Hi everyone! I was admitted a few days ago to U Michigan's Comm PhD and just scheduled my visit. It's the only program I applied to that isn't in a big city, but their program looks like a good fit for my interests, which are communication and regional integration processes. I was also admitted to Maryland back in December, just a few days after I applied, which was surprising. Did anyone else apply there? They place highly in some rankings, but are pretty low in others. I'm still waiting on 5 more programs in the US (Penn, Washington, Austin, NYU, Northwestern) and 1 in the Netherlands (UvA).
