I was in their waitlist, but have not heard a word yet!
Apparently their deadline for offer acceptance is 4/15, so they said waitlist movement often doesn’t occur until the week of and even a few days after that deadline. (Which would be more irritating if I had other offers to consider but since I don’t, I could care less when they call me so long as they do eventually ??)

Received rejection from CU-Boulder today, it’s looking like it will be getting off the waitlist at Rutgers or bust for me this year, which if it works out will be great since that was my dream program…
*crosses fingers full of existential dread*

Accepted Northwestern’s offer! I am SO excited about the school and Chicago!
Congratulations! I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and my uncle used to live in Evanston so I can absolutely assure you that you’re going to love it!!! Feel free to reach out if you want any recommendations on places to eat/stuff to do and hopefully we’ll all see each other at NCA or elsewhere

Did you accepted to CU boulder emerging media arts program (critical media) or media studies?
I only applied to the media studies track of the Media Research and Practice program, but I’ve heard nothing from them. From browsing past years’ threads and results though, it seems that dead air for months and months followed by an acceptance or rejection out of nowhere in late March or April is pretty common for them. Wish I had a stronger POI relationship there so I could be put out of my misery ? for now though I’m checking the portal every three hours like a crazy person.

Seems like the season is winding down! Has anyone made their decisions yet and accepted an offer somewhere?
-
Has anyone rejected or plans to reject an offer from Rutgers? Waitlisted and anxious lol.

Hey, I'm waiting to hear from Boulder as well, and it was rather disheartening to see someone else heard back. I'm in Org com and they still haven't updated their portal - so anything could happen! sending positive vibes your way
Thanks, fingers crossed for you too!

Has anyone heard anything from Media Research and Practice at CU-Boulder? (The concentrations are media studies, strat com, and info studies).
I know someone got accepted to their comm program yesterday from the results page but was just wondering if any applicants from these concentrations (or the EMP program) had any updates.

did u reach out to anyone at rutgers? when did u get the email?
I have a media studies POI and I received the waitlist notification around 3pm.

has your portal shown that your app is under review?
Nope, I'm fairly certain the graduate programs don't actually use the portal in the same way as they do for undergraduate applicants so its entirely possible they complete reviews and make their decisions without the portal showing any updates.

We dont know about that!!! Let's stay positive!!!!! This is the part of the email.
Please note that this is a highly fluid situation. If admitted students decline their admissions offer, we will immediately admit a candidate from the waitlist. Therefore, it is still quite possible that you will be admitted to the Ph.D. program and possibly a full funding offer. We encourage you to hold off on making a decision about where to enroll for your Ph.D. studies until we see if a position becomes available for you in our program.
We will be hosting our Recruitment Day for admitted students on March 4th, 2022. Although you are not yet admitted to the program, we would like to invite you to attend the recruitment day since there is a strong possibility that we might end up extending you an offer at some point in the future. There will be an on-campus event for students who are local or feel comfortable traveling to New Jersey, along with a synchronous virtual option to attend via Zoom for students who are international or uncomfortable traveling at this time due to Covid. Please, kindly hold that date on your calendar, as more details regarding the event will be forthcoming.
Yeah, I got the first paragraph in my email just not the second; you must be pretty high on the list, congrats!!

Same boat! Did they invite you to ther recruitment day? I felt like there is a lot of chance of getting out ot the waitlist
There was nothing about that in the email which makes me think I am probably lower on the list

Received first rejection today from UMN; sad but unsurprised as I had a very weak relationship with my POI and felt my SOP was somewhat half-hearted.
Anyone with more happy news from today?

Has anyone who applied to UW-Madison Communication Arts in the RPC concentration heard about an interview? I see them for other concentrations on the results page but none so far for RPC…I know it receives fewer applicants than the others overall so just curious (and nervous obviously haha!)

Hi again. I am very stressed. Anyone received any update for interview or result from MSU, media and information PhD program? What about CU boulder.?
For CU Boulder I know the media studies application period just ended, though I know the emerging media app closed a while before. Not counting on hearing from them anytime soon.

Fall 2022 Application Thread for Communications Program
Hi all,
I am from Brazil, an international student already getting craaaazy with this!
I can't be the only one here who's already started this process, right?! I believe we can help each other here through this stressful process
I have my BA in Communication, an MBA in Marketing, and I am in the last semester of my master's in Communication with a concentration in technology and culture. My key research topics for Ph.D. are fan studies, participatory culture, social media, media studies, and gender studies.
I'm primarily looking at programs with technology/media/gender emphasis. Anyone else out there interested in those topics?Anywho, here is my list-in-progress:
- Upenn
- University of Florida
- University of Oregon
- Syracuse University
- University of Massachusetts - Amherst
- USC
- University of Maine
- UC davis
- UC San Diego
- Rutgers
- Cornell
- University of illinois at urbana-champaign
- Northwestern University
Can you also share other programs that you might be applying to as well?
Welcome Thayane!
I am applying to:
Rutgers (Media Studies),
University of Minnesota (Communication Studies),
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Communication),
University of Colorado-Boulder (Media Studies),
Bowling Green State University (Media and Communication),
University of New Mexico (Communication),
and University of Wisconsin-Madison (Communication)
My work involves critical discourse analysis and ethnographic research into reactionary extremist groups online, so it seems our interests are somewhat related!

Hi everybody!
State school M.A student here stressing about POI's, publications, and everything else that goes into this incredibly stressful process of application season!
Looking at 6-7 different programs, either in media studies or critical/cultural studies (such a weird dichotomy between media studies and comm programs at so many institutions in spite of no real epistemic/ontological difference between media studies and much of comm theory/methodology)
Anxious but enthusiastic and glad to be here showing solidarity with you all!
