pinoysoc Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Anyone claiming the Irvine "touching base" result. Lol. I'm pretty sure others who applied would love to hear what's going on!
socstudentzzz Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I can claim the Irvine interview. Praying it goes well, it's my first choice. Hopefully others will start getting good news as well. Sending positive vibes to y'all! travelmug1Q84 and pinoysoc 2

Or was it from the department itself (I applied to Irvine and I haven't heard anything, yet I think it's a good fit for my work)?

manofthehoff Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) The UC Irvine "touching base" interview entry was me. I was very surprised to receive an acceptance email a few hours later!! I never thought they would notify so quickly. I'm over the moon! It's not my top top choice but I would be VERY happy there.

pinoysoc Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 Congrats to the two UCSF interviews! Anyone claiming them? Also, a big high five for the UCLA admit! Â lookinforward to hearing from you guys!
latemeg Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 The variability in notification across schools is killing me. I feel like individually checking all 6 application portals is just a part of my morning routine now--coffee, then obsessively checking the results page here, then logging in to every portal and checking on my app. Decisions one way or another are really going to mess up my mornings.

Lol Haha. I understand the feeling! I'm using in-between project breaks to check on things. Â
pinoysoc Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Also, congrats on the UIUC acceptance. Anyone care to claim it? Plus two more Chicago interviews! It's going slow, but it's starting!
R1001 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Anyone else nervous that Minnesota acceptance letters should come out tomorrow or Friday? newtsoc 1

abenz Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Guys where is Emory? No postings for interview invites but they say the interviews are early Feb ... I’m so nervous I have terrible insomnia

I’m so nervous I have terrible insomnia The head of Emory's committee contacted me in December to let me know that the POI that I was a perfect match with was actually retiring at the end of this academic year - still tried to sell me on the department and other projects/POIs in it but it definitely significantly reduced my interest. Anyways, at that time he said they would begin "processing files in mid-January". Not sure if that means sending invites or literally reading files but hopefully this info helps you a little at least!! Rthusia 1
abenz Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks @2733amh that is useful. It just seems that they will have to inform candidates of their status soon for interviews and travel bookings, unless they aren’t doing interviews which would be a dream! Haha I can only hope (I’m an international candidate so interviews aren’t great for me as it’s skype based rather than a visit weekend)Â

He did mention the interview weekend so I am assuming that is still their plan this year. Keep waiting it out, it's coming for you soon!!! Rthusia 1

SociologyFanatic Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Fingers crossed for us! New to the site so I accidentally posted a new comment.
ThePastelCalico Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 All of these interviews and acceptances have me anxious to hear about Wisconsin-Madison. Anyone know when to expect to hear anything? I don’t think they do interviews but I could be wrong and the waiting is killing me!Â

I think we should hear back today or tomorrow based on last year’s pattern because they sent them out on the Thursday and Friday of this week.

If you go to the results page and search sociology Wisconsin it should show you all the results from previous years, so you can get an idea of when they usually send out acceptances each year.
