Kathiza Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 There's again a UNC result from today via e-mail. Anyone can claim that? Was it Communication Studies or Mass Communication?
Strangefox Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I was also accepted to USC! Cool! Congrats! They fund all students, as far as I remember, so you are really lucky!
maximalist Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 There's again a UNC result from today via e-mail. Anyone can claim that? Was it Communication Studies or Mass Communication? That wasn't my result, but I did get the official rejection from Comm Studies at 12:12am CST today.
Kathiza Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I was also accepted to USC! Congratulations! I just saw you were accepted by Indiana. For what exactly did you apply?
XOwlfan Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Wow! SO much movement on this thread in the past week. Congrats, everyone!!!
Kathiza Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Yes, i also feel like there's finally something happening. I hope next week will be my lucky week. I'll keep you posted. (I can't really talk to anyone else, since I'm keeping my application a secret apart from parents/siblings and some very close friends - so I feel like this board is the only possibility for me to talk about all this... That would also explain my massive amount of posting in the last few weeks ;-))
Kathiza Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Something else... I know there's a thread about this, but I wanted to ask you guys.... Do you have a plan B? Because I.... don't

hellowhatsnew Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 For those who have heard from UNC Communication Studies... were you sent your decision directly or did you call/e-mail the department?
commtome Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 For those who have heard from UNC Communication Studies... were you sent your decision directly or did you call/e-mail the department? Yes, I received the email in which my name was clearly stated, surprisingly, in the middle of the night. It was from the graduate school, not the department.
Gunner24 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Something else... I know there's a thread about this, but I wanted to ask you guys.... Do you have a plan B? Because I.... don't Haha...yeah, not really here either I guess when getting all of my apps submitted in the fall I forgot! Plan B, let's see....sell a kidney, probably. Gunner24 1
hejduk Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Just got a "No" from LSU. Man this is depressing!
mouthless Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 UNC, Phd Comm. Studies Just got an e-mail from Vilma inviting welcome weekend. Un-official letters from her actually was sent about a 10 days ago. (she wrote about my willing to join welcome weekend, and I wrote back in order to confirm my status.) Interestingly (as east Asian) the official decision has not be displayed yet. And hope that the event (welcome event) is not that serious, as I cannot make it. It is a lot of miles to travel if I want to join two-day warm ups. mouthless 1
maximalist Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Just got a "No" from LSU. Man this is depressing! Sorry, and I hear you. My only legitimate chance (unless Washington's English department throws me a curveball acceptance) is the place where I've made it into the small stack of 20. After speaking to a POI on Friday though, I know they're only taking 3 of the dozen or so media applicants (which includes me). Regardless, I might be in for quite a wait before I know something concrete, because they hold onto that stack of 20 until the very end as an unofficial waitlist.
Kathiza Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Nothing nothing nothing. But I got a package today (something really unnecessary I ordered over the internet). That makes for a good day. But tomorrow I really NEED an acceptance. Please!

TVDOC Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 I was reading the results page and someone posted a rejection to Brown MCM program and in the comments section wrote "Their Loss" I just wanted to say that brought a smile to my face. While constantly feeling like we are getting beaten on by these schools with all of these rejections and waiting and lack of available funding, that comment reminds me that we need to stay positive and confident, we've all worked so hard to get to this point and each of us is deserving of the best, so yes, I agree it probably was "their loss!!!!!" good attitude.

Wise words TVPhD! I keep re-reading this post () and reminding myself how many factors go into the admissions committees' decisions. It is way more complicated than those of us on the outside sometimes realize.
CDRR Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Congratulations! I just saw you were accepted by Indiana. For what exactly did you apply? I applied to the Communication and Culture program.
Kathiza Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Got accepted to Indiana. I'm so excited. It took me a minute to write these words because I kept making typos since my hands are shaking. Craaaazy! No info on funding yet, though. Will be sent later in March. I know today was the day! Yihaaaaaaa!

No info on funding yet, though. Will be sent later in March. I know today was the day! Yihaaaaaaa! Oh my goodness! Congratulations! When I saw that the most recent post was yours, I found myself saying out loud, "Please let it be something good!" (The application process is hard enough to get through with a measure of sanity WITHOUT having to additionally work through the Fulbright process.) So happy for you!

Craaaazy! No info on funding yet, though. Will be sent later in March. I know today was the day! Yihaaaaaaa! That is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very happy for you!!! Congratulations!! Do you need extra funding being a Fulbright student?
Kathiza Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Thank you, you are all so great! Seriously! It's amazing how helpful you all are and how patient you are enduring my crazy spamming/posting here ;-) And yes, I do need extra funding. Fulbright provides for the first year of study. But afterwards, I need university funding. The problem is also: I'm not allowed to work for somebody other than my university. So I don't have the possibility to just get a random job to pay for my studies. But it will all work out. I'm confident. The program is a good fit and the professor there is so great.

I think you've had to endure a longer wait than the rest of us, so your patience has paid off!
