10 candidates? OMG! Have they sent out the invitations? Did you apply to PHD programs? I also applied to Rutgers, but for Communication and Media

I didnt apply yo nyu, but I guess they do interviews. Have u applied to other colleges?

Mainly, I am interested in fan studies, media studies, and gender studies

Awesome! We have some options in common! What are your research interests?

Does anyone have any news? From what I've been seeing, communication programs usually only give results from January, right?

Hey! Has anyone applied for USC? I applied for the priority deadline (11/1), but I was informed that it was not related to funding, as all accepted students are fully funded. I was wondering what this priority deadline means. Anyway, when does USC typically release its results?

Thank you so much for posting this info ? If you do not mind to, you could post it on the Thread for comm programs 2022.

Hi everyone! At first, when I applied to a PHD in the priority deadline 11/1 I thought it was related to funding issues. However, when I contacted the director of admissions, she told me that this is not the case since all students are fully funded. But she also didn't tell me the reason for the priority. If it doesn't have to do with fundig, does anyone know what is the purpose/benefit of having an application in the priority deadline?

Great!!! They are not supposed to favor anyone just for applying in the priority deadline. However, I am curious about this priority as it is not about funding issues.

Awesome list! We have some in common, like USC, Rutgers, and UPenn. By the way, did you apply for USC during the priority deadline? I was wondering why they had the priority deadline this year. I know that was not for funding purpose..

I absolutely believe you have chances, and GPA is just a tiny part of your application. Also, you can explain all of your situation on your SOP.

That's a great college list! He have many Universities in common. Best of luck to us

Yeah, definitely our interests are related. Are you an international student?
