Dr. Jan Radway, Director of Rhetoric and Public Culture, has contacted all of the eight students to be invited to Northwestern University at the end of this month for an all-expense paid visit from Feb. 28 to March 3, 2013. In fact, she has been in more frequent contact with us as we approach the campus visit. This is not to say that they have extended all invitations because there is no way for me to know that. However, given our email exchanges, I believe they have decided on the top 8 (also, the amount of slots that have for admissions) out of the 90 applications they received. I hope this is helpful for you and good luck with the schools you are still waiting to hear from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear I contacted MSU last week and they said they'd be making decisions at the end of the month so it looks like it'll be a little while yet. Did you apply there, too?

I recall reading that a couple of people on here were contacted by Radway. I guess that the silver lining is that it makes my decision easier:) Best of luck to you!

Sconnie Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I got the call yesterday from Oklahoma. The department has accepted me and is set to offer me an assistantship pending the graduate schools approval. They also invited me to their recruitment weekend in a couple weeks. I'm just happy to finally have an acceptance even if it is still slightly unofficial. callista 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sconnie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Congratulations Sconnie! I'm so happy for you! Getting a call is definitely more personal than an e-amil. What kind of program is it? I haven't heard of Okalahoma Communication program. They have 4 areas of focus in their comm department but the one I applied to was Mass Media/Political communication. They have the largest archive in the country of political advertising. From what information I gathered from my Masters advisor, they fund their assistants very well and they make sure that there is plenty of grant money available to attend conferences. All around it sounds like a good place for me. I am going to their recruitment weekend in 3 weeks, which is also the same weekend of a research conference their department puts on so I should get a good idea of the fit.

Did you contact the media and information studies program or the Comm program? oh, to the best of my knowledge, i know someone was accepted last month...i learned it from a Chinese version of gradcafe...the POI contacted him/her and notified the acceptance after an interview...maybe they are still reviewing applications....best of luck!

agej Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 How's the wait going? I'm waiting to hear back from four schools...and also waiting to hear back from the dream school (AU) after my interview. I think I'm going a little crazy with all the refreshing though. Anyone heard anything from Maryland/Columbia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dknows Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Wait-listed at NYU! Is it kosher to ask them where I am on the list (or if there is one?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypp68 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hello everyone, I've been lurking for weeks, but now that I used the results search properly and saw some people waitlisted for a program I'm waiting to hear from, I thought I'd get brave. I'm interested in asking those waitlisted at the University of Pittsburgh, to which of the concentrations did you apply? I'm only hoping that because this is a social science comm. thread, there's still a chance for media studies spots. But it certainly helps to see people going through the same thing, and to give me a general idea on how quickly departments are responding. I'm actually in a social sciences comm. master's program, but I studied film undergrad and want to return to media studies/qualitative work. I've only had one response from a program so far, and it was a rejection. It was one of my long shot schools, but it's still got me pretty pessimistic about the other 5 I haven't heard from. I'm slowly trying to get used to the idea that I might have to do another round of apps, but it's just not the happiest thought. I realized I wanted to be a professor 4 years ago, so it's hard to imagine not having a clear path towards that goal. Sorry for the vent amidst everyone posting results, but I guess the stress of this has gotten to me. Anyone with an info on Pitt, let me know!

Duna Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Wait-listed at NYU! Is it kosher to ask them where I am on the list (or if there is one?)Perfectly okay to ask them, I think. Although at my school, for example, they don't really do ranked wait lists but have a replacement for every student they admit... But call them and ask nicely (in this case I think calling is better because it adds a personal note to it and you can also reassure them that you're interested) dknows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know where I stand with them so I know how seriously to actually take being waitlisted. If there are twenty people on it, and I am 19, then no need to pay it any thought, I say~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHacSpeVivo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm not on this thread much because I only applied to one Communication program, UMass Amherst. It looks like someone got an acceptance lately. Was it someone on here (basically I'm just probing for information )? Anyone else applying to UMass?
