Applying with an M.A. in Sociology

[pinoysoc]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if people had experiences with getting into a PhD program with a master's degree in Sociology? I'm just a bit puzzled that only a few classes will be taken into consideration for the PhD. program. Were you guys set back? Or ahead? Did you have to redo some classes when starting the PhD program? Also, did you end up doing/getting another MA/MS along the way? What are your experiences?

Looking forward to your stories!

Commenting to follow as I have a MSc from a UK university (though I'm applying to US schools). If anyone has any thoughts on the transition, I'd love to hear them!
