<p>I've just graduated from the University of Western Ontario and I'm hoping to apply to Columbia's graduate journalism program for 2013. I was wondering if anyone could estimate my chances of actually getting in, since it is an Ivy. </p>
<p>I have a 3.7 GPA (82 for all four years). During my undergrad I worked full-time at my university's daily student newspaper (the only daily in Canada and the largest in the nation) for 40+ hours a week as a news editor and features editor. I'm now the editor-in-chief and oversee a staff of 24 editors and control our $400,000 budget, as well as put out a newspaper every day. We have a circulation of 11,000. </p>
<p>I've completed an internship with CTV National News, Canada's most-watched news program, as well. </p>
<p>I've won a few awards and graduated with distinction from my program. </p>
<p>So, do I have a good chance or not? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I also hold a certificate in writing, in addition to my bachelor's degree.</p>
