    It will be especially difficult because I feel like I would know almost immediately if I were able to attend an open house just because you get a sense of the space and the people and what it’s actually like to interact and have dinner with them etc. Hopefully the virtual open day activities will be somewhat helpful? I also know a lot of people who went to Columbia who can give insight but it’s kind of like blind choice almost without being able to visit

    Yeah I interviewed with him but it would be nice to let the moment of acceptance soak in before speaking is all haha. I guess they’re a little late in the game compared to other schools so maybe they want to provide info early. I’m a little overwhelmed by the amount of meetings I have and decisions I need to make. I was so unprepared to be in this position!

    Hi, yes I was also admitted. The Director of Grad Studies requested to speak with me tonight to give me more info which I thought was intense

    I also haven't heard from Princeton but they never do interviews and it seems like rejections and acceptances go out on the same day typically. I had contact with three faculty in the fall and have considered reaching out to them but I'm not sure how helpful it will be or if they will respond.

    I have no idea at this point especially with other schools still pending decisions. I definitely won't make any decision before the virtual open houses of each school which so far for me are in early March.
  6. I honestly don't know given that I wasn't expecting to hear from any of these schools, let alone be accepted so I need to fully wrap my head around what each of them have to offer academically. The advice I've heard is that you should consider which schools give you the most money overall so I'm waiting to get all of the financial aid packages before really considering overall intellectual fit.
  7. I only applied to one cms department which was Berkeley. I also applied to Harvard art history (accepted), Columbia art history (interview), UChicago English (waitlist), CUNY art history (interview), and Princeton art history (haven't heard). Best of luck! I hope you hear soon.
  8. Hi, yes for some reason it wouldn't let me select film and media studies under the field when I submitted my result. I got an email last night saying that my official letter and funding package would arrive in early March and that they would love to chat soon over zoom to give me more information. I'm very shocked at how admissions is playing out for me. The schools I thought I didn't stand a chance at (mainly because of fit and the things faculty are interested in) are the schools that I've been accepted to so far. Very strange.

    Modern and Contemporary, focus on time-based media and photography oddly enough. Definitely wasn't thinking it was a great fit but I guess I was wrong!

    Technically the third which is odd. I had two separate informal chats with POIs who are not on the committee a couple of weeks ago and so now this is my first chat with AdCom. Honestly, who knows what could happen but based on what people have told me its pretty likely that we're in. They also don't have a waitlist this year FYI, not sure if you had heard that

    I also have a Columbia interview and was just accepted at Harvard! Good luck on Columbia and I suppose I'll see you on zoom whenever Harvard has an open day etc ha

    CUNY sent out an email to waitlisted and accepted students about open day already but we haven't gotten anything in the portal yet confirming acceptance or waitlist so its possible that you were either accepted or waitlisted and they somehow messed up your email.
  13. I was just waitlisted at UChicago...anyone else hear back from them either way? I'm wondering if anyone has heard of them doing a waitlist before or not, and how it typically works if so?

    It went well. They're only accepting 5 students this year, typically it's 15. I contacted the two professors that interviewed me before I submitted and they both said they were not taking students but I applied anyway and I did mention them in my application. So they ended up liking my application and being involved in the admissions process. Typically, based on stats on results (the link that martiday sent), it looks like Columbia sends out acceptances around mid to late Feb and rejections at the beginning of March

    Yeah, it was me who posted. i had an interview with two profs in the department but I suppose you're right that no one else has posted about it so maybe it is just a particular case and they aren't doing interviews for everyone
