If I were you, I would wait until eary next next to shoot the department chair or the coordinator an email for your application status.. I personally would feel more comforbale emailing DGS or the coordinator since PhD admission status might be an administrative issue.. I haven't heard anything from UF either, though it's an MA program. My status doesn't even say under review. My non-expert opinion is to email the people related to the department - I've found them the most helpful. Keep in mind I am a newbie, though. @lew334 - best of luck with UF! What program are you applying to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What program are you applying to? I am applying to the PhD in Mass Communication. I sent an email to one of the staff at the School, and was told that the decisions should be going out from late Feb. to late Mar.. Best of luck to you as well!!

I'm applying to their Political Campaigning program. I've never understood that broad timeframe. Maybe it's because I'm new to this but April 15 isn't THAT far away...how could you tell someone two weeks before they need to choose lol? Anyway, I've had my app in since December, I'm hoping the fact that neither of us have gotten rejected is good news. Is UF one of your top choices?

But apprantly it is hard and I am pretty anxious... UF is not one of my choices. My top choices have either put me on waitlist or have been keeping silent...?

doctoralwannabe Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just received an email from Columbia. I was rejected. Did anyone else hear from the school? This year was such a struggle. I applied to 5 schools- 4 rejected and 1 waitlisted. I don't have that much hope on the waitlist but praying for a miracle... Congrats to everyone who received an offer this year!!

It gives those of us still waiting little to no time to make a decision or plan to travel for any safe campus visits. I hope we all hear back this month so we have time to decide. Good luck everyone!

an0nym0us Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 @xarx @gizemnoktay re georgia tech - i saw on results page that someone got waitlisted via phone. this makes me think acceptances must have already gone out too but i still haven’t heard anything either way... what about you both?

Hey i contacted the professor I had an interview with and he advised me to contact the DM admin, which I did afterwards, but no word so far. It’s alarming to hear someone got waitlisted though.

I also saw a rejection for the DM program on 5th March and now this lone Waitlist. I am not exactly sure what's happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelissaConway Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Just got my decision letter from University of Maryland's PhD in Comms program. I did not get in. It was the only program I applied to. While I have a robust career I love, I am bummed about this decision because this program would have been a really great pivot point for where I wanna take my career next. Gonna go pour a glass of something and go feel sorry for myself for a few hours. Then, onward and upward, as they say, to a different path to get where I want to go. Wishing you all the very best as more decisions roll in over the next week or so. gizemnoktay, chidi321, doctoralwannabe and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShivD Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hello! Is anyone here still waiting to hear back from NYU MCC? I have already accepted another offer, but I am just wondering why they haven't yet told me anything about the status of my application: no waitlist or rejection! And it is so annoying!! So if anyone is in the same boat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
