goldenxpenguins Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 For the person who posted on the results page that they got an interview invite for UMich for their Communication program, is this for their Comm and Media program? If so, could you please DM me your POI? Thanks and congrats!

Have any other international students been invited to this event? I was invited to Screen Cultures program last week. Different program, same Comm school. And looks like they do same days for the school

Regarding Northwestern, did you apply to the MTS PhD program? And did you receive a screening call through skype or phone call?

Umich has a department of communication and media, their Ph.D. in Communication & Media program is on their website. The program has two strengths: " an interdisciplinary program with two major strengths: the Social Scientific Analysis of Mass Media Effects and the humanities-based study of Media, Culture and Society." https://lsa.umich.edu/comm/graduates/prospective-students/program-overview.html

DuhGoobz Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Hello all. Decided to jump in on this thread. First round of applying to PhD programs. I've applied to the following schools, and in general, all are media and technology oriented communication tracks. 1. BGSU 2. Purdue 3. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign 4. Mizzou So far, I have been accepted at BGSU, but have not heard anything about funding yet. I will check back in if I see any further results. Congrats to all who have received any type of acceptance, and a big good luck to those still waiting around anxiously.
peacecomm Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Looks like Cornell has done interviews and sent out some acceptances. It was a long shot, but still a bummer! Good luck to everyone else.

It is one department that brings in diverse cohorts. I am not trying to be pedantic, but clarity is important here. Screen Cultures is a completely different department from the communications and media department. Same college, but it is like economics and statistics departments. Totally different.

mediajinx Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 @DuhGoobz I got into BGSU also. Got my funding letter 2 days after acceptance. Tuition, out-of-state waiver, and GA spot at 13,500. Not much to live on, but looking at apartments online it seems doable. BGSU's PhD GA range is 12k-14k according to the salary tables in the handbook. Waiting to see what happens over the next two week with the other schools I applied to.

I got my acceptance letter on the 8th of this month. Haven't received any word about funding. Guess I shouldn't stress horribly as I haven't received other decisions yet. Though, I am curious to know haha. Edited January 30, 2020 by DuhGoobz

Since people are starting to hear back about acceptances and funding (congrats!), I want to point everyone towards the PhD Stipends database. Submitting your offers will help prospective applicants recognize just how little pay we're breaking our backs for, and help us estimate what''s expected for our field and chosen locale.
mediajinx Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 @DuhGoobz If it makes you feel any better, you were accepted before me! I didn't get my acceptance letter until the 20th.

As I know, USC CMS program invites students living outside the US too. (Bc they've got that money.) I'm not sure about Northwestern though. I know sometimes they will do skype for those who could not make it to the campus visit -- if it is an interview.

I've still haven't made up my mind if that's a good enough deal.
sea382 Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I saw a Rutgers rejection post. Has anyone else heard back from their Communication, Information, and Media program?
