I heard some Phd students changed their research topics in the first year (sometimes even the whole direction). So it probably will be fine? It may be better for efficiency or publication purpose if you concentrate on one topic earlier though (which I am also struggling with lol)

That is awesome! Hope we all get in the programs we like.

wow your work is so cool!

I want to study computer-mediated communication, more specifically the social media use. I don't have a top choice yet, they are all good programs. I am just waiting for their decisions lol

I also applied to UT Austin, UIUC, cornell, UCSB, and UW Madison. Hopefully I will hear some good news back soon. Finger crossed to all of us?

The communication PhD. They said it on the website but I heard in some programs, if your material is very good, they may just jump the interview.

Thanks for sharing! Your application strategy sounds like very smart and effective. Do you reach out to the professors before application? I heard they usually have interviews before admission

Congratulations! I received an interview invitation from UCSB last week. I haven't heard back from UConn. Could I ask which program you applied?

Hi all, Thanks for the thread! I am also applying for PhD in comm this year. My interest is in computer-mediated comm. Applying to UT Austin, UIUC, cornell, UCSB, UW Madison Best of luck to everyone:)
