@Hao HongtaoWow!!! The information you provided is amazing!!! It is really useful for me. I will scrutinize the application information about these universities. Thank you very much!!! I really appreciate your help. By the way, have you get your MA in the USA? Because I think you know the programs in the USA very well !

Thanks for your information. OMG!! I really don't know that a score of 28 in speaking is a necessary requirement for funding. If I know it, I must not waste an opportunity to apply for this program. I had a bad performance on my speaking of Toefl. And I do not prepare to have another Toefl exam since I know I cannot get that high score. I believe it is hard for Chinese students who obtained their MA in China to be successful for the first-class phd programs, such as Stanford and Cornell. Applying for the MA programs as backup is a wise decision. However, the MA program in US is unaffordable for me as almost no funding. So, though I want study in US MA program, I cannot take it into my consideration.

Thanks for your information! It is amazing that you know the application deadlines for such many universities! The information is very important for me. Actually, I read the information about some programs that you mentioned. I think I have a good fit with Michigan state. But I have applied too many programs with high ranking, so I want to apply for some programs with relatively low ranking and I decide to give up Michigan state. Also, I do not have a good fit with Univ. of Florida, Univ. of Kentucky, Maryland, Penn state and Arizona state. Therefore, my temporary decision is to apply for Rutgers and Alabama. In addition, I will have a close look at UC Davis, Univ. of Arizona, Ohio Univ., especially Univ. of Iowa. Also, I didn't fullfill the Toefl speaking requirement for internatioanl applicants. Yet I really think I have a good fit with OSU, so I take a risk for it. And I don't know Wiscnosin-madison has tightened their budget. It is really a bad news. Again, your information is very helpful for me. Thanks a lot!!!

Hello All!!! I am currently a master student at Communication Unviersity of China and applying for PHD program of 2018 Fall round. I am interested in studying the effects and implications of social media usage on metal health. I have applied for 6 programs: Ohis state, IUB, Stanford (definitely, I will be rejected), Cornell, Wisconsin-madison, Temple. And I am going to apply for another 3 programs. Do anybody have suggestions about the phd programs which fit with my research interests? Thanks for any reply in advance!
