  1. At 3:15 this afternoon, I got an e-mail saying I could check my Georgia Tech application status after 5. I checked it right away, and all it said that a decision had been made. From 5 to 5:45 I refreshed the web page pretty obsessively, but I didn't see any new information. Then I let it sit for a couple of hours and distracted myself away from it. I went back to the page, and a decision letter PDF was available. It wouldn't download on the first try, but on the second attempt... an acceptance letter appeared! I'm quite ecstatic! The game studies faculty there is amazing... unless UB offers me something completely unexpected, I have to imagine I'm going to Atlanta!
  2. Getting super anxious about my remaining notifications...! It could easily be a few hours from now or a couple of weeks from now for both of my remaining schools... definitely nerve-wracking and distracting!
  3. Got my official NYU rejection. Fairly disappointed, but not as disappointed as I would have been if it was my #1 choice or if I didn't already have one acceptance.
  4. An entry in the results survey is claiming that if you haven't been interviewed for NYU-Steinhardt's MCC PhD, you're out of the running. I wasn't interviewed. Any reason to hold out hope for that program?
  5. After some stereotypically anxious investigations on the matter: NYU MCC decisions should go out in "early March", from what I've been told. I was also told that Georgia Tech's Digital Media program is hoping to send out PhD decisions "within the next week or so".
  6. NYU sent out some decisions at exactly this time last year... it's hard not to be anxious.
  7. I got an e-mail from CU Boulder! Accepted! Earlier today, I got a very encouraging e-mail from a Boulder professor who's overseeing some of the graduate curriculum of the new college. He got my hopes up and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Edit: I went ahead and posted my result to the survey and suddenly the GRE fields were QVW instead of VQW like I'd been reading for weeks... gah! Screwed it up! Re-submitted, hopefully my marking the earlier post as spam will get the job done... :x
  8. Hey everyone! First time poster, long time oh-gosh-what-is-new-on-the-results-survey-page-and-wait-when-did-University-X-send-out-decisions-last-year-and-what-day-of-the-week-was-that'er. So, I'm playing the waiting game too... applied to CU Boulder's Media Studies PhD, Georgia Tech's Digital Media PhD, NYU's MCC PhD, and the University at Buffalo's Media Study PhD. I'm in my (expected) final semester of UB's Media Study MFA, and over the past year I've decided to go for a PhD. Until reading this thread, I hadn't seen that Boulder had announced this new college publicly, but I presented a paper at CU Boulder less than a month ago and was informed at that point about the transformations happening surrounding the Media Studies PhD. From my perspective and from what I heard from one of the Boulder professors, it's an exciting and encouraging direction that could be incredible to be involved with early in its existence, but I appreciate that some folks may be dismayed by it. Thanks to the poster who said to expect a decision from Boulder on Thursday or Friday... that ought to settle some of my anxiety about this whole process, for a few days, at least!
