    About three weeks ago I was notified by the department that I've been recommended for admission and I would receive the official letter from the Grad School in a few weeks. I still haven't received the letter (I know I know, it can take time), but when I went to check the online portal today it still says "pending" and now the "PhD" part has been changed to "MA." What happened? In the program, students earn their MA on the way to PhD, so I'm wondering if anyone who is in a similar program has MA on their official records at first? I emailed the grad school as well - but naturally I turned to you fine folks for any info you may have. As always, thanks!

    I haven't heard anything, but the online application portal says that the department plans to make decisions by late February.

    Good point, this seems very likely also. I forget that there are those out there who do not use grad cafe. Strange as that may seem! Lol

    Yes, I was thinking perhaps it is a sign of wait list, official or "unofficial" (e.g. they haven't decided yet, but possibly). Alas, who can know the mind of the adcomm!

    I'm not sure about Cornell, but I was wondering the same thing about University of Washington. Is it common for some schools to send out a round of rejections first, sit on it and then do acceptances and maybe more rejections in waves?

    ....you actually had me going for a moment there. The waiting is that bad! lol

    Ah, okay, it is sort of confusing since the Media Studies department is separate from Communication. Anyway, I am waiting on the edge of my seat to hear! Lol

    Sorry to pop in unannounced...but I noticed the Boulder one as well. Do we know if it's Communication or Media Studies? As far as I know, they don't have a Communication Studies program. Edit: Fixed my awful grammar...

    After a day of total panic feelings, this was really good to hear. Thank you.

    For anyone checking out this thread in the future, apparently ETS got a new system in August, and during the changeover much previous data like past registration numbers were wiped. This sounds strange to me, but that is what they told me just a few moments ago.
  16. Triangular
    Thanks so much, that is very helpful to know. I will call then to see about getting the other number.

    This is totally unrelated and I hope you figured out your scores (I agree with others that you can only retake the entire test, not just sections sadly. I would also have loved to have done this), but I really just wanted to say I love your name BilboSwaggins haha thanks for making me laugh during application crunch time

    Hi all, I have a general question about the GRE that I hope isn't asked or obvious, but as I have been unable to find the answer I thought maybe some of the fine folks around here might know. I have two separate test dates for my GRE, and my verbal is significantly higher on the first test date. Although I have had the scores from both test days sent to each school to which I'm applying, most of those schools also ask to you to enter GRE scores on the online application as well. I would like to list the first set, since I feel they are more favorable for the types of programs I'm applying to, but they require you to enter the registration number and no matter where I look I have only been able to find one registration number (which I assume is for the most recent test, not the one I want to report). TL;DR Does anyone know if each test you take has its own registration number or if one registration number covers all of the scores associated with your name? If the former, is this something I'd need to contact ETS directly to receive or can I find it somewhere in my account that I have not looked?

    Has anyone ever been ask to write a letter about why they want an assistantship? Portland State's website doesn't mention it (at least not that I have seen) but the online application system surprised me by requiring that you provide a letter detailing why you deserve/want/need a grad assistantship. I am sort of taken aback since I have not seen other schools do this. Does anyone have any experience with it or ever hear of it? I'd really appreciate any advice anyone has about writing one.

    Has anyone encountered the question "Do you plan to attend this institution if offered admission without funding?" I'm going to answer no, since I can't imagine I would ever consider a doctoral program for which I couldn't receive funding, but would anyone advise against that? I just thought it was a strange question and can't see why they would ask it if it didn't affect admission chances in some way.
