Just got my official acceptance from Madison! Very excited and hoping the best for all of you!

Maybe they're doing "visualization" exercises like "The Secret". Hoping their thoughts will become their reality. That's what Im going with.

Hey all, I am a current grad student, I've been active on this forum in the past, not so much this year. I just wanted to quickly jump in and say that every year there are trolls who post random schools (Princeton, Harvard, Yale, NW, Columbia). It never makes any sense and is unfortunately just something we all have to live with. 
The internet is full of bored, lonely, and mean people who have way too much time on their hands. Unfortunately, one of them picked this specific community to troll. They do it every year. 
On another note, I wish you all the best of luck during this process! It is stressful as hell, I can't imagine what its like doing this during a pandemic. You all are amazingly smart and talented. 

Princeton Decisions = Fake News. Trolls are trolling.

New here... I've applied to several programs including Communications, Political Science, and Sociology. My interests are interdisciplinary in nature and lie at the intersection of democracy, media, politics, and culture. I am especially interested in the use of media to undermine democracy and democratic norms in the US. 
Below are comms programs that I've applied too. I received my first acceptance today from UConn, which was really nice. 
1. UConn (Accepted)
2. UMass Amherst 
3. UPenn Annenberg


Best of luck to you all! 

most top American programs do not send out admits in batches that span across days. they send notifications in batches (which means if you're rejected, you probably have to wait a few days/weeks/months to hear back, but if you're admitted, you hear back in close proximity to others).  

Hi! 
New here
My interests: the intersection of tech and human rights, specifically, data ethics, privacy, and surveillance.
Applied to Cornell InfoSci, UPenn Comm, NYU MCC, and a few history of science programs. 
Has anyone on this thread heard from Cornell Info Sci? I noticed on the results page that some interview requests were sent out yesterday. Anxiously waiting...

I’m in the middle of a convo over on Reddit re: sharing the names of POIs and I just wanted to express gratitude to our group here.
Everyone has been so supportive, (seemingly) genuinely happy for others’ acceptances, collaborative and non-competitive. 

Even though some of us are applying to the same programs (and even spoke with the same POIs), I firmly believe everyone will end up exactly where they belong. ??

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

Amazing!! Congrats

I applied to Princeton (American) and have heard nothing either. No updates in the portal. Good luck to all. There have been a bunch of trolls the last few days, I can't tell you how many folks got into Hogwarts... LOL

Fellow social pal here! I've been in social since college and been running it for Nike in LA the past few years!

I'm claiming one of those Northwestern admits. Got an email early this morning.

Congrats! That is very exciting  

Heard back from UConn today, they offered full funding. Super excited.
 
Anyone heard anything from other schools? Crossing my fingers for everyone.

Congrats Brian! 
How exciting!!! 
I don't expect to hear back from my programs until Mid Feb / Early March.
 

Congratulations, Brian!
I don’t expect to hear back from programs until February. 

Hi! Joining the thread.
I applied to Penn State, U of Oregon, Louisiana State, and U of Michigan (two programs at UM). Hoping to research climate change and science communications! Wishing everyone the best of luck ?

Hello good people and thanks for this thread. 

2020 was tough so congrats to everyone on managing to put forward solid applications. No matter what happens, I believe the fact that we made the applications is a massive achievement. I applied to Columbia J school, NYU, Rutgers, UPenn, UT Austin, Indiana University, and Harvard (a different program). 
No feedback yet. Best of luck to you all. 
Thanks! 

Thank you! Judging by what I read in your post, if you feel you’re a good fit and your research interests align well with the professors, you’ll be fine. 
 
sending good vibes!!!!

Just sent out emails to the grad coordinators and also to another potential recommender. Cross your fingers for me!
