Is anyone else here applying to Medill? Super nervous that I’ll be up against students w crazy journalism experience
Hi everyone! This is my first post on this thread; I just submitted my app about 5 minutes ago Does anyone know how long it typically takes to receive a portal login? Thanks, and good luck to everyone!!!
Does anyone know what are the chances of getting in after being deferred from Medill
I submitted my application on August 20 for School of Communication.
The deadline is at 11:59pm on 1/1 right?
Yes.
My school’s second trimester closes on March 9, and grades are usually ready about a week after that. Will Northwestern get them in time and if so, will they be taken into account (of course I will do my best regardless, but I would still like to know)? If not, I’m not sure what else I can give them, as I am a deferred applicant and they had my first trimester grades well before decisions were released. If nothing changes in my application, I doubt I have a great shot at getting in.
I forgot to put the word “to” in the last sentence of my essay… This does not look good as a communications major applicant. Hopefully they overlook it like I did 
So I just got my confirmation of application and signed in on the portal, but it says that they haven’t received my official ACT scores, which I sent yesterday at about noon. Does anybody else have this same problem? Thanks.
@OtterOverlord I believe you’re in the wrong thread.
From the official ACT website:
@blaze077 Ahhhh sorry. Thanks for the answer. Wasn’t sure if it was on the side of ACT or Northwestern
@OtterOverlord Ah, welp. It’s my bad. I had read somewhere that Northwestern didn’t have a student portal, so I thought you meant to post in another thread. Just received my portal link and realized I was wrong.
Does anyone know how pre-med education is at Northwestern? Is the pre-med advising group good?
Ugh I’m scared
applied a few weeks ago to northwestern; it’s my fave
So is Northwestern your guys top picks if you get in?? If so, why do you like it so much? Just trying to learn a little more about the school
YES! @OtterOverlord
Chicago is my city yo. Hometown.
guys so for school i had to write an essay about outside research and since i did my own research at one of northwestern’s summer programs I wrote an essay about it. Do you think I should email it to my rep who i’ve been in contact in or is that so annoying to them and wouldn’t do anything???
@Dankjewel Then why not UChicago? Not as good for your intended major?
I applied ED and got deferred! 
@OtterOverlord
NU is my second choice!
