<p>HeyIveGotWorkToDo , so are you gonna apply to law school after college or try to get a job at newspaper?</p>
<p>Granted that's still a long ways off, but realistically I'd probably have to work before going to law school, if that's what I actually end up doing. Ideally, I'd go straight to law school.</p>
<p>i realize this is almost 3 years old, but i just found it on a search and its bothering me.
I really don't think that yearbook is an "ok" extracurricular, "if your school doesn't have newspaper." i can only speak from my experience, but at my school, yearbook is a much more intensive program than newspaper. The newspaper is poor quality, plain and simple. But our yearbook wins awards. There is nothing "ok" about producing a 432 page publication that will be distributed to thousands of students, has a budget of over $100,000, and will serve as a PERMANENT (rather than monthly) piece of history in the hands of both students and the school.</p>
<p>Geez, this post IS old. </p>
<p>Anyway, to go to graduate school at Medill, does it help any to also do undergrad at Medill, or is it just as easy/difficult to complete your undergraduate studies at WCAS and then move on to Medill from there?</p>
<p>Going to Medill undergrad, and then going to Medill for grad would be superfluous by most accounts. Many would say you don't even need the grad school after UG at Medill, but if you were set on that I'd say the conventional wisdom would be to apply somewhere like Columbia to get diversity of perspective.</p>
<p>Graduate journalism schools do not require undergraduate journalism degrees for a reason -- you learn the basics of journalism once you arrive. So, as abiter says, it would be superfluous... but, for the most part, the industry looks for a graduate degree, which makes an UG degree less desirable.</p>
