Denied via email but super surprised because interviewer said he would recommend. also surprised because got into Annenberg for graduate, and Berkeley was a backup. Oh well

I have not heard back at all from Berkeley, the coordinator told me that everything should be out by next week. Here's to hoping! Anyone else still waiting?

Following my interview in December, I didn't receive any info from UCB or the department until I was notified via email by a faculty member that I was accepted. I think some international students receive phone calls but I don't know if everyone does.

I interviewed in person back in December and when I saw people were getting phone calls I knew if by the end of yesterday I didn't I would be getting a rejection letter. This is the email I got. But considering it wasn't even addressed to me I figured it was standard rejection email. And from other people it sounds like everyone that was rejected got this email? If that's the case, I'm very dissapointed. That just wouldn't be right! Your application was strong, and unfortunately we are unable to offer you admission to the Master of Journalism program at UC Berkeley this year. We take pride in our small classes and the hands-on mentoring style of our instructors and faculty, but this means that we have to limit the number of applicants that we can accept each year. In your case, if we could admit just a few dozen more applicants, your application would have been accepted. Unfortunately we do not use waitlists, so this decision is final. However, this means you have a strong chance of admission next year. I'd be happy to talk with you further about your application so I can offer you feedback and encouragement. With another year of reporting experience and writing practice, your application will certainly be even stronger. I’m on leave until the end of April, so I won't be able to offer you feedback on your application until then. Please contact me then so we can set up a phone appointment to review your application. I look forward to talking with you in a couple months, and in the meantime I wish you the best in all of your endeavors! Best regards,

Was also "waitlisted" like the person below, though they don't do that. I'm 21, so they wanted me to get more experience for next year and said I then have a strong chance.

"In your case, if we could admit just a few dozen more applicants, your application would have been accepted." Good luck to all!

very disappointed, received the email this morning, congrats to those who succeed!

Does anyone who has been accepted know when they will release financial aid info or if they've offered us funding?

Super excited! Still need to figure out funding, though!

They just called me now! The professor was so nice. I'm so grateful and excited! Good luck everyone!

Just got a call from one of the professors! I'm an international student (TOEFL score 112), so to the posters below: if you're accepted big chance they'll call!

Happy for now! Any other SciJour applicants? And yeah, I'm waiting for Berkeley too!

Hi I'm international and I haven't heard anything either! I wonder if they'll call or email us. An intl call is kind of pricey

Has any international applicant received news on this? For what I see here, only US students have been notified!

Very nice phone call from a professor. My top program. I'm thrilled! Now I just need to figure out the $$$.

got a call today

I was offer the admission two weeks ago and today I received an email offering a full funding for for years + fellowship. Cost for trip to the visit weekend would be covered up to $700.

They just callled!

Has no one heard back yet from Medill either??
