I'm sure this is a huge shot in the dark but if anyone was admitted to UNC and is turning down their offer, please do asap. I'm near the top of their waitlist and it is my top choice. thanks SO much!

For those who have heard from UNC Communication Studies... were you sent your decision directly or did you call/e-mail the department?

Out of curiosity, for those admitted-- what is your focus?

Has anyone heard ANYTHING from NYU (American Studies)?

Has anyone heard anything from UNC Communication Studies?

Hi - I am applying to the University of Minnesota/UMN and am very confused about their application. On UMN's application, there are two different places to include what is differently identified as something like a statement of purpose. On the main page, it asks for "Statement #1": "Please provide a statement outlining your immediate educational and long-range career objectives in relation to your chosen field. If there is a particular faculty member with whom you wish to study, please give that person's name and explain why you want to study with that person. You may also wish to include other information, such as any undergraduate research experience, internships, or other experiences you may have had to document your preparation for advanced study in your chosen field." Then, in the departmental section for American Studies it asks for a statement of purpose defined as an Academic Statement: A typewritten statement (not to exceed three double-spaced pages) outlining your interests and professional goals and how you think American Studies at Minnesota will provide focus and instruction toward your goals.) Here it also asks for the CV and writing sample. I'm wondering if you recall if Statement #1 and the Academic Statement are the same thing? Please help...
