zoule Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Submitted the application on the first of December, received an email for interview yesterday with an alumni in my area, which is Beijing. I was told that the interview is made up of two parts: a 45 minutes test and a 30 m or so interview. Has anyone done the interview and took the interview test? any heads up or tips would be appreciated.
moribundfecundity Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Had the interview and writing test last week. It's pretty straightforward. They'll likely ask you why you want to go to Berkeley, why now, what you hope to do with your degree, what your media consumption looks like. The writing test is also basic. They give you hypothetical situations and ask you to describe what you would do. My best advice is to know yourself, be yourself, and have confidence. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much moribundfecundity. It is great to hear that you have finised the interview and the test. I, however, am still waiting to hear back from the person that is supposed to interview me. Apparently she is on vacation for Christmas or something. Since I am based in Beijing, the school could only match me to one of its alumni in the area.
moribundfecundity Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Good luck! Hope to see you there in the fall. Activistjournalist 1
Activistjournalist Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I did mine on the 21st. It went well. I hope yours went well. Also, does anyone know why they pick certain people to do interviews and not for others? On the admissions page it says "selected candidates," which makes me believe that these are exceptional candidates they just want to vet some more through an interview process.
moribundfecundity Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I would assume that the ones interviewed made it past the first cut.
artiswhy Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I am also interviewing this week and wondering what to expect in regards to the writing test specifically. If anyone has completed the process, maybe you can explain a bit more about it. Thanks, and good luck to all who have applied
Teka156 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I would like to study Journalism does anyone know a student loan opportunity that exist without a us cosigner or anyone that can help me
zoule Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 hello...have you all heard back from berkerley after the interview..when do you think is the earliest time that they will announce their decisions?

On the admissions page it says "selected candidates," which makes me believe that these are exceptional candidates they just want to vet some more through an interview process. that's a great question. i wonder if they would also admit some candidates without the interview and writing test process or every applicant has to go through such a process in order to be enrolled
zoule Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 I would assume that the ones interviewed made it past the first cut. hi moribundfecundity...have you heard anything back from the school since the interview?
moribundfecundity Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I have not heard back from the school since the interview. Anyone else? I believe the school said that selected applicants would begin receiving notices around mid-February.
bingkuai Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Oh my god. This means so many in China had their Berkeley interviews for this. Kinda stressed. Em...They all have alumni in Beijing but none in other places = = I know the office asked some students to submit their transcript for fall 2012. Really don't know whether those who've been asked for this are going to the next selection round? Oh gosh...Mid-Feb......Really nervous on this!!
bagofnerves Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Just got rejected via email. I don't believe it. It was my top school
Activistjournalist Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I haven't heard anything. I'm kinda nervous, some people have heard back. Anymore decisions went you to others?
Spottedgiraffe Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Could somebody elaborate on the type of questions in the writing test please? I'm supposed to interview this week and I'm pretty nervous so any tips would be very helpful. thanks!

lyssa182 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Any update on the test? I have to take it as well.
