also stated my interest in the dual program to two of my interviewers, and also got a letter that said "Sociology" only. I suppose the "Demography" part will come later =) Worktime Calzone 1
mcpphu Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Has anyone heard from Michigan, Princeton, or Harvard yet? Sounds like they should be notifying people soon hopefully?

Princeton seemed to do waves so it may be awhile before we find out. mcpphu 1

Michigan is my undergrad institution, so I have friends in the department and it doesn't seem like anything has gone out from there. They seem to be a late notifier in most departments. theorynetworkculture and mcpphu 2

It seems like every year there is just one round of acceptances. Is it safe to assume if you weren't accepted it's a wait for MAPSS or bust? If any Chicago acceptees/intervieews have a feel, let us know. Thanks and happy weekend! Expand The impression I got from my interviewer is that 30-35 were shortlisted for interviews, and that offers to ~20-25 have been made. I don't know if there may be a latter wave of offers. Apologies if I'm being the bearer of bad news.
Worktime Calzone Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 People who checked their University of Wisconsin - Madison applications, where did you find your acceptance/rejection status? I'm looking right now and all I can figure out is that my application was completed haha
soc2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 @theorynetworkculture no need to apologize, thanks for the insight and congrats!

There's a different system for accessing results.

Pretty annoyed by the lack of courtesy as well: I paid some good money for that application. Wasn't the best fit for me, to be honest. Congratulations to those that got accepted though, it's a great program. Here's hoping for better news from the rest of the schools. Expand This is one of the programs that I actually thought was one of my better fits so it's been the toughest rejection to take so far for me. But congrats to everybody who got good news from them today!
WorldPeaceMaker2010 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Oh follow-up to my post yesterday when I got an informal dept. letter saying I was going to be admitted at Uconn. Right now I nice email from one of the profs that I had said I would like to work with. Basically just a congrats from her, saying she just heard the news and was excited to work with me, and had been very impressed with my application, and to contact her if I had questions or wanted to come visit soon. I know a few years ago the dept. didn't have such a great reputation, but I've heard only good things in the last few years... and honestly both my emails so far have been really nice and welcoming. Anyone know any current street rumors about the dept.? Edited February 3, 2017 by WorldPeaceMaker2010
