<p>Your chances are pretty iffy at both schools. Even if we take out your poor freshman GPA and say you have a 3.8, you will have only an 1830 SAT, the IRQ from last year was 2010-2270 for Northwestern, well above your scores. You can bet it’s similar for OOS UNC admits. Your subject tests are also really poor compared to what NU students usually have, which is 730+. Additionally, your ECs are not spectacular and I believe Medill usually wants to see quite a bit of interest in journalism from applicants. Besides your school newspaper, you don’t have anything there. I’m sorry but you’re reaching for Northwestern and will likely be rejected. Same with UNC-CH. Your stats may barely get you into UVA as an IS student from an underrepresented region in the state, basically anywhere but NoVa. I’m pretty sure you already do but just in case you don’t make sure you get a few safeties.</p>
