kay267 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Has anyone heard from Ohio University and the University of Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JskoolwannaB Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have not heard from anywhere yet. Anyone else? Where did everyone apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf77 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hey! I've been wondering where the j-school discussion for 2023 was, so I'm happy to have people to discuss with! I applied to Berkeley, Northwestern, American, BU, USC and Maryland. So far have only heard from American and Maryland but was requested for an interview with Berkeley and USC. This waiting game is so difficult - but hopefully we can make it easier having this forum for support. Thanks for making it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JskoolwannaB Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 did you receive acceptances? any word on when you should hear back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf77 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have received acceptances from Maryland and American. Berkeley said it would be "a couple of weeks" on Feb 15th and I haven't heard back from anywhere else. Have you been given any rough dates?

I think NYC schools should be sending out acceptances this month. Waiting game at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc5011 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Applied to Columbia Journalism and only there....haven't heard back. Has anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf77 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I would love it if anyone would want to share thoughts on choosing a school/if it's worth it to take out loans to attend certain programs (if you're taking prestige/name into consideration, program, etc). What is everyone else thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JskoolwannaB Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 I also wonder about loans for this degree. idk if it’s worth it with the rates that are out there. I wish they could offer generous scholarships that actually cover cost of attending. Do they ever give full scholarships? Columbia announcing on 15th or so. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc5011 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Assuming you're referring to Columbia, they give out around 20 full tuition and 50 half tuition scholarships each year. Re: whether it's worth it for the loans--I have heard unanimously from all the Columbia j-school alum I've spoken to that going to the j-school helps you with networking above anything else. If Columbia barely gives you any money, and you already have a pretty solid network, or have several identified ways of getting your foot in the door, it might not be worth it. That's how I'm viewing it, anyways. But I've also heard that every person that's asked for more money from the j-school, has received more, even if only a little bit. So worth asking for more money either way. completely personal issue, but I will be in a remote area/won't have service from the 14th until the 17th, so I am praying to god that they tell us before then.

JskoolwannaB Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 How many do they admit? I hope I get a full scholarship. Anyone hear from any other schools ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc5011 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 believe they admit somewhere around 300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JskoolwannaB Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Crickets. Heard Columbia sends out results after they update their new student info website… hopefully any day now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JskoolwannaB Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Today might be the day. The new student info page is updated! Fingers crossed for all Columbia applicants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 0 financial aid despite being first gen and low income (on a full ride at my university right now as I’m low income) so the dream may be dead for me unfortunately. Good luck to everyone else though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JskoolwannaB Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Heard back from financial aid. Don’t think I’ll be able to afford Columbia. Would be foolish to attend as I have full rides at other programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGrad2 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hey everyone congrats! I also got in today, but not seeing anything about financial aid. How and when did you hear from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How and when did you hear from them? I got a separate email from Columbia notifying me about financial aid decision. I believe if you're getting aid in the form of scholarships it says it in the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwawayjourno Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 submitted my medill application last week. does it really take 2-3 weeks to hear back? Or do you have to wait until the decision date listed on the site? The site says both so I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
