Expand I think so kkkkk I hope the universities I applied to like it too. I am freaking out. Specially because I do not see people talking about interview or any kind of feedback for comm/media programs. I dont know if its common for comm applicants to get responses later. I guess I am being too anxious.

I also applied to Rutgers, but for Communication and Media Expand They send out the invitations around Mid-February. I actually had a zoom call with one of the faculty members and he is the one who gave me these details. They'll select five candidates out of the 10 (or six, if the sixth one is exceptional) by March. Yeah I have only applied to Ph.D programmes.

Expand My research interests are all over the place lol but predominantly affect, oppressor victimhood and unreliable sources of information (rumours, slogans, secrets).

Expand Your research sounds very interesting. I love to read works that deal with emotions in general. My interests are kind of confusing. Hopefully, I made it clear in my SOP. It's challenging to be specific but not toooo specific, you know?

I know for a fact that i won't make it so I really want a formal rejection as quickly as possible so that I can move on with my life so the wait till February feels unreasonably long :') I don't understand why universities fail to provide clear dates to applicants. it's as if they want us to be anxious

My initial drafts sounded like a phd thesis in itself. As one of my reviewers said, "You sound too sure of your research topic." It's such a bizarre dance between clarity of concept and potential to learn.

Expand That is good—programs like when you are sure about your interests. Almost every program I applied for asked prospective students to be as clear as they could about what they intended to research.

However, we cannot stop believing in ourselves til a decision is made. Are you confident about your application? SOP, LOR, CV, GPA...

THenri Posted January 4, 2022 Author Posted January 4, 2022 This forum is strangely quiet this year. Maybe the number of applicants decreased… trying to be positive
aluis Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 I mean, ugh. I just want my rejected letters so I can stop thinking about it and just know for sure.

THenri Posted January 5, 2022 Author Posted January 5, 2022 Has anyone heard anything from the Northwestern MTS program? Someone posted an interview invitation today for another Phd program from the communication department.
A.M Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Dear Friends. Hope you are doing well. Is there anyone here who applied for the PhD program in Media and information at MSU. How about CU boulder ATLAS PhD program or emergent media at department of critical media? Media and communication at Texas tech or emerging communication at UT Dallas? THenri 1

I hope you are accepted into your favorite program. This is my first choice. But I guess is hard to be admit considering that many American also applying for the program and there is less chance for international students. Do you know how many students will be admitted each year?
