daughter regretting her choice due to so few Medill slots. or if rejected by Medill do kids get put in the Weinberg pool anyways?
Is it too late? Probably yes, but your daughter should call. It is my understanding that students are evaluated only for the school to which they applied. They would not move her app to another school. Students who apply for dual degrees receive 2 decisions and may be accepted to both, one or neither.
Your D should call admissions and ask. Nobody here can answer this with any certainty.
To clarify my fourth sentence, they will not move your daughter’s app to Weinberg if she is rejected from Medill.
Weinberg has many more slots but many more applicants as well. Not sure if it would help anyway.
