It's cool some people are hearing back from schools already, but it seems like these schools are mostly central and west coast. Can't wait to start seeing some east coast results. I'd kill to see something other than "submitted" right now. I keep getting emails soliciting my application from Northeastern, but they come in on my phone hella early in the morning, so my sleepy brain thinks it's Northwestern and I end up jumping out of my skin thinking I have news from them--no such luck.

Historically, the next few days (the next week or so) is when a high volume of decisions come in. I'm itching for Stanford results to come in because they come out this weekend..theoretically. Penn State has been quiet and so has UPenn!

This is my first cycle and all ive heard is decisions typically come out in March and April, so its very interesting to see people getting results so soon. I REALLY hope we hear something next week. I'd even take a small confirmation saying that they're reviewing my application haha.

The high volume goes into maybe late February/early March. By that time, it's campus visit time where some students have accepted an offer to their "dream school" or in Notre Dame's case, it when they send out acceptances that were based on campus visits. It's nerve wracking especially having an ideal timeline of when things pick up.
CandideCoating Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Yep. Basically every person in my life is like "have you heard anything" and I'm like it could be any second, and day now; I'm holding my phone....lol

Some of them certainly track the same few days for a few years, which is useful to know

Oh my gosh, same here! I keep getting email solicitations with "Sociology" or "Application" in the subject line and every. single. one. makes me just about jump out of my skin! All false alarms though. At least I know my epinephrine production is working! KevinJHa and mfafiction2019 1 1
KevinJHa Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 Lmao I got a phone call from an unknown number today and hoping it was a school answered quickly -- turns out it was just an advertisement. I get my heart broken every day. pinoysoc 1

SAME! I actually unsubscribed from all Northeastern emails because I got tired of that feeling hahah
qeta Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I got an email from Law and Society Association this morning saying that I'll be presenting parts of my MA thesis at the conference this year. Anybody else heading to Toronto in June? Not really sure that there are many socio-legal folks on the board this year.
socihk Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 My routine in Jan (probably also in Feb) 1. Go back to my office in the morning 2. Switch on the desktop and check my apps and see the Submitted status 3. Check gradcafe 4. Buy a cup of coffee and start to work with very loose attention, don't even know what the hell I am doing 5. Lunch with my colleagues and answer "No" or "Nothing" in response to their question "Any news?" every day 6. Before leaving my office in the evening, see Submitted again 7. Back to home, Video game till 2am as I can't sleep

pinoysoc Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Just checked my application right now: Submitted
abenz Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I’m on holiday rn and it’s terrible. We are exactly 12 hours ahead of the US so decisions come in overnight. I wake up expecting news and nothing
abenz Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Also dumb question but I’ve been assuming that I’ll get emails if my application status changes so I’ve not really been checking the pages ... is that bad?

Some schools will notify small changes like materials being received, etc. But usually the magic e-mail is the e-mail saying to check the decision has been made. Does that help? Some schools even e-mail from the department itself.
abenz Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Thanks @pinoysoc, I just meant that besides checking the pages to see all my documents have been received, there’s not really much point logging in every day as they’ll notify us by email to check the pages once they’ve made a decision ...
hope_1 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Anyone knows what time of the day the results are usually released...? I decided to stop refreshing pages every minute after 10 am, but still I'm waiting for any alarm from mail notifications. It felt like I'm a nervous wreck.

I'm not sure but it seems like most people are posting results around noon -- so I assume around the morning. So anyway this morning in an obsessive frenzy, I decided to call the admissions offices of all the schools I applied to and ask about timelines. Here's what I was told: CUNY Graduate Center - End of January, beginning of February Princeton - End of February Harvard - Starting end of Febuary, all decisions out by March 15. Columbia - No comment Boston University - March/April NYU - End of February Northeastern - February/March Yale - Febuary/March Anyway didn't really learn anything new but I liked the feeling of control I got again when I was calling my schools haha.

mfafiction2019 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) UT acceptances should be out this coming week or the next, and their rejections go out in early Feb (this is all based on all the previous UT sociology survey entries) Edited January 19, 2018 by qualsoc2018

Back to home, Video game till 2am as I can't sleep LOL this has been nearly my response almost every day since mid-December (except sub buying coffee for using a french press at my desk, responding "no moves have been made" when my co-workers ask, and binge-reading fiction until 2am). The waiting is terrible. Food is bland, sleep is scant, and I'm driving my roommates crazy with my constant worrying. Hope y'all are holding up okay. Sending positive vibes and optimistic thoughts to everyone.
