GCUSER2025 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I have been called for an interview by UW-Madison. Is the interview just a formality, or can one get rejected even after the interview?

I also applied to some film programs, I'm researching Japanese film/media: Yale (EALL and FMS combined PhD program), UC Santa Barbara (Film/Media), Northwestern (Screen Cultures), and Pittsburgh (Film/Media). Has anyone heard back from any of these programs? Any interviews? Radio silence on my end...

filmgradstudent01 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Hi all! What Reddit threads are people following for updates? Found out this morning i'm waitlisted at USC -- please let them know when you can if you're accepted + not attending so that us folks on the waitlist can make a decision sooner! Good luck to all of you!
