Hi, I’m an intl student from Hong Kong, China (am also applying need-based rip) looking to ED Journalism, I have only made this decision recently and I do not have journalism geared ECs and such (I’ve written for school newspaper two years, interned a month at local media group and led MUN but that’s it). How competitive is Medill for intl students, do I have a chance?
I was actually interested in journalism a long time ago but never considered I could have the chance to study it until now (the political climate, government scholarship and stuff), will mentioning this help me in my app or would it just make it seem like an excuse and make me sound indecisive?
Also, does anyone have any info/stats on intl students studying at Medill or any other info that would help? Thank you very much!
