<p>To all who got into Medill, please post your stats...</p>
<p>I didn't expect to get in at all. My stats are quite sad compared to other acceptances I'm sure:</p>
<p>1400 SAT
0 SAT II's
Didn't take the ACT
0 AP Credits</p>
<p>Unweighted 3.5 GPA
Arguably, one of the best schools in the state - IMSA</p>
<p>I think my essay was good though, I took a risk and went a little overboard. I also submitted a portfolio and met Dean Ghiglione when he came to my school to speak.</p>
