yousaidwhat Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Hi there! I'm hoping to apply to a few Media Studies/Communication(s) programs and I'm not quite sure which programs would be best for me. I'm really intersted in new media, technology, mass media, and global communication. One program I'm really curious about is the USC Global Communications program in which you do one year abroad in either Shanghai or London. Does anyone know anything about this program or have first hand experience with it? I'm also curious about the UCLA Cinema and Media studies program...would love to hear about this one as well! My GPA's average (3.3) and I just recently took the new GRE (verbal range: 640-740 and quantitive ranger: 740-800). I've also done a few internships in communication and new media. Again, I'm not entirely sure what programs would be best/right for me, so I'm hoping to hear some recommendations! Thanks in advance!
piggycatmimi Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Hi! I'm also applying to the global comm program! Just finished my online application, now need to send in the transcript to USC. PM me!!
yousaidwhat Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 Hello!!! So glad to have found someone else applying to the USC/LSE program!! I think this might be my top choice but I'm not getting my hopes up...haha. Where else are you applying?
grad_school_waiting Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 I'm applying to their Strategic PR program. The LSE joint program looks really interesting. Good luck to everybody. Where else are you applying?
tealover Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I applied to LSE/USC Global Communication and Media program too!! Have you guys heard anything yet? I am so anxious!!
piggycatmimi Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Hello!!! So glad to have found someone else applying to the USC/LSE program!! I think this might be my top choice but I'm not getting my hopes up...haha. Where else are you applying? Hi! For the LSE application, if I uploaded all my transcripts, do I still need to mail them a copy? I remember the instruction specifically says "if you uploaded here, don't send via mail as it may delay the processing of your application"
piggycatmimi Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I applied to LSE/USC Global Communication and Media program too!! Have you guys heard anything yet? I am so anxious!! I haven't heard anything from either school except for receiving the USC ID... do you know if we need to mail the transcripts in to both school? I emailed USC and the reply was that I don't need to mail transcript to USC. As for LSE, the instruction says we don't mail in the transcripts if we already uploaded them. What did you do?
yousaidwhat Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 Nice to see other people who are applying to the same program! I also haven't heard from them aside from the USC ID...as for the transcripts I haven't sent them in since I uploaded them...hmmm..I think our best bet would be to email LSE and ask? Or have you done this already? I'm anxious too!
tealover Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Hey guys! I sent my transcripts to USC and uploaded them from LSE. When I talked to USC they said I needed to send them to both but LSE said they received mine as well so I don't think we need to send them to both! This will be week 8 for me since I submitted my app! Hopefully I hear something this week or next! eeep! What schools are you guys from?
yousaidwhat Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 i'm from uc davis! what about you guys? also have you guys received the email from lse about creating your account/financial aid? i'm in the process of writing the personal statement for that....i desperately need the money! haha. i will most likely send my transcript to usc....when i logged into my lse account it said they had my transcript so i'm assuming that's covered?

I hope you will hear something really soon!!
beyourownlight Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Hey fellow applicants! Any updates from USC/LSE? I'm starting to get rather anxious as March rolls ever closer...
grad_school_waiting Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Yeah I haven't heard anything from Syracuse. I've already been accepted to two other programs and have a funding offer from one. I'm really hoping to hear from Syracuse soon.
beyourownlight Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Anybody hear from LSE/USC yet??? I still have nothing...I'm about to e-mail them.
beyourownlight Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 If anybody is still reading this/waiting--I e-mailed and got a response in about a week. I was accepted--no funding They still seem to be in the process of notifying accepted applicants, so if you're waiting, it may still be good news!
yousaidwhat Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 congrats!!! i actually didn't get in. so disappointed since this was my first choice.
