Hello, fellow watchers and waiters!

I applied to the following:

• UT-Austin--MA (previously accepted for Fall 2015; chose to go after a job which ultimately went nowhere :/) 
• USC--PhD
• UMich--PhD
• UPitt (w/English)--PhD
• Yale (w/American Studies)--PhD

Still haven't heard from any of them. My focus was fairly narrow--or, at the very least, made me decide against applying to schools like Harvard, UChicago and Brown--I'd like to focus on bisexuality in media, particularly subtextual bisexuality in Old Hollywood/Code films. (Think Captain Renault in Casablanca, for example.) I also applied to several schools in writing for film/television (NYU, Northwestern, LIU, LMU, UT-Austin [again!]), and I'm accepted at one already (LIU), so all hope is not lost if I don't get into a film and media studies program, but I know I'd be happier/more satisfied as an academic who happens to do creative work in their (rare) spare time than a creative who tries to do academic work in their (rare) spare time. Irregardless, I'll be working with what I love, so I'm trying to keep hope alive. 

Well, that's me. 

Well, I got rejected from all my "academic programs," but I got accepted into LIU, LMU and Boston! I'll be attending Boston to get my MS in Television, where I'll also be a teaching assistant. Hopefully, I'll be applying to PhD programs again for entrance in Fall 2019, but for now, I look forward to spending some time in Boston learning more about Television. 

What's everyone else up to, as April 15th fast approaches?

Hey everyone. I'm interested in an MA in documentary film production and studies. Anyone know if there are programs that are funded?
