bobolaba Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I have only heard of UT-Knoxville. They sent out acceptances to top applicants. They still have more slots to fill after their visit day from my understanding. Has anyone heard from Arizona, Vanderbilt, Northeastern, UConn, George Mason, Pittsburgh, or Notre Dame?

However, I already asked my supervisor to take a few days off for recruitment days at other schools, so I don't know if I'll be able to attend this one. I have to let Vanderbilt know by this Friday. How did you find out? I've been waiting to hear. I keep checking the status online and it still says "under committee review'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! I was invited too and am THRILLED. The nerves have already kicked in though too. They said they only invited 10 people. Isn't that typically how many they accept?

Someone posted on the results page that they were invited to interview about an hour before I received my interview so they may be sending them out one by one.

I honestly don't know how many people they are going to accept this year, but it looks like it's going to be a pretty small cohort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would decided based on what schools are most important to you. If Vanderbilt is more important than another school you wanted to visit than I would try to switch your off days. But I understand how difficult that can be. There's an entire week that I cannot be away from work, and I already know of at least one visitation day happening during that time. csot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been rejections, one of which posted that the e-mail read: "The Graduate Admissions Committee recently reviewed applications to the graduate program in Sociology at Notre Dame and created a shortlist of prospective candidates based on academic record, experience, and fit with our program. We regret to inform you that you were not selected as one of those candidates..." This makes me wonder what is the situation for those of us not contacted at all.

Based on past years it would seem that those of us who haven't heard are waitlisted or in a holding pool. Of course that's just conjecture until they let us know.

THS Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Anyone heard anything else from PennState? It looks like their process drags on a bit with slow rolling acceptance (from what people have posted in the past) but I just wondered. I know someone got a rejection in the mail last week but I've been watching the mail and nothing...Also wondering about University of Arizona and Austin (although I saw that someone e-mailed Texas yesterday and "news is coming". No news isn't bad news (as annoying as that is), but I'm getting restless this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sent an e-mail saying that our status was updated and then when you log on and click the link to view the application status, sign in, and there's another button with the letter. It says this if you are rejected: "On behalf of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I offer my sincere appreciation for your demonstrated interest in pursuing graduate studies at the University. Your application for admission has now been reviewed by the faculty of Sociology. With regret, I must inform you that it will not be possible to offer you admission to the Sociology program...." It goes on two more paragraphs about the rigor of getting in and fit. Hope this helps. shaodiao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't think anyone has been accepted to Vanderbilt yet. They invited applicants to come visit their campus and meet the faculty. They will make their final decisions toward the end of February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
