[2017 Applications Thread]

@2ManyTacos Thanks! I guess I'm out then. Good luck at the open house!

@ejpril88 I guess I'm a little relieved at this point too. I'm just ready for the whole waiting process to be over so even bad news is welcome haha.

Hi all!  I just registered.

I applied to four PhD programs in Comm.  Most also give out MA degrees as well, which is important to me since I am coming into this directly after undergrad.  The programs I applied to are the following:

UCSB - Invited to attend a grad school open house on Feb. 23-25.

UCSD - No response

University of Washington - No response, which is killing me because this was my top school and I see that others have already gotten rejection notices!

University of Maryland - No response

The wait is pretty agonizing.  I routinely log into my application pages online and none of them have moved beyond the "submitted" label.  Good sign?

I'm new here, so I hope I'm doing this right!

If you don't mind me asking, when did you hear from UCSB about the open house? My application status still hasn't moved from the "submitted" label and after seeing your post I'm starting to lose hope
