  1. Well, I don't see anyone venting over film/media studies anywhere else, so I thought I'd start this for any film people to discuss their waiting games. If anyone has updated information on any programs over the course of the next couple months, this should be the place to post! Good luck to everyone! Applied to - Brown, Berkeley, Florida (English- Film and Media Studies), NYU, Ohio State (History of Art), Texas, USC, Washington U (Art History)
  2. Still Waiting- PM me with Columbia questions and I can do my best to answer. I'm an alum of that program and work with it now, so I've got the down low if thats what you're looking for.
  3. I know people at NYU and USC, all happy with the programs, but it really depends what your focus is. Both of the faculties are quite wide ranging. USC has David James, so if your into avant-garde, they have an advantage. NYU has Allen, Stam, Straayer, who give a great mix of Hollywood and international along with solid critical theory from psychoanalysis to gender studies to whatever else. I think they are both pretty great programs. I live in NYC now and love it, so I'd say NYU, but my USC friends always try and get me out there. You're in a pretty good position I'd say. Congrats!
  4. Anyone have updated information or news on NYU Cinema Studies PhD process?
  5. Dalf (and others), I did just finish my MA at Columbia and had a really good experience there. I came in for the program's first year so there were some kinks in the program, and still are a few, but nothing that takes away from the quality of the professors and classes. Class size is about 13-15 students. Variety of ages. Both classes have been about half international students. I heard from them in late March, and think that is about what it should be this year. I actually work for the program now, so I have to remain mum, but I can answer basic questions about the program is anyone has them. I am now applying for a PhD in Film Studies/Cinema Studies/Screen Arts/Modern Culture and whatever the hell else the call the programs. Columbia doesn't offer a PhD (yet) and I wanted to get started sooner than later, but its looking like I might have to wait another year anyways.
  6. I have two overlaps with you (NYU and Brown) but have yet to here from either of them. Like most of the other film people on these boards, however, I have heard from my two California schools (UCSB and Berkeley) and was rejected from both. Apparently some people have been called and emailed by Brown to say they were accepted. Was one of those you? At this point, the best I'm expecting out of them is a wait list. We shall see though. I just finished an MA at Columbia in Film Studies...I was hoping that would help me out, but, so far, no luck. Good luck!
