I'm patiently waiting to hear back. I applied to six programs and I know it's a bit premature, but here's hoping I start to hear back in another one to two weeks. I know decision timelines are contingent on the school and department. I'm in Film and Media Studies and it seems that a majority of programs inform around Jan-Feb. Any other FMS folks?
I know it's premature, but has anyone heard back yet? Even for an interview. Based on the past few years, it seems that schools have varying timeframes for notifying applicants. And with COVID, I'm unsure if it'll take longer or if it has no affect. I'm going to assume most of us will start to hear back towards the end of January.
I have a BA in Cinema Studies and an MA in Media Management. I applied to these PhD programs:
1. UC Berkeley
2. Yale
3. NYU
4. USC
5. University of Washington
6. University of Santa Barbara
Good luck to all!
