Which program, Media and Information or Comm? They don't have to interview but often do for finalists.

This is a general comment for anyone thinking about emailing DGS's or POI's and specifically addressing this: Do not do this, leave them alone. You will 100% find out at some point. This person has a job that they are trying to do during a pandemic and grad admissions are a small part of what is on their plate. At best you find out slightly faster than you would anyways, at worst you annoy someone who is in a department that you may end up at. It is way way too early. If you are talking about this in March, then fine, but chill out and get off this website for a bit if it is stressing you out.

Those are not different programs. It is one department that brings in diverse cohorts. I am not trying to be pedantic, but clarity is important here. Screen Cultures is a completely different department from the communications and media department. Same college, but it is like economics and statistics departments. Totally different.

They are not the same comm school. There is no comm school at umich.
