<p>I was feeling pretty let down with all the science-related results and stats threads stickied around here and wanted to start this up for all MA and PhD humanities and communication-focused applicants for the 2011 cycle</p>
<p>Maybe this can get stickied, too?</p>
<p>I actually only applied to one school (my alma mater) for this year…</p>
<p>Undergraduate Major: Writing (BFA) / Music Industry
Undergraduate Institution: USC (2010)
UG GPA: 3.0 (Damn you, BFA!)</p>
<p>GRE
V: 650 (I know it could be better for a writer…)
Q: 490 (Hey, there’s a reason I’m not applying to engineering school, right?)
W: 5 (whatever)</p>
<p>Misc:
Music writer for college newspaper (4 years), Director of Promotion/PR for college radio station, radio station DJ (4 years), freelance journalist, music industry experience, currently working professionally in journalism</p>
<p>Applied:
USC Annenberg MA in Specialized Journalism (The Arts)</p>
<p>Haven’t heard back yet, but the application deadline was March 5 and I applied a little before then. I know I might be on the fence, but I think my professional experience as a music journalist, plus the fact my old professor is on the admission board and said he will fight for me, might be positives!</p>
