Hi! Can anybody claim the UChicago Cinema Studies acceptance on 2.4? Wondering if they email all the accepted people at once or on different days. Sigh! Thanks

Not UC CMS but received accept for MPhil in Screen Studies at Cambridge! A tiny bit of ease, but not my first choice.

Absolutely! I'm on edge. Really not sure what to expect, even though I am confident in my profile and research. Best of luck to you. I will post an update if/when I have one!

Hi! Have you heard from CMS yet, just curious! Thank you!

Hi! Wondering if anybody else applied for UChicago and if there is any intel on when they send acceptance notifs? Thank you!

Thank you for your insights! I know this is program specific, but, I've been wanting to ask if writing samples can break an otherwise strong application. My writing sample is in a very niche area of the field and shows original research skills, but was also in the 3rd or 4th revision with my professor, and not complete when I sent it. I I submitted the best work that I could for 2 programs, but have found that I needed to do some revisions to the theoretical argument of my paper and to paraphrase better. What I did submit to a top choice was not my best work. Do adcoms take into account that students (like myself) from undergrad may not have the best arguments or writing skills? Warmly, S

Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear that. If it makes you feel any better, I only learned about CLS/was encouraged to apply because I would like to apply for a Fulbright in another post-Soviet country next year. You're so lucky to have gotten that experience! It seems a bit hard to understand the logic in the selection process.

I just got my notification, semifinalist for Russian!

Putting good energy out that we hear today!

Good luck to you as well! Persistence is an admirable trait. I read in the past that the announcements tend to come around 4-5pm ET, do you have any experience with that?

Hey guys, do you think we will hear this week?! I’m spiraling a bit into self-doubt as I read more and more about people who’ve had to apply several times. Eek!
