<p>Mizzou website lists a "priority" deadline of Dec. 1st. Do they have any other deadline? I was interested in applying since I'm into Broadcast Journalism. I also heard they auto-admit you if you have certain SAT scores. I would've done it earlier, but I couldn't see myself in Missouri for 4 years. Now I don't think I'd mine so much.</p>
<p>You still can apply to the university. December 1 is due for scholarship priority consideration.<br>
To be admitted directly to the school of Journalism ( if you are interested in Broadcast Journalism) you need to have scores 1280 or higher on the math-verbal portions of the SAT.</p>
<p>1310 :cool:</p>
<p>will I have to send a transcript even though I'll be admitted already? nothing wrong with grades, just laziness :D</p>
<p>Of course you do. You have to complete the application, which includes sending a transcript and test scores. Keep in mind that if you do go to Mizzou, laziness won't work in the j-school. ;)</p>
<p>lol, thanks everybody, and I won't be lazy in the J-school. Journalism is more fun than applications lol.</p>
<p>I am also interested in this. I recently took interest in the Journalism school too, and I am regretting not applying earlier because now I could definately see myself in Missouri. Is it too late to apply? </p>
<p>Also i have a 1210 SAT 1900 combined. Does this mean I would be automatically be admitted to the school, but for pre-journalism instead of journalism?</p>
<p>Is it risky to go for pre-journalism or will i be okay?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You would be admitted to Arts & Sciences as a pre-journalism student, not to the School of Journalism. Check the j-school website for information about what would happen next. It is too detailed to post here. I can't comment on the risks because I just don't know. Maybe mizzoumom would have an answer! It is not too late to apply, but do it soon, because applications are up and housing is tight. I believe that if you're in the top 10% of your class you can be directly admitted to journalism even if your test scores are below the cutoff.</p>
<p>You can still apply. </p>
<p>If you don't meet the grade/test score cutoffs, you will be admitted as a pre-Journalism student. There is no difference between a Journalism Student or Pre-Journalism student, except that as Journalism Student, you will have advising in the Journalism School, while it will be in Arts and Sciences for pre-Journalism students. The advising will probably be crap regardless of where you get your advising, so this is no biggie.</p>
<p>What happens is after your first two years, if you completed all the requirements, you apply for sequence. What they do is take all the Journalism Students and Pre-Journalism students and lump them together. You're then ranked in order of GPA, and get to pick your sequence (Broadcast, convergence, print, magazine, etc.) in order of highest GPA to lowest.</p>
<p>Once a sequence fills up, that is it. If you didn't get a high enough GPA to get your pick, too bad. I believe as long as you have a 3.0 GPA, you are guaranteed to be admitted into the Journalism school (no one is fully admitted to the Journalism School until they finish all their general ed and introductory journalism courses). If you have a sub 3.0 GPA (and I believe 2.5), you can get the scraps of whatever is left over after writing an appeal letter...and that's only if there are spots remaining.</p>
<p>Thanks for all of the responses. I think I'm going to take my SATs again to try for the 1280. I have a 1210 now so hopefully i can increase by 70. </p>
<p>Do you know anyone who hasn't been accepted to their sequence? Does that happen often you think?</p>
<p>Just take the ACT. It's supposed to be easier. Missouri's midwest, so they prefer the ACT anyhow.</p>
<p>And it happens quite often to the stupid people. If you do good academically, you don't have to worry about missing out on your sequence. It' a bit of a competition, but that's life.</p>
