Huh, I did not see that. Just received my rejection from Pittsburgh via postal. Now brown is all that’s left! Looks like I may be heading to Minnesota.

@WallaceShawn @ericanei congrats on your acceptances!! I just received a rejection email from Uchicago’s CMS program, forwarded to the MAPH. But with at least one offer currently I will have to pass on that. Still waiting to hear back from Pittsburgh and Brown. Brown’s results don’t seem to come out till the end of February - mid March so looks like it’s on to more waiting!

Oh that’s good to know I didn’t realize it would take that long. I just saw there is a posted rejection, but says they emailed their poi. It’s not over till it’s over!

Ah I see. I am trying to hold out until I receive a rejection. I've also heard their cohort size is quite small, but it seems like most film/media programs are. There was also news a few months ago that UChicago is going to be restructuring their graduate funding and supporting their grads more, but that it may result in lower amount of grads admitted. Idk, it is a toss up, but the prolonged results could mean that they are still finalizing things. I tried to call the office yesterday but did not get anyone on the phone. I am interested in colonial representation, race, film theory, Westerns/popular media and early film/photography.

No response on your end either? This is brutal especially with the one supposed acceptance floating around...

Hello fellow film folks! Applied to 5 programs overall. I received my first rejection from Northwestern last Friday during the wave that went out. I applied with the African Studies Cluster, but wasn't stoked about the screen cultures program in terms of fit so it wasn't the worst news. Received an acceptance to the Comparative Studies in Discourse and Society program at UMN the following day on Saturday morning to my absolute surprise. Still eagerly awaiting the rest of my apps, but feeling good about my options so far! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back.
