night wind Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I emailed the secretary last week. She said the committee has started to meet and they would make the decisions soon. The admission results of Cornell sociology were out Feb 16th last year. So let's wait and see... Good luck. Anyone heard anything from Cornell?

carolina45 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Anyone heard anything from Cornell? Would any of the people who have heard from Cornell mind providing any possible details?? Cohort size? Visiting weekend? Whether they're done releasing acceptances? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjastrudel Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Would any of the people who have heard from Cornell mind providing any possible details?? Cohort size? Visiting weekend? Whether they're done releasing acceptances? Thanks! hi, i posted the first acceptance to the results. sorry for any stress that my post may have induced. i received a personal email from a prof i know, so i think i was a special case. though he mentioned that an official email would follow later in the day (yesterday), i am yet to receive it. this leads me to believe that they haven't officially released the results yet, so no reason to think bad thoughts yet. i'll post an update here when i receive the official letter. best of luck to you!

ENOON Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I found that some applicants recieved an interview from them. Does it mean you fail if you do not have such an interview?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subang Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hey this is helpful, in a way Coz i was stressing over this a lot. Does anyone have any idea about the funding package, size of the cohort? anything? for development sociology that is. I emailed the department and they responded saying that their final meeting is scheduled for next week and that we should hear from them shortly after that. Through personal correspondence with a PA, I learned that the department only has one first-year financial aid package available, but they do have a variety of other sources such as FLAS and IGERT funding. Anyone else apply for the IGERT funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010international Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 She told me I would hear by the end of the day yesterday, but I didn't get anything! Well according to the results search one person already received decision notification about development sociology in response to an email they sent. So I suppose decisions will be emailed soon to everyone. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolina45 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I just received an email rejection. It was a form email but did say "Dear [my first and last name]". It was signed by the chair of the graduate committee, Victor Nee, but came from a different email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcsoc Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I see that a lot of email rejections went out over the last few days, but I still have not heard anything. I emailed the graduate field liaison on Monday, and I realize that it is probably a busy time, but I haven't heard anything at all through the whole process. I am sort of just waiting for a paper rejection at this point, but I am at a loss why I did not get an email like so many seem to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus82 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) anybody want to claim the Dev Soc acceptances in the results page? Edited March 11, 2010 by maximus82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m102010 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I was accepted. The email said that they cannot offer funding at this time. They should have more information sometime in late summer, but there is no funding for students right now. That's too bad for their program. I'm sure this will deter a lot of competitive applicants. The email didn't say anything about cohort size, notifications, or no. of accepted students. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email didn't say anything about cohort size, notifications, or no. of accepted students. Sorry. I was accepted as well and my email said pretty much the same thing. While they didn't mention the cohort size they did say that the competition was extremely intense (though I guess that holds for most doctoral programmes). I just assumed that their point about the funding may be a polite way of saying that I wasn't as competitive as the other accepted students (who I assume would be offered some funding at least). I had corresponded with a prof there while applying and she too had raised the issue of funding and how they were having cutbacks. Good luck to the rest!

maximus82 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 congratulations to both of you! Did you guys feel like it was just a generic email and that everyone received the same thing, or was it personalized to some extent? I'm just curious. I don't know if I should give or keep hitting "refresh" every 5 minutes on my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
