Carmy Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Hello everyone! Thought I would create a forum for Cinema and Media Studies applicants to try and connect us all together. My work mostly revolves around media industries and national cinema so I've applied to a bunch of programs that I thought would be a great fit (USC, UCLA, UT-Austin, UWashington, etc.) I know that some anxieties may be high as we wait for interview requests and responses, so wishing you all the best of luck! Looking forward to connecting with you all wanlichangcheng 1
wanlichangcheng Posted January 12, 2024 Posted January 12, 2024 Hi, Carmy. Thanks for getting the thread started. I applied to the program at U.W., and my research deals with voice as an embodied political aesthetic in the twentieth-century cinema of a particular country. Good luck to you!
paperproducer Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 Thank you Carmy for creating this thread! I'm also an applicant for a bunch of CMS programs, and I'm not sure if they have started their interview processes like other departments. Good luck to us all!

Expand From past applicants, it seems likely that interview requests will start going out this week. As people submit their results, we'll get a clearer picture of which programs began responding. Hopefully we all start hearing some good news soon!
deimy Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 USC has started the interview process for all finalists.
s11 Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 Does anybody know what kind of questions they will ask in the interviews?

I also applied to the film program at UW, but I still haven't received anything either. It's quite unusual as last year the results came out mid-February. I guess the application pool this year might be more competitive (if anyone has already heard from them then forget about what I said 🤣).
LithmeW Posted March 9, 2024 Posted March 9, 2024 Hi! Does anyone hear from UT Austin or UW recently?

paranoidimpulse Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 i didn't post on the result page, no. i personally know at least one other person who was waitlisted, so i'm inclined to think it's a somewhat sizable waitlist. not sure if they posted here or not.
