Communication/Media Studies Ph.D Fall 2014--Apps, Decisions, and Waiting...


Recommended Posts

I got invited to the MTS visit and the email I received today made it seem likely that there were 3 big weekends for NW campus visits across the grad school:

Feb 13-16 / Feb 27-March 2 / March 6-9

I'm visitng the very last weekend.

 

Are these the visit weekend dates for only Comm programs or all NW grad programs?

I'm not sure if anyone else applied to UIUC's Communications department or not, but I just called them. The person I spoke with said that they hadn't even met yet, but expected to have decisions out by the end of the month. More waiting!

Good to know! Now I can put the anxiety for that department's decisions on the shelf (for now).

Thanks, guys!  Just excited not to be rejected haha.

 

How did they reach you? Seems like a not-so-good sign for me.

 

The department sent me an email with a pdf letter attached.  And it just came like an hour ago so I wouldn't give up hope yet!

Not for interpersonal but I have a coworker who also was accepted to Kansas. She was told Wednesday that they have all their funding offers out at the moment and the only way that she would receive funding is if someone declines or they find some more money in the budget somewhere.

 

For what it's worth, I don't think that's a death sentence. I was told the exact same thing by Utah but it still sounds like I'll be getting a funding offer after I go out there for the visit weekend in a couple weeks. Still sucks though.

Just heard from Indiana (department of culture and communication).  They're still making decisions, so if you haven't heard anything, expect something in the next week or so.  FYI in case any of you applied there and are still waiting to hear (as I am).

Yeah, I called them today as well. They said I was still in committee. I'm now resisting the urge to call and say, "is it out of committee yet? How about now? How about *now*?"...
