<p>I would really love to graduate with a Journalism degree from a relatively prestigious university as writing has become my passion in recent years. Let me give you some background as to who I am as a student (I'm a rising senior):</p>
<ul>
<li>3.89 GPA, 30 on ACT</li>
<li>5s on AP US Exam, AP Comparative Government, AP English</li>
<li>I have taken 7 years of language in high school (Latin & Homeric Greek)</li>
<li>3 Years of Model UN</li>
<li>3 Years of Orchestra</li>
<li>3 Years of Classics Club</li>
<li>News Editor on School Newspaper</li>
</ul>
<p>Obviously, I'm on the fringe of getting into really good schools. What makes me especially different, though, is my work experience. From July 2010-2011, I wrote 300 articles for TechnoBuffalo.com (they aren't the worst pieces of writing either). I'm starting a job at IntoMobile.com soon, I have started my own website with about 20 classmates, and have special experience developing iOS applications for NYSE-traded companies (not that programming is particularly relevant in this context).</p>
<p>I believe that it is evident that I need to play up my work experience, but I was wondering what would be the best way to do this. The Common App gives you the opportunity to attach extra documents that one deems relevant. I don't believe that it would be effective for me to upload an attachment with 350+ links to pieces that I have written. Most of the schools I'm looking at do not have any easy way to submit a portfolio of material (e.g. Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern). Should I pick three of my best pieces and attach them or do nothing at all and just rely on the fact that the Common App lists my work experience?</p>
<p>More broadly, I was wondering what you would think of me as a candidate for admission into a journalism school?</p>
