jltomato Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Rejection from USC Annenberg as well. Best of luck to everyone who applied!
noahpower Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 So just got a rejection from USC Annenberg. So I guess everyone should be hearing soon about the decisions. Rejection from USC Annenberg as well. Best of luck to everyone who applied! Sad to hear guys. I've also applied to USC, nervously refreshing my inbox now! Also anyone claiming the Iowa interview?
mkm2119 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Hi everyone! I just found out about this site, and I wish I would have known about it sooner! My focus is in Org Comm and I applied to three schools for a Ph.D. I'm waiting on one last letter but so far the results are as follows: Purdue: accepted w/funding (tied for my top choice!!) UT: declined (last choice, so it's ok!) Good luck to everyone
autumn Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Aww, joining the club of USC rejections. I had little to no hope of being accepted to this school so I'm not surprised. Due to the early deadline, my app was definitely not as strong as it was for the later deadlines. Best of luck to those of you who have not heard or who have been accepted!
thegnuguy Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 EVERYONE'S HEARING BACK I WANT TO JOIN THE PARTYYYYYYY =D thegnuguy 1
kadel Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 hey everyone, mostly a lurker here but getting too stressed not to jump in. I come from a fine art background so my PhD quest has been rather loopy and non-linear... I only applied to two programs (largely cuz I'm looking to move back to NYC to be with family!) and one is NYU's Media, Culture & Communication - I see it so rarely in people's sigs, anyone else going out for that one? Anyone know if they interview? Results survey suggests I should hold my horses til mid-Feb, but, what can I say....... thegnuguy 1
grad_wannabe Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I have not received any notice whatsoever from usc. Refreshing my email constantly ... You guys received emails to check the website?
autumn Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 I have not received any notice whatsoever from usc. Refreshing my email constantly ... You guys received emails to check the website? Yep! The letter was actually dated 1/23 so, if you're worried, maybe just check the status through their website. If there's no letter, I imagine that means you made it to the next round? Maybe? I hope so, anyway!
The Pedanticist Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I have not received any notice whatsoever from usc. Refreshing my email constantly ... You guys received emails to check the website? I've checked the website a couple of times throughout the weekend and haven't seen anything. I also haven't heard anything from Wisconsin, which makes me think they might just not have sent out the earliest rejections yet. Oh, well. On the more humorous side of life...I bought 1500 beanie babies this past week and it looks like I'm going to turn them for a 500% profit. (I'm a part-time picker.) thegnuguy 1
Shae Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 ^I haven't heard from Wisconsin either, nor have I heard from UT-Austin and I don't know if no news is good news or cause for panic at this point! Nothing can be done besides constantly refreshing my email though. Good luck on the beanie baby profit! And I'm sorry to hear about the USC rejections, hope you guys get some good news from other universities soon.
grad_wannabe Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Yep! The letter was actually dated 1/23 so, if you're worried, maybe just check the status through their website. If there's no letter, I imagine that means you made it to the next round? Maybe? I hope so, anyway! No letter on my page. Same as it's always been: "Application status: Submitted." Tentatively hoping that means I made it to the next round?! Good thoughts to us all. This is beginning to get really thrilling/mortifying, as the responses are picking up steam. Pedanticist -- that's HILARIOUS. Edited January 25, 2015 by grad_wannabe

That picture is amazing and terrifying. So many doll eyes... lol

My app page still says "submitted" but the USConnect is where the letters are sent. usconnect.usc.edu Holy cow THANK YOU for pointing that out. I was indeed still checking the application page. Still, no decision yet. I felt like I was going to throw up when I pushed the "application decision" button, especially the bit about "USC is pleased to offer you ... the ability to view messages about the status of your application!": "One or more of your applications is currently under review, so a decision has not yet been posted. Please check back periodically for an update." Edited January 25, 2015 by grad_wannabe
The Pedanticist Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Wow. That picture is amazing and terrifying. So many doll eyes... lol It is terrifying. Thankfully they will be gone soon.
The Pedanticist Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 "One or more of your applications is currently under review, so a decision has not yet been posted. Please check back periodically for an update." Yeah, but the first line starts "We are pleased to..." and then finishes send out messages about decisions. What a horrible first line to put on there!
grad_wannabe Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Yeah, but the first line starts "We are pleased to..." and then finishes send out messages about decisions. What a horrible first line to put on there! YES exactly! I thought I was going to pass out when I started reading that sentence. My hands were shaking.
Rhetgirl Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hello Y'all, Best of luck or this time of emails and answers! For those who have questions about UT Austin, Department of Comm Studies, please do not hesitate to contact me! I'll be glad to try to answer any question you may have!
Ghostkitten Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hey hey! Anyone applying to UPenn or to Indiana Bloomington? Any news from those? I keep checking the results search but there's nothing about them, no interviews...
kicker Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 IDK about IU but I also applied to Penn and haven't heard a peep. The blizzard will probably delay things further.
-hermes- Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 UPenn doesn't do interviews and apparently sends out notifications after the first week of Feb, so things seem to be on track for now?
Ghostkitten Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 nice! thanks for the answers it is nice to share the waiting with more people
grad_wannabe Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 nice! thanks for the answers it is nice to share the waiting with more people Welcome to the club!
autumn Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Ugh ok I can't take the constant email checking. Time for a distraction! What is your favorite in-field book? What is your favorite pleasure reading book? What's your current favorite TV show (if you watch TV)?
mikeman591 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Did anyone else apply to UConn? I got in but was wondering what other people's impressions were of their program
