ttcactus Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah, the only thing holding me up is that I haven't seen any applicants to the RPC program report anything, including visits/interviews, nor have I seen any RPC folks report interviewing past years I applied to RPC and I'm going to the welcome weekend - but that's all I know so far. I have just skim read the 26 pages of this thread - has anyone else heard from Pitt? My application status is still showing as "incomplete" despite the fact that under each item in the list of required items it clearly states "received" - baffling. I've not heard from CMU (which is actually not comm) either but I'm assuming it's a no.
comicalgirl Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Rejected by UW Madison. It seems that the official emails of notification will be coming soon, for those interested... You should be hearing from UGA soon. The committee turned in their decisions early yesterday morning. Admin is preparing the letters/responses to applicants.
Kaitlyn721 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 You should be hearing from UGA soon. The committee turned in their decisions early yesterday morning. Admin is preparing the letters/responses to applicants. Do you know if they plan on sending mail or email for responses?
Rhetgirl Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 You should be hearing from UGA soon. The committee turned in their decisions early yesterday morning. Admin is preparing the letters/responses to applicants. Thank you for the intel!
Eileen987 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Has anyone heard from Maryland, Northwestern, or Arizona State PhD programs? I am pretty sure UMD is rejecting me, but I am totally in the dark about Northwestern. ASU accepted me without funding so far. If anyone was accepted to ASU with funding, but is planning to decline, please let me know so that I have something to hope for!
comicalgirl Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Thank you for the intel! Anytime Eileen! I don't know how they plan to contact. You should get a letter/packet in the mail. They only accepted 6 with funding. You can check the online web portal to see if there is any info. I knew I was in trouble when I checked and no longer had access, so I called them. That's how I received my reject bomb over the phone. You can call Debbie Sickles and ask her. I will be seeing some of the faculty at ICA in Seattle in May. But, if you read my most recent posts, I will have to move on from academia. There is no support for my candidacy anywhere that I can attend. This is sad for me, as quite frankly, I have not heard of any other candidate who is about to publish (3rd revise and resubmit status), got paper accepted as sole author to ICA's health communication division and identified $50,000 in outside funding for my dissertation topic (apparently unheard of in the social sciences/communication). I thought all this would make me a strong candidate, but apparently-----not. Best of luck to you!

mediatedself Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I have just skim read the 26 pages of this thread - has anyone else heard from Pitt? My application status is still showing as "incomplete" despite the fact that under each item in the list of required items it clearly states "received" - baffling. This is a known issue and has been mentioned several times in this thread (and speculated as the reason for the delayed admission notifications this year). I heard that someone successfully resolved this problem by contacting the graduate secretary.
Kaitlyn721 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Sorry you had to hear over the phone I can still log into the web portal, but nothing new, just the checklist of what documents they've received.

Hopefully any day now!
asdfferent Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 STILL no word from Northwestern... try the status checker? Hopefully any day now! Isn't the visit weekend this weekend? My guess is that they won't update until after their visit weekend.
Kaitlyn721 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 just got an email from gsu- accepted! devwil and beyondaboundary 2
Eileen987 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Isn't the visit weekend this weekend? My guess is that they won't update until after their visit weekend. Does that mean a group of applicants was invited to visit, and the rest of us weren't? Or is this just an open invitation thing? I emailed them to ask about the timeline, and they said to expect an answer by late next week or early the following week.
leblebleb7 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 At NW visit now - they told us that it's a recruitment weekend with us being finalists and meetings with faculty being interviews. CommPhD20 1
CommPhD20 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 At NW visit now - they told us that it's a recruitment weekend with us being finalists and meetings with faculty being interviews. Thanks for sharing. Good luck!
Eileen987 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 At NW visit now - they told us that it's a recruitment weekend with us being finalists and meetings with faculty being interviews. Good luck and congrats! I guess that gives me a BIG indication of my chances!! Has anyone here been offered an assistantship to Wake Forest and is not planning to take it? WFU is my last best hope and I am waitlisted for an assistantship :-(
devwil Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Got my official NYU rejection. Fairly disappointed, but not as disappointed as I would have been if it was my #1 choice or if I didn't already have one acceptance.
hohummelody Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Can anyone who has heard from NYU's MCCD state whether they received formal acceptance/rejection letters? Is there any indication if everything already went out? I still haven't heard a thing and am thus somewhat dumbfounded.

hohummelody Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Thanks pigwings. That probably means mine is on its way. I hope you have other, better, options in hand.
Rhetgirl Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Has anyone heard of UGA so far? Still without news...
comicalgirl Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Has anyone heard of UGA so far? Still without news...
comicalgirl Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Was told of rejection when I called them, but still have not received an official email or letter by mail. Today is Sunday, March 9th. Only 6 were accepted with funding out of 83 applicants to UGA.
Kaitlyn721 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure I saw 3 uga acceptances much earlier this year too, so unless some of them declined, it doesn't look good. I'm gonna wait and see if I get anything in the mail tomorrow first, then call.
