Does meeting the minimum admission requirements guarantee admission?
No, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. A faculty committee of one faculty member from each unit (the Director of IAFS and the SJMC Global Media Chair) will review complete applications each term. The committee may also recommend fewer total acceptances than the 20 maximum if the applicant pool is not adequate in any given year. In the event that the faculty committee finds more qualified students from one discipline or the other, the committee may recommend that more students be taken from that discipline and fewer from the other, still resulting in a total of 20 students.
