A few that I've found over the past year or so. I haven't followed them closely, but subscribe in my reader. http://www.geekstudies.org/ http://www.shoutingloudly.com/ http://theory.isthereason.com/ http://www.thoughtcrumbs.com/index.shtml http://www.tiara.org/blog/ I would also like to know about other grad student blogs out there, especially ones that deal with the day-to-day details of surviving and thriving.

psychicle: with verbal and analytic scores like those, you're right - math doesn't matter. :-) You say besides LSE, you're looking at American Ivies. Which, specifically?

Thrilled to have found this forum! I started my applications for Ph.D. programs yesterday. 1. University of Pennsylvania: The Annenberg School for Communication (Ph.D. in Communication) 2. The Pennsylvania State University: College of Communications (Ph.D. in Mass Communications) 3. The University of Florida: College of Journalism and Communications (Ph.D. in Mass Communication) 4. Indiana University: Department of Telecommunications, College of Arts and Sciences (Ph.D. in Mass Communications) I did my M.A. in TISM at Michigan State. I've been teaching and managing campus radio/tv facilities at a medium-sized university in Georgia for 2 years. GPA: 3.7 for M.A., 3.6 for B.S. Two of the programs above asked for junior/senior year GPA, which was 3.4 for me. GRE: 650v, 720q, 5.5aw One conference paper, one in progress. Research interests: media selection, use, and participation; policy and management With a reported 350 applicants to UPenn last year, could we see 400 this year? What are my chances?!?!? I'm looking forward to commiserating with the other 2010 applicants in Communication for the next 7-8 months. :-D

They do, at: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/prospective/Gr ... Stats.aspx The stats for 2007 aren't up anymore, but are available at: http://web.archive.org/web/200708252056 ... /stats.asp Obviously, I've given this some thought. :-D
