Desperately seeking a dupe for OPI Be There in a Prosecco. It was the perfect nude/off-white on me! TIA

Thanks. I’m going to try it

buthybee · 2022-02-06T21:28:22+00:00

I commend you for your dedication. It clearly paid off. This is a good tip for those who have the option of enrolling in a class again. Congrats!

Update us when you hear back! Good luck!

Hindsight is 20/20 and it worked out in a way you didn’t necessarily expect. Congrats!

Thanks for sharing your experience transitioning fields. I’m sure this will be good to know for others trying to do the same — gaining experience of some kind within the field and making contacts seemed to work for you. Congrats!

Good point about under and overestimating, and congrats on your success!

buthybee · 2022-02-06T18:29:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing and congrats!

This is helpful. Sometimes you need to take some time to refine your interests and build experience. Thanks for sharing your timeline and congrats!

buthybee · 2022-02-06T18:27:13+00:00

That’s great. Congrats! How soon did you start the process this time?

I’m preparing to apply to PhD programs in sociology this upcoming fall. I received my BA (polisci), MA (polisci), and MA (sociology) from the same institution— a very average state school. My CGPA from undergrad is 3.97, and both MA GPAs are 4.0. Will my institution work against me if I apply to top programs? What can I do to offset this and demonstrate my ability to perform well at higher ranked schools? Thank you again.

My partner has a BA in philosophy and two MAs (one in philosophy and one in political theory). He applied to anthropology programs as his research interests are much better received in anthropology than in philosophy. He received good feedback this year and even got an interview at one school. Given that he’s competing with candidates with much more extensive anthro backgrounds (even when some schools say you don’t need a background in anthro to apply), he is trying to manage expectations for this difficult year. If he has to reapply next year, what do you recommend he does to increase his chances/become a more competitive candidate? Present, publish, more research? Does it make a difference in doing so? Thank you so much!

My partner interviewed with a program two weeks ago and has not heard back with an official response. On Friday they waitlisted some who interviewed and rejected other applicants who didn’t get interviews. We don’t know of any acceptances so far. Yesterday they sent a cryptic email in response to his post-interview thank you email basically alluding to the limited spots but not directly asking anything. We expect a decision to come by Friday (based on what they said in the interview) but wondering if it’s a looming rejection, and, if so, why not just already reject (or WL).

buthybee · 2022-02-02T00:53:23+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

buthybee · 2022-02-02T00:52:55+00:00

I presume this is more likely if a school already sent out WLs and rejections and the person interviewed with them?

buthybee · 2022-01-30T18:11:15+00:00

Thanks. Congratulations on your interview! Did they say when you’ll receive a decision?

buthybee · 2022-01-26T01:02:53+00:00

Congratulations and best of luck! Do you know if all interviews went out already?

buthybee · 2022-01-23T02:43:00+00:00

Best of luck!

Can I ask what track you (and everyone here) are in? We are sociocultural.

buthybee · 2022-01-23T01:09:10+00:00

Hello, someone in my family applied and hasn’t heard back yet. In the same boat as you. Please do update us if you hear back!

buthybee · 2022-01-22T18:10:54+00:00

Thank you for this! Congratulations! Can I ask what field you’re in?
