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. I'm sorry you didn't in to your top and only pick. I know how crushed that feeling can be. I hope you took some time to rest and unplug. Onward and upward to see where your path takes you MelissaConway and chidi321 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorScott Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 MASTERS** Has anyone heard from the following masters programs? I'm going insane and I've reached out to all 3 for an update and legit no one responded. like complete ghosting... could it be I just never hear back? Has that ever happened to anyone?

knight26 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Sorry to everyone who is in limbo. I emailed the department at UF, and they told me 2 weeks ago they would be reviewing and sending out decisions 'next week'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s alarming to hear someone got waitlisted though. Is it for PhD? Hi! I'm the one who posted the waitlist for GT. Happy to answer any questions about that status/how I found out.

cooperv125 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I was recently accepted to the LSE/USC Global Media & Communications program. I'm very interested but it would be a bit of a career pivot for me (and it's pricey) and I'm wondering if anyone knows about the program? I'm especially curious about what a reasonable salary range estimate would be for jobs I'm competitive for after the program. I have five years of work experience in foreign policy and communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight26 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 So I emailed Alabama about my TA application I submitted in early February and was told they are making funding offers up until May. I take that to believe I'm on some kind of funding waitlist but I would love it they said so outright so I can get my life in order.

gizemnoktay Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Looking for any info regarding how Arizona State University makes funding decisions! I finally got the admit letter to the Media Sciences program, however, it does not state anything about tuition remission or TA/RAships. Does anybody have info regarding in which timeframe the school makes these decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to get your advise on whether I should reach out the to chair of the program I am applying to. I have contacted the graduate coordinator and asked him about my application status he said that it will be out within two weeks and that a decision has not been made yet, however, that conversation was over a month ago. I emailed again last week and he said a decision would be out shortly, I thought he meant the same day but he told me no. So I am really anxious and I would like to know the feedback as many students have posted that they have been accepted into the program I am applying too since January. So, should I email my POI or the department chair? Any updates??? Larik001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shocked to hear my name because their phones has been suspended or something. Then he told me that the decision will be out by the end of the month. I emailed him again and emailed the graduate department two days ago but no response I am thinking to reach out to the head of the program Edited April 2, 2021 by Larik001 twolucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatGrad757 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hey! I know a few of y’all are waiting to hear back from GA Tech. I was rejected from the digital media program. But I was admitted to a different program - HSTS PhD. I received an email on Tuesday letting me know I was waitlisted and then asking me if I was still interested. I replied back yes and let the person know that I received zero notice of me being on a waitlist. Right after that I receive my official acceptance letter. THIS MORNING, I was sent an email around 8am saying I have to let them know by end of day TODAY what my decision is! Wtf like all of us, my acceptance letter has the national/federal deadline of April 15. When I was contacted on Tuesday there was nothing said about needing to make my decision early, on Friday (today). I’m super disappointed in them. I guess they’re having funding and communication issues. what happened to me is unusual for any school/ program. I still haven’t heard from UMD or VCU yet.
