| UCLA | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Rejected via Website on 14 Apr 2018 | A | 14 Apr 2018 | - Was about to respond to those who provided more info about receiving decisions from UCLA, as I was the one who asked about this. Then I got my own rejection letter. What a major bummer. Didn’t even get on the waitlist. Received notification through email to check their website.
|
| (University Of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) | Cinema And Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Rejected via E-mail on 14 Apr 2018 | A | 14 Apr 2018 | - Email telling me to go to status website. Found out that I wasn't accepted. Expected but really, really heartbreaking...
|
| UCLA | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Rejected via E-mail on 14 Apr 2018 | I | 14 Apr 2018 | - Just received news that I will not be coming off the waitlist...AGAIN. Kind of stings. This is back to back years for me haha. "Big gulps huh, alright, see ya later."
|
| (University Of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Rejected via E-mail on 14 Apr 2018 | A | 14 Apr 2018 | - To the poster asking about news: I just received an email saying there was not enough room for me to move off of the waitlist for this fall. I wish you and the others out there better luck.
|
| UCLA | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Other via Other on 12 Apr 2018 | A | 12 Apr 2018 | - Hi All, was starting wonder if I’d hear anything as I’ve received zero notification about decisions, so called the office today. I was told that the latest I would hear would be at the end of the month, which is well past April 20. Has anybody heard anything this week? Thanks.
|
| University Of Texas At Austin | Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Wait listed via Phone on 2 Apr 2018 | A | 9 Apr 2018 | - After the post below, I called and left a message. They got back to me on the 2nd saying the portal doesn't have an option for Wait List, so they just left it "In Review." I was told I'd hear more after the 15th.
|
| University Of Texas At Austin | Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Wait listed via Other on 9 Apr 2018 | A | 9 Apr 2018 | - Anybody else on the waitlist? If so, were you notified by email? Lastly, I was told we would know by April 15, unfortunately, I am still holding on to an offer which is also due by the 15th. Bummer, I was hoping UT would get back to us before the looming deadline.
|
| (University Of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Other via Other on 7 Apr 2018 | A | 7 Apr 2018 | - I, too, did not receive any notification (while I heard that PhD open house took place last Wednesday). I emailed one of the main administration staff members last Friday afternoon, and no answer so far (probably getting one this Monday). While I visited other schools for PhD open house event this week, my heart and mind were in UCLA. Struggling to choose between safe schools is real, but if UCLA chooses me, I would take it in a heartbeat.
|
| UCLA | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Other via Other on 6 Apr 2018 | A | 6 Apr 2018 | - To Pro-Waitlister: thank you so much for this info! Ugh, I really hope we hear closer to April 15th than the 20th...this is torture. Best of luck!
|
| UCLA | Cinema And Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Wait listed via Other on 5 Apr 2018 | I | 5 Apr 2018 | - Dear all: Thanks for all the updates from both masters/phd students. I have been waitlisted 5 times in the past two years for PhD film/cinema/media studies programs so this is what I personally know. No news is great news. Same thing happened to me at Cal-Berk last year (no accepted/rejected) so I called and was told about the waitlist. For those of us on the PhD waitlist, the majority of the programs wait until April 15 to finalize who has accepted or declined, after that, each program (so I've been informed by Cal, Texas, USC) will reevaluate the waitlisted applicants and "re-rank" them according to fit and POI availability. As I mentioned before, I feel like I'm a pro-waitlister at this point in my academic career. Best of luck to everyone. Thanks for all the comments and useful info.

| UCLA | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Other via Other on 5 Apr 2018 | A | 5 Apr 2018 | - UCLA Masters candidate who responded to my inquiry: thank you for that info! It’s so strange to have heard absolutely nothing at this point in time, and April 20th seems very late...oh well, we can only wait. I hope you get good news, best of luck! If any PhD candidates have additional info about hearing from the program, I would greatly appreciate it.

| (University Of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) | Cinema And Media Studies, Masters (F18) | Other via Other on 5 Apr 2018 | A | 5 Apr 2018 | - I know I\'m masters so this might not apply to you, but I also haven\'t received any notification of any kind. I declined an acceptance from another school in (desperate) hopes of good news from UCLA. I inquired about the wait, and they said the sheer volume of responses and the complications they had with application system are causing delays. By April 20th every applicant should hear back through email and/or their getacceptd profile Best of luck to you all.

| UCLA | Cinema & Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Other via Other on 4 Apr 2018 | A | 4 Apr 2018 | - Hi All, I haven’t received any notification at all--rejected/waitlisted/accepted--but reading below, I see that some people have already received messages about being waitlisted. Any advice about what no news might mean? Should I assume I have been rejected? Also where did you receive your notification?
Thank you!
|
| UCLA | Cinema And Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Wait listed via Other on 4 Apr 2018 | I | 4 Apr 2018 | - To the poster who responded to my inquiry: Thanks for the update. I hold two offers (one I've already declined) and the other I'm holding off for UCLA. I feel bad because I'm sure other waitlisted students at the school I hold an offer are waiting on me to accept or decline. Sucks. And good luck to you as well.
|
| UCLA | Cinema And Media Studies, PhD (F18) | Other via Other on 4 Apr 2018 | I | 4 Apr 2018 | - Has anybody come off the waitlist? In other words, has anybody who was on the waitlist been accepted?
