autumn Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 So how many schools are we all still waiting to hear from? I'm waiting for 2.
"Panda"monium Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I'm just waiting on Michigan State now. Unfortunately, it looks like they take awhile :/
kingsxrocks Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Still waiting on all 8. But it looks like film / media tend to deliberate later than comm / mass comm, etc.
whitmanifesto Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I'm still waiting from both of mine. I was sure Purdue would have sent out acceptance already (the coordinator said they would have urgh). I've already contacted them once so I'm scared to again.
grad_wannabe Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Still waiting on three. But one is a uk school so that will take quite some time yet.
-hermes- Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 CONGRATS Hermes!! KILLING. IT. Thanks!! UPenn was the only place that was a real contender with Cornell for me, so this decision just got really hard. Hope the waiting process ends quickly for everyone!
mikeman591 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Thankfully already have two acceptances to ponder, but waiting to hear from Michigan State and Arizona, which had a late deadline of 2/1. Hope to hear by the end of the month.
TheFortress Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I contacted the department and decisions on interviews have not been made. They will send out requests for interviews mid-late February. Any new on NYU's cinema studies department, by any chance?
rycolos Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I'm still waiting on Pitt and MSU (MIS program, not comm.) but since there have been acceptances at both already, I'm assuming the worst. Luckily I have 5 to choose from so far...
CaitlinMarie Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Any new on NYU's cinema studies department, by any chance? Sorry! Just MCC...
cadamczy Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 So how many schools are we all still waiting to hear from? I'm waiting for 2. Was waiting for 3 more, butttt just got the official word from Rensselaer. I'm in! So, officially into Duquesne and RPI, waiting on Pitt and Maryland.

The Pedanticist Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Officially got accepted at Kansas. Thus, I'm only waiting to hear from Penn State and Wisconsin (but I assume I've been rejected at both). The application and waiting season are almost at an end for me and the beginning of the decision season looms ever larger.

You have so many acceptances -- do you know yet which one you'll choose?
autumn Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 2/15: Email, accepted to the doctoral program in communication at Penn. UPenn acceptance!! Pleased and surprised.

It looks like you'll all have some decisions to make coming up.
The Pedanticist Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Congrats!! You have so many acceptances -- do you know yet which one you'll choose? Thanks. I won't be deciding for a while. .
jujubea Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Was told to follow up "mid-February" to inquire about funding specifics from UCSB. I followed up today. Sigh. Was told to follow up again next week.
kingsxrocks Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Rejected from Pitt. Saw it coming, but any rejection stings, regardless. Here's hoping there will be one acceptance among the other 7 applications..
cannedheat Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 King-- I was rejected from 4 of the 5 schools I applied to. It only takes one! I have been lurking around on here, but I was accepted at NCSU last week. I'm excited, but they said they had to wait to extend a funding offer. Should know more before April 15th. Frankly, without at least a tuition waiver, I can't swing it. *sigh* I'm in AZ, I'm not entirely sure how out-of-state tuition works for a PhD. thegnuguy 1
kingsxrocks Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Juju & Canned... amen. Pray for that funding. A PhD is not really worth digging into the debt piggy bank.
