I haven't posted in here yet, but I figured I could help. I received rejections from Pitt (today), Duke, and Ohio State. I was accepted to UW-Milwaukee PhD in Media, Cinema and Digital Studies in English. I am still waiting to hear from Syracuse, Rochester, and U of Chicago. Has anyone heard from them yet?
I'm still waiting to hear from a few schools, but I was admitted to UW-Milwaukee's Media, Cinema and Digital Studies PhD program in their English Department. I plan on moving up, from Youngstown, OH, sometime in July-August.
I am in the same situation with UW-Milwaukee. According to the PAWS system, I was accepted into their Media, Cinema and Digital Studies PhD program in their English Department. I have not received any emails nor any letters. I was questioning if I was actually accepted.
Thanks for the reply CBZ!
I'm considering the MA at Kent/Paris for its abroad experience and the film experience to both better my PhD application (to get into a better school perhaps) and to improve chances once I hit the market. Coming from an open enrollment university I'm uneasy about both.
Hello all,
I am brand new to thegradcafe.com, but I already need advice...
I am currently attending Youngstown State University and earning my MA in English. I am doing fairly well with a 3.85 and buried chest deep in my thesis. I plan on graduating Spring '14 and applying for doctoral programs in film/media studies.
How much would I benefit from applying for a second MA in Film from an international university? (if at all...)
More specifically, The University of Kent's Kent/Paris programs in film. 1 term in Kent and 1 in Paris.
Few notes about my situation.
-I also earned my BA from Youngstown State with a 3.28 GPA (I had some awful early semesters), and I worry about my opportunities having stayed at the same institution.
-My thesis is film related (Spanish film to be exact).
-I hope to find PhD film programs housed or crossed with English departments.
-I never took advantage of YSU's Study Abroad Program.
Thanks you for helping!
