What are my chances at these schools? (media/comm)

[hickoryduck]

From reading through these forums, it seems as if most people are focused on business/IR/science degrees, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm applying to:

GWU - Media and Public Affairs

AU - Public Communication

NYU - Media, Culture and Communication

I'm doing this all fairly late in the game, since a job fell through.

Did my undergrad in Communications, took only a few poli sci and journalism classes. Undergrad GPA was 3.6 (good enough for summa)

GRE

550V

680Q

5 writing

Any insight?

I'd take a close look at those programs. I believe the NYU program is very theoretical and not based on production (although there is some). If you want to study the academic side, you''ll be alright. If you want to so PR or another trade like that, you might consider a more hands-on program. Academic-minded programs are more likely to consider the GRE and your verbal is a little low for communications. I don't think it will keep you out of the running altogether. Just have good references and writing samples.

Those programs are all completely different. It would be tough to gauge your chances without knowing more about your background. You also don't state whether you applied for MA or Ph.D.

Any interest in chatting about the NYU program in media, culture and communication?
