Well, I got rejected from all my "academic programs," but I got accepted into LIU, LMU and Boston! I'll be attending Boston to get my MS in Television, where I'll also be a teaching assistant. Hopefully, I'll be applying to PhD programs again for entrance in Fall 2019, but for now, I look forward to spending some time in Boston learning more about Television. What's everyone else up to, as April 15th fast approaches?

@dreamsfrombunkerhill Oh, wow. That also makes it sound as if they already told those who were accepted. And USC only accepted six! Not good odds at all.

Aw, you got me all excited (applying to UPitt), but I think the timelines might be different, since you're Art History and Film, and I'm English and Film. Well, fingers crossed anyways.

@dreamsfrombunkerhill I did not. I believe I looked into it, and they didn't offer deferments, although I may be wrong about that. The job was for two years, though (teaching fellowship). And thank you! Congrats on the USC acceptance!

Hello, fellow watchers and waiters! I applied to the following: UT-Austin--MA (previously accepted for Fall 2015; chose to go after a job which ultimately went nowhere :/) USC--PhD UMich--PhD UPitt (w/English)--PhD Yale (w/American Studies)--PhD Still haven't heard from any of them. My focus was fairly narrow--or, at the very least, made me decide against applying to schools like Harvard, UChicago and Brown--I'd like to focus on bisexuality in media, particularly subtextual bisexuality in Old Hollywood/Code films. (Think Captain Renault in Casablanca, for example.) I also applied to several schools in writing for film/television (NYU, Northwestern, LIU, LMU, UT-Austin [again!]), and I'm accepted at one already (LIU), so all hope is not lost if I don't get into a film and media studies program, but I know I'd be happier/more satisfied as an academic who happens to do creative work in their (rare) spare time than a creative who tries to do academic work in their (rare) spare time. Irregardless, I'll be working with what I love, so I'm trying to keep hope alive. Well, that's me.
