UC2011

Ohhh I see. My friend was also in the same position this year since his advisor moved to NYU MCC in the Fall. That would be so frustrating to lose your advisor in the middle of your work. Good luck!! I am sure you will be able to move. 

I know that you can't be surprised if you are rejected from Annenberg but I did have my hopes up from talks with faculty. I was asked what my stats/profile looked like and it always takes a little of the sting out for me when I see people with "good" stats that also got rejected so... I have a 4.0 Grad GPA, 3.8 undergrad from a top 10 U.S. university, 6 on writing for GRE, NCA and ICA conference presentations as sole author on papers, 4 TA positions, 2 semesters of teacher of record, and 2.5 years as a research assistant. I really think we will all end up where we fit best. Good luck to everyone still playing the waiting game and don't let this process make you feel inadequate! There are too many variables at play (admissions committee members, how many students they already have doing your work/interests, faculty changes etc.)  for anyone to feel bad about a rejection (easier said than done, I know).  p.s.- does anyone know if schools know if an applicant has already committed to another school they were offered admission to?
