2021 Fall HCI & Information Science PhD Admission Thread
KatGrad757 replied to Mercury0919's topic in Waiting it Out
...also Syracuse let me know they received 2x as many applicant this year! From what I've been hearing, most universities (across all programs and degrees) received about double the amount of applicants this year. I reached out to UMD and they let me know that they've released some admissions decisions and will continue to release decisions over the next several weeks. -
2021 Fall HCI & Information Science PhD Admission Thread

I was accepted into the Information Studies PhD program at Syracuse with a fully funded package. ? Good luck everyone! -
Yes, to those 3 questions. Also have a few questions that you'd like to ask them. I've had quite a few interviews and they are pretty informal. If you made it to the interview phase all the qualifications/merit stuff is done. They want to get know you and learn more about why you want to study. Relax and be yourself. This is also a time for you to interview them. I also ask professors about their advisee style - is it hands off, is it independent, is it very hands on, etc. etc.

Congratulations! Did you apply to the Information Studies PhD at UMD? If so, when did you hear from them? I haven't heard from them yet. You haven't heard from Georgia Tech yet, correct? -
2021 Fall HCI & Information Science PhD Admission Thread

Hi everyone, I had my interview with Syracuse for admission to their Information PhD program. It went really well... but who knows. I had 2 great interviews with Cornell and I still wasn't admitted. Syracuse did tell me that this will for their 2nd round and their 1st round of admissions offers already went out. I just received my rejection letter from CMU for the HCII Phd program. I wasn't banking on CMU, if I'm being perfectly honest I only applied because I was offered an application fee waiver. Good luck everyone! -
I received an email and my letter was attached as a pdf. I'm not sure whether they meant they actually received a record number of applications and/or they admitted more students this year. Possibly both? I'm sure most schools received more applications than normal. During the CRDM info session they mentioned they accept like 12 students, give or take, like you said above. 12 seems like a lot... most schools accept half that amount, at most.

I was recently accepted to NCSU CRDM's PhD program. I am waitlisted for funding though. The letter stated, " The CRDM program had a record number of admissions this year, and you are one of a small group of top applicants who were waitlisted." I think most programs received more applications than normal, especially since most schools waived the GRE, amongst other pandemic-related personal reasons. Best of Luck!

I'm not sure what the acceptance rate is for finalists. But I'm sure its not high... most PhD programs only let in like 5-10 ppl, give or take and depending on funding, program size, etc. etc. I know Temple said I have until April to let them know yes or now. I assume (well, hope) that most programs give students about the same amount time to let them know their decision.
-
Keep your hope up. We all have great things to offer these schools and programs. All you need is one offer . Good luck!
-
Thank you! I was actually surprised too. I received great feedback and high comments/remarks about my strong application. I was flooded with compliments (not to brag, but just pointing to my surprise that I was not offered admission). I haven't received funding form Temple yet either. They said early April.
-
I applied to the PhD in information at UofT too. I haven't head anything back yet. My application says "under review" or something like that. Fingers crossed to all of us!

2021 Information Studies PhD Programs
KatGrad757 replied to figtree's topic in Interdisciplinary Studies
Hi all, I just wanted to share my application updates, as of now. I was interviewed by Cornell for their InfoSci program twice but I found out I wasn't accepted. I have been admitted to one of my top choices, Temple's Media & Communications PhD and I'm a finalist at NW's MTS PhD program. I'm applied to a LOT of schools so Im waiting to her back. I feel very optimistic though. Does anyone know whats up with receiving emails form financial aid to set up your financial aid account (and student portals) with schools you've heard back from regarding admissions decisions? -
Hi everyone! My friend send me this forum. I'm not sure if it's making me more or less nervous (lol). I was accepted to Temple! I'M SO EXCITED! I was not interviewed by Temple, fyi. I had 2 interviews with Cornell and was not accepted. I'm a finalist at Northwestern. I have not been interviewed yet (not sure if I will be or not).
