Just got this email from City University’s “Postgraduate Admissions Team”:
“Owing to the number of applications received, we will be unable to contact all candidates invited to interview by the 6th of March. We aim to be in touch regarding the status of your application by the 20th of March.”
@MichaelHaddon says “You will need to get used to things like that if you come here for your MA, administration is not the department’s strongpoint!”
I’d be willing to cut some slack to the department here. There’s some evidence that MA courses in the UK have had a massive increase in applications recently, so it’s probably unavoidable. I’m just angry I’ll have to wait another couple of weeks. The suspense is killing me!

I hope you will be accepted! Your interview with Samira Ahmed was really interesting. Which programme have you chosen? Myself, I got an unconditional offer of a place on the MA programme in International Broadcast Journalism last month.

Any news yet?
My friend was interviewed on the 8th for investigative journalism, and I know that she rang up and was told she’d been accepted.
Good luck!

Yup, I got in and paid the deposit! Very exciting! Still looking into halls and how to actually fund the thing, but can’t wait. :)
