Hi! I have been alone in the PhD application waiting game until I found this thread!!!

I’m an international student from the Philippines and my research interests are in critical algorithm studies, platform governance and disinformation studies.

I applied to the ff:

NYU MCC

Northwestern MTS (Accepted )

Oxford Info, Comm and Social Sciences

LSE Data and Networks


I have been anxiously waiting for NYU ??? Also, any of you here also applied to Oxford and LSE? Any info would be appeciated ♥️

Heeey everyone!! I just wanna share with u all that I have been admitted to northwestern MTS PHD Program!! I have never imagined getting into one of my dream schoooools!! SOOOO HAPPY!!!! I also got admitted to UOregon today, but I will decline it!!

Congrats THenri! I got in the Northwestern MTS too ❤️

Just a question: It was also the program director and Dr Nathan Walter who interviewed me. Does it automatically mean he will be my program supervisor? Or do you know if he was just assigned to interview us and we will be assigned to our preferred supervisor later on, should they choose us? We are not quite aligned with our research interests, that's why I asked.

Ownnn congrats!! Great to know? Are u going to their recruitment event?

I was also interviewed by the program director and Dr Aymar Christian, who I mentioned in my sop. However, I also believed that our interests are not quite aligned. I have spoken to some current students, and they told me that u have a first year POI assigned for us, but we can change it easily later, during the second year. Maybe, they will assign Dr Nathan in your first year and later you can change. Or, you can find another professor and make a a suggestion.. I believe in the recruitment day we will have a clear picture of how it works. The important thing is that we can change it with no problems!

Hi Guys. Has anyone received any update from Emergent Technologies and Media Arts Practices (ETMAP)  practice at CU boulder for an interview? What about Texas tech or UT Dallas programs? Has anyone applied to these programs/.?

Hey everyone! Just found this thread and happy to see others in communication waiting for their admission decisions. Just like a few others here, waiting to hear back from USC. Also applied to Memphis's program; wanted to see if anyone else applied there.

This whole USC waiting thing is driving me crazy hahahaha

Yeah!!! Same boat. Although I know I made

many mistakes during my application (I applied Nov 1), still have hope! However, I have to say that between USC and Northwestern… omg, difficult choice.

Yeah we still have hopes!!!

also last year the result came out yesterday/today. Don’t know why this year it’s taking so long… USC actually emailed me last week to ask me resubmit my transcript. Maybe they just started reviewing our applications.

Congrats!!! I was accepted but waitlisted for funding at USF. and I made an account just to say thanks. 

 

But while I'm here, has anyone heard from Boulder? They have me tweaking around this time every evening. Regardless, I'm thinking about how many of you I might have run into at Seattle's NCA. Hope everyone is doing well!(:

Has anyone already received any decision from UC Davis? Got an interview about 10 days ago and no reply yet. I saw someone posted an offer but seems that it is an isolated case (i.e., no information about rejection or waitlist, or any other offer yet). Kind of worried about whether all the offers are already sent out.
