    Definitely don't go to an unfunded MA when you have a PhD offer. You can always transfer out during your PhD, but two more years of MA + 60k a year at a private school like Duke is simply not worth it.

    I didn't apply there, but I doubt that the PhD acceptances haven't gone out yet...There is a chance, however, that you are on their waitlist? It's definitely worth it to send an email to ask. It happens to me for UCSB too. I haven't heard anything from them officially, but my MA advisor who knows their faculty pretty well said that I am probably waitlisted.

    I got an offer from NYU Cinema! They called yesterday. I think these are all great schools, probably just depending on which one offers the best funding and quality of life...Being in UK definitely gives you easier access to archives there, and sometimes UK degrees might be perceived as more prestigious than Canadian ones globally (which was the ultimate reason why I didn't apply to Concordia). This is, of course, a very problematic phenomenon, but also an important factor to consider.

    What do you work on? All great schools, but I love Concordia! Very strong emphasis on global media and got a lot of great scholars working on media technologies in recent years. BTW, I do plan to decline NYU offer soon (they are only giving me 2 weeks to consider anyway), so I hope this helps!

    I think the U.S. is similar when it comes to PhD application. Statement of purpose might sound a bit more loose than a thesis proposal, but I think the competition has become so intense that a good SOP has to be a feasible dissertation-size project. In any case, some likely questions (I've done 5 interviews so far) are: what's your project in simple terms (since many of our research can be so complicated nowadays)? What is your methodology and intervention? Where does the idea of your project come from? Why our school? I think almost all my interviews had these questions. They usually also try to leave 5 minutes for you to ask questions, so definitely take advantage of that.

    Me too! I thought I was a good fit there, but the department culture might have also shifted a lot with the new chair.

    I emailed but heard nothing lol. I don’t think they do interviews historically, but this year just seems odd..

    Has anyone heard anything from Brown? I am not sure what causes the delay, but their results should be out weeks ago based on the past timeline...

    Slightly unrelated: has anyone heard from USC's Cinema and Media Studies MA program? My friend applied and thought I'd gather more info here.

    I did! Their decisions usually come out the latest of all...Probably won't hear until early March for interview. Decisions come a week later.
  24. nomis97
    Not entirely sure, but I think so!

    I didn't apply for UCLA, but my cohort member got accepted! Haven't heard anything from Berkeley though.
  26. nomis97
    You may be right! Hope there won't be too much of impact funding-wise

    Has anyone heard anything from UCSB? Had an interview 2 weeks ago and has not heard back ever since. In the past they seem to admit people pretty soon after the interview...
