On Saturday I received an official rejection from Indiana University (Bloomington) Culture and Communication Program. This is the first response I've received during this application process, I'm pretty bummed by the outcome. I'm also beginning to panic as I foolishly assumed this was the one program that I would at least gain admittance. This decision really leaves me questioning all of my application material, mainly the SOP. Is it possible to resubmit a SOP to the programs that have not made a decision yet? After further review of my SOP, I feel I could really improve on some of the points I made, and provide a stronger focus on my academic goals.
