We're admitting about half the usual number of applicants. (Not just sociology, our whole college.)
How will the corona affect PhD admissions?

OP here. My posts keep getting deleted.
What do you think the admissions will be like, in terms of open spots and applications? And do you think sociology departments versus business schools will fare differently?
I know P rinceton isn't even accepting applicants this year.

In all seriousness, I have no idea. I serve on the admissions committee this past year at my school, and it's a three year service appointment. We won't really know about the number of applicants until it happens, but it seems pretty clear we won't be funding as many as we have previously.

There will be variance by program recruitment strategy.
Places like the New School rely heavily on international students who see NYC as the international cultural/social/business center of the world. The loss of visas for new students and destruction of opportunity in the Big Apple will discourage applicants.

Very true. My R1 can't fill seats since our undergrad enrollments dropped.
Decline in undergrad enrollment will reduce the demand for TAs and instructors for intro classes at large state schools. That creates less of a reason to admit more PhD students who likely will not finish the program nor get a job.

Not a hard question. Applications will be through the roof and they will be chasing many fewer spots. Will be very hard to get in. If you�re white, it�ll be close to impossible.
Lol it’s easy af to get into grad schools as a whitey
