Hey there! The interview went really well... they want you to be very knowledgeable on specifically HOW the Norhtwestern program will fit with your plans. They also want to know whether or not you have the theoretical knowledge of your field because the NW program isn't theoretically based. Dress is business casual, but I was wearing a pretty formal suit because I didn't want to mess up Overall they were very pleasant and easy to speak to. After an hour or so I got accepted on the spot Now its decision time... i only have til Friday!!!! Good luck!! If you have any more questions about the interview feel free to post...

Hey seditykitty, I have a 3.4 overall GPA with a 3.6 comm GPA. It took me about six weeks to hear back, but I didn't get financial aid which might become a problem. I am also really nervous and excited!! Where else did you apply? Teevee

Hey Kerra! Thank ou for replying. I haven't made my decision yet... I am waiting on the joint USC/LSE program. I am in Chicago right now, interviewing for northwestern, which would also be amazing. I have heard though, that for a masters, you should be able to get full funding/paid tution through assistantships and fellowships. Does anyone know how that works?

Andy, I am still waiting to hear back from the joint program between USC and LSE for Global Communications. But yea, I think you are right on the whole name-brand thing for schools, especially for a masters degree. What program did you apply to?

Hey! I got an email telling me to check the status of my application... I got the letter in the mail aweek later. I applied Jan 2nd. I am seriously having doubts now though, I've read that SCPS isn't as rigorous as the rest of NYU and basically accept everyone... I really don't know what to believe anymore, and am extremely disappointed in the application system overall On the bright side I just got into The New School for media studies

Hi All, first post, I am just about to finish undergrad with a degree in Communications. I decided to apply to graduate school, focusing on media management and global communication. So far, I received an interview from Northwestern's MSC program, and an acceptance from NYU SCPS Graphic Communciations Management and Technology. I am still waiting to hear back from several other programs. My question concerns NYU SCPS. I am curious as to the program's reputation and whether it is appropriate for someone who has just graduated college. I know I should've done this research earlier, but at the time I was applying, my life was very hectic. So I applied to 8 programs that seemed they were what I want. I didn't really look at reputations though. I am anxiously awaiting a response from the joint Global Communications program from USC/LSE, as well as The New School. Does anyone have any information regarding the quality of education from NYU SCPS? The more I read online, the more I get the feeling that SCPS isn't as respected as the rest of NYU... I want to make a solid, informed decision about the masters program I join, especially before in debting myself to student loans. So any information right now, is valuable!
