  1. Mainly media studies, gender studies and fandom studies! That’s why my top choice is USC ?
  2. Owwww, Congrats!!! Happy for you. What are your research interests ?
  3. In fact, this whole process is very obscure. In other threads, I saw people who contacted professors and did interviews that were not accepted. You are applying to great schools. We have some overlap, like USC, UCSB, Cornell and UPenn.
  4. Yeah, I don’t think I will get into USC. My research fits soooo perfectly there, and I love LA. Yeah, I don’t think it makes any difference. But, who knows? I regret not having sent my application within the normal deadline because then I wouldn't have made the small mistakes I made. Did you contact any faculty there? Which schools are u applying to?
  5. I got it in Brazil. I contacted professors from some universities, not all of them (some universities asked students Not to contact faculty.) I had great feedbacks from most part of them. Did some zoom meetings, was really nice. Unfortunately, I know many friends that are doing PhD in US in comm field that did not contact faculty and got in, while some friends that contacted, did not get in. ?
  6. I researched universities that have Brazilian students or that clearly show interest in working with international/Latin students
  7. Hmmm, got it. I applied to 15 programs. Hopefully ate least one will accept me. I am from Brazil, which I believe makes things even more complicated as I need 100% funding.
  8. I also applied to Cornell, but my first choice is USC. However, I applied on priority deadline (11/01) and made some mistakes in my application ? (I don't even know why I applied on priority deadline as it's not for funding purposes)
  9. I did not sign up for any of these programs ? did you only apply for these programs?
  10. Has anyone heard anything from the Northwestern MTS program? Someone posted an interview invitation today for another Phd program from the communication department.
  11. You will be accepted, stay positive!!!!!
  12. This forum is strangely quiet this year. Maybe the number of applicants decreased… trying to be positive
  13. Hmm, I hope so. However, competitive programs are gonna be competitive programs forever lol (sad but true)
  14. Omg! Which program are u talking about?
  15. Let’s breathe ?‍♀️ Happy new year! We got this ?
  16. Thank you! Congrats to you as well. It is not easy. Are you an international student like me?I wish you the best of luck! Things are gonna be perfect for both of us ?
  17. I also applied to UCSB, but to the COmm program
  18. hey!! I am applying to PhD programs in comm or media studies. I have applied to 15 programs lol As an international student, I am very afraid Of not getting anywhere ? I do not feel very confident about my app. I made some mistakes in my SOP that I realized only few days ago. And my writing sample is not that strong. Well, we see lol
  19. Hey everyone. I have applied to 15 programs (I am really exhausted). I applied to PhD programs in comm or media studies (depending on the university). This waiting time is killing me!
  20. I just finished all my applications yesterday. Soooooo stressful. I applied to comm and media programs. I also applied to USC (comm) and Northwestern (tec and media)
  21. Like me, is there anyone awaiting results for Ph.D. in the communication/media field and is very anxious? Let's chat to relieve stress lol
  22. I understand your feeling cause I think in the same way about USC and Upenn. However, we cannot stop believing in ourselves til a decision is made. Are you confident about your application? SOP, LOR, CV, GPA...
  23. Good to know. I can freak out by the mid-Feb if I don't get accepted into any school lol
  24. Thats great to know, in this way u can be relaxed til feb. I dont know when the univ. I applied to will do interviews (actually, some of them do not even call for interview)
  25. I think so kkkkk I hope the universities I applied to like it too. I am freaking out. Specially because I do not see people talking about interview or any kind of feedback for comm/media programs. I dont know if its common for comm applicants to get responses later. I guess I am being too anxious.
