Subject: J-school advice?
I've been in a fair-sized newsroom for three years and I'm heading back to sch
ool. Now I have a wonderful but tough dilemma: I've been accepted at UC Berkel
ey, NYU, and Medill for graduate journalism school. (Still waiting, like every
one else, on Columbia.) Just wondering if anyone has some input that can give
me some more insight into those schools? I've got visits slated for NYU and Me
dill, but it's pretty unlikely that I'm going to get from Ohio to Berkeley bet
ween now & the decision deadline. My primary interest is environmental reporti
ng, but I also want to learn some basic photography plus more training in busi
ness & legal reporting. I'd be in the Science & Environmental Reporting Progra
m at NYU, and UCB has a concentration in that area as well. Medill & Columbia
don't have those programs ... but they _are_ Medill & Columbia, you know? Thou
ghts, tips, weather forecasts, sports predictions...?

It sounds to me like Berkeley may be a good option for you if you are interest
ed in a lot of different aspects of journalism because it is a two-year progra
m and it has the concentration you are interested in. From what people in the
field have told me, Berkeley is actually as highly regarded as Medill and Colu
mbia, but is a smaller school and, like Columbia, only a graduate program so i
t doesn't get as much attention as the other top schools. Plus, it's tuition,
even out-of-state, is probably cheaper. Where are you interested in working af
ter graduation? In the East, Midwest or West? Maybe that should factor into yo
ur decision as well.

Post-graduation, I've thought more in terms of the size of papers I'd like to
work for, not necessarily a specific location. I'd be happy anywhere except th
e Southwest or most of the Midwest -- which leaves East or West, I guess. So i
t's still a draw! And I think two years at Berkeley, while being cheaper than
one year at Medill, probably will actually be more expensive than the three-qu
arter-and-a-summer program at NYU. Plus, NYU offered me some tuition credit po
ints, so I hope I'll have some flexibility in exploring other classes because
I won't have to scramble quite so much to make sure I get enough credits. Berk
eley appeals to me because the program does seem so flexible -- but NYU's prog
ram has some specific classes that seem tailored to the kind of training I was
looking for. I honestly think my decision is going to come down to those two.
But I'm hesitant to accept a place at Berkeley if I haven't visited the schoo
l to get a sense of the atmosphere.

It sounds from your last post that you really want to go to NYU but just want
some validation on that choice. That's a great school, and if you feel it is t
he right one for you, you should go there.

Subject: j-school (Columbia)
Hello to everyone who's applying to j-school.
I graduated from Columbia's j-school recently and would be happy to answer any
one's questions about Columbia. (FYI, to those who are waiting, I received my
acceptance letter via FedEx at just this time in March. You shouldn't have muc
h longer to wait.)
I could go on and on about my j-school experience, but I will say this (especi
ally to the person who posted saying that he/she had newsroom experience): *Ma
ke sure* that this is the right thing for you. I also had newsroom experience
(about two years' worth) before j-school, and I was bored, bored, bored to tea
rs at Columbia. You will spend half the year working on *basic* reporting skil
ls. If you already know how to cover breaking news and write features, you wil
l be bored silly.
Basically, I thought j-school was a tremendous waste of time and money. If you
want to go back to school, I would recommend getting a master's in a specific
subject area (environ. science, int'l affairs, econ, etc.) rather than a jour
nalism degree. Think hard before you sign up for j-school. Then think some mor
e. --Abby

Dear Abby,
This is a fascinating post. So you think that my situation (a few posts up) is
really an easy decision to make, then?

Hi "Eugene."
All I can offer is my own experience (obviously), but I think it depends on wh
at you want to do and where you're coming from. Do you know for sure that you
want to be a reporter? Do you have newsroom experience?
The only situation in which I could see j-school making some semblance of sens
e would be if you a) had almost no journalism experience and b)were sure that
you wanted to be a reporter.
Feel free to email me off the board (abby_della@yahoo.com) if you have questio
ns or want to know more about Columbia. Good luck with your decision!

That was generous of you Abby. I, just as Eugene, also await a decision from C
olumbia. I am more interested in comparing it with Medill.
Any comments there?

Hi pug,
I don't know much about Medill. I applied there and got in, but I cancelled my
plans to visit when I found out that I had been admitted to Columbia. I do ha
ve two acquaintances who did the master's program at Medill. They didn't seem
too happy about their experience, but I don't know specifics. Again, I think a
ny j-school experience depends on where you're coming from and where you hope
to be going after the program.
Feel free to email me with questions.

Subject: Dear Abby
Thank you very much for your discussion. At least someone decided to take it u
p with me.
I am leaning about 80% towards the philosophy Ph..D. at this point. I mean, th
ey gave me money, it is one of the dream departments that people talk about, i
t is absolutely exceptional in my areas of interest, I have friends at the sch
ool already, I have no teaching responsibilities. I just need to get used to t
he fact that I got in. I am so totally stunned. It is almost like winning a ja
ckpot in Las Vegas; you go there with a sum of money that you are prepared to
lose, and out of the clear blue you hit one of the real rich slot machines, at
which point you STOP GAMBLING.
And gambling is what I ought not do. I will visit this dream department for tw
o or three days. And then, just on GP, I will visit Columbia Journalism too (n
o, Columbia is not where the philosophy department that so graciously accepted
me is located).
I guess this is one of those experiences that I dare not share with my philoso
phy colleagues. It just wouldn't enhance my popularity index.

Nope .... but I got into both BU and NYU today. NYU was strange -- I got an e-
mail from a professor saying I was in. Hopefully the Columbia decisions will c
ome down next week!

Congrats on BU and NYU, both good programs. I thought BU's program in D.C. was
pretty cool, and NYU's location is hard to beat.
Like you, I'm still waiting for Columbia to come through... I think it's funny
that we all seem to be waiting for this one school. Best of luck to you, and
keep us posted.
In the meantime, is anyone going to Medill's open house on April 11?

Hi all, Does anyone know how the broadcast journalism program at Syracuse Univ

? I'm still waiting to hear from Columbia like everyone else... Thanks for the
help. -Liloulou
