Sociology Graduate School Admission Results

The rejection letter was pretty kind and I really appreciated :)

A little surprised as I thought I had good fit!

UofT HBA student, but not Canadian citizen or PR

shocked. it was a great fit.

2a/1r/6p

3.975 undergrad GPA, 3.88 grad school GPA from my MA program at a prestigious university. Its brutal out here.

The rejection letter was so nice. So was UW Madison's. This is my 5th rejection so far, including 3 from programs that I thought were a perfect fit. And you know what; it helps to get a respectful letter. CUNY posted my rejection without even notifying me until days later and UCLA's email was a terse form letter. It takes so little to write a thoughtful rejection email that shows respect for us, yet the impact is huge. I'm a returning student and I've had a long career. It's rude and bad business when companies/schools don't bother to be respectful to candidates/students who don't get the job/admitted. I think this cycle is bust for me. But I'll definitely reapply to UW Madison and UM Ann Arbor when I try again next year. I'll think twice about the other schools because I suspect they revealed something bigger about their school culture and attitudes with their lack of communication and dismissiveness. Noted!

This is my top choice, so I'm thrilled! Had a zoom call earlier letting me know about my admission and I just got the official letter.

Not a perfect fit, I thought it should be a rejection though. Will decline. Best wishes to those who are still on the alternate list! 7a/3w/4r/7p

Email to confirm I'm on the alternate list. Dream program for me so please do let them know ASAP if you're not planning on accepting!

Received an email that informed me that I am on an alternate list! This is my dream school so please do not accept if you're not planning on attending. Wishing everyone the best luck!

I am in tears. This is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me.

I am so down and lost. all rejections but 2 programs pending. might as well just quit this game.
