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. FWIW I heard from Mizzou early February, but that was two years ago. I'd operate based on what people are saying this year, but if they're at all consistent it's likely coming soon. Hang in

Hang in @DuhGoobzI also just heard from their J-School, so you're probably coming up soon.
gogo2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Anybody heard back from Northwestern MTS phd program? There's only one person who said that he/she received an interview offer and no other posts.. I'm curious if others heard from the program anniethepotat0 1

UPenn and MSU are my white whales (can that idiom be pluralized and still make sense?) and I think they're both going to release while I'm stuck at conference :( invalidSyntax, chidi321 and pierrotlefou 3
grayblack Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I just got my acceptance to Columbia J-School (PhD in Communications)! I’m buzzing. Got an email from the program chair saying I got in! no word on funding - official email to come later Edited February 13, 2020 by grayblack TTZZ, 0reos, invalidSyntax and 2 others 5
chidi321 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Hopefully today will be the day for UPenn answers *fingers crossed* TTZZ and willy8843 2

PepeTheStrange Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Penn State (Communication) rejection came in a few hours ago. Good luck to those who haven't gotten the email yet - should be soon.

interdisciplinaryqueerio Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Hey everyone! Has anyone heard from UCSD Communications? There's one acceptance on the board from February 1, but nothing besides that. In past years, they seem to have sent out rejections and acceptances within a day of each other, so I'm pretty confused...emailed the admission committee contact on Feb 5 and she said all decisions will be made "within the next few weeks." Portal still says "submitted." My partner got into the Ethnic Studies PhD there and so far we haven't gotten into anywhere in the same location, so I'm mildly freaking out. If they reject, please just do it soon!!!! Best of luck to everyone, and congrats on your admittances.
jzz155 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Hi all! Has anyone heard from FSU? My application status is still under review...Not sure if FSU has any interview or not.
PepeTheStrange Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Rejection from ASU Interdisciplinary Comm just came through. I didn't see anyone else applying there but it might be helpful for a lurker. I'm starting to think hoping for a 50% acceptance rate was a little ambitious of me ?
