[Career] First Semester of my Ph.D. Program
This week, I am beginning my first semester as a Ph.D. student in Sociology and Demography at The Pennsylvania State University. For the first semester, I will be taking courses remotely from Korea due to the Pandemic but will move to the United States by the beginning of next semester.
[Award] University Graduate Fellowship
I got an email from the Director of Graduate Study at The Pennsylvania State University that I will be receiving the University Graduate Fellowship, which comes with a higher stipend amount and a service-free first year. I am honored to receive this fellowship and look forward to starting my new chapter at The Pennsylvania State University.
[Career] Ph.D. Program Acceptance
It is great to announce that my Ph.D. application results are all out now. Among the 8 sociology programs that I applied to, I got accepted to four programs: The Pennsylvania State University, the University of Southern California, the City University of New York, and Vanderbilt University. I will decide on which program to attend soon. I am very thankful to everyone who helped me throughout this application process, particularly all my professors at Lawrence University.
