Has anyone still not received an email about funding? -

To be honest, I did not think my Medill interview went well, so I wouldn't jump to a conclusion yet, but that's awesome that you feel good about Columbia! I actually think I'm leaning toward UC Berkeley at this point, but still waiting for their email about fin aid. If it's too expensive, I'll probably go to BU as I got a good offer there and could TA there as well.- 84 replies

Just got the call from Northwestern. They included an acceptance letter in the admissions portal and will follow up with fin aid info by next Friday!- 84 replies

Also just got the call! Accidentally hung up on Ed Wasserman (oops!) and was hysterical on the phone. Best of luck to everyone! -

Just in case anyone else was nervous when they didn't receive a decision from BU on Thursday as it seems like some folks did, I just received a letter of admission today, so it seems like they didn't all go out at once!- 84 replies

Saaaame. I decided pretty last minute to submit and was really scrambling. Oh well! We did the best we could with the time we thought we had! -

It's kinda frustrating, especially when they told us early March. I know it doesn't work like this, but I really feel like they owe us information at this point gah! I've called the admissions office twice and no one picked up, and after leaving a voicemail over a week ago, no one has returned my call. :// -

Gah literally same. Truly made me less interested in attending (and yes so expensive!!). I like to think if they put such little effort in getting to know their applicants and electing not to do interviews, the Kira assessment can't carry too much weight but I guess we'll see. I actually live in Boston now and am feeling readyish to leave, but I haven't heard back from any J schools yet so still want to hope for the best all around!- 84 replies

@GradCat2022haven't heard anything but will update if I do. Neurotically checking my inbox and application portals multiple times a day lol. Also this was way back when but just wanted to say I also thought the Kira assessment was horrible. Just an awful design, questions that I truly thought were stupid and unhelpful. The whole thing was way more impersonal and anxiety producing than an interview imho.- 84 replies

Just wondering if anyone has received a request to interview at for Berkeley's school of journalism yet. Seems like that fact that UC Berkeley extended the deadline to apply to March 6 and adjusted the admissions timeline on their website means everything is happening a little later. I guess I'm just getting kind of nervous because interview requests had mostly gone out by this time last year based on previous forums, but I haven't heard anything. -

@GradCat2022 Just saw that UC Berkeley also extended their deadline to March 6...deadline was originally Dec 1! Wonder why schools are doing this.- 84 replies

Oh yeah--I definitely still think it's worth going I applied to Magazine at Medill as well! Also need to do an interview for them...and have really been putting off my Kira assessment. I honestly hate the way it's designed (feels so unnatural, at least doing the practice questions!), but I bet you did better than you think.- 84 replies

Hi! I decided pretty last minute to apply to J-school this round. Threw together an application to Berkeley last month...now finishing up apps to Medill and Boston University. I was an anthropology major as an undergrad, then spent 2 years working in a public health research institute in Boston. That job ended during the pandemic, so I started freelance writing. I've published a fair amount of clips in the last year, but don't have much formal journalism training, hence the application to J-school. To be honest, I've talked to a lot of folks in the industry who have discouraged me from applying because you can theoretically learn how to be a journalist without paying tuition, but I kind of feel like some formal training and making connections will help a lot more than the sporadic opportunities I've landed as a freelancer. Will be interested to hear more from everyone!- 84 replies
