What are my chances of getting into Medill? I don’t want to apply ED, but I might if I won’t get in otherwise.
I have a lot of other information, but this is the most basic info on me.
The fact that you are asking tonight suggests that you probably aren’t ready to make the commitment to a binding contract. You have a good chance of getting in ED, but perhaps your application may be stronger come RD. If Medill is your #1 choice, go for it. If not, don’t.
@jarrett211 Yeah… It’s between Northwestern and another school. I’m a very indecisive person and thought this might help me decide haha. I most likely will not ED at this point. We’ll see. Thank you so much for replying though!
Great stats! My only question would be why no APs before senior yr? If your high school didn’t offer them, then you look great. If they offered and you did not take them, could be an issue for NW. And even though you have them now, you don’t have AP science or math (AP stats not seen as rigorous as other AP math)
Did you skip geometry?
@wisteria100 APs are usually offered junior year, but I chose to only take 1 (I was in a special english/history program that didn’t allow me to take APs - the only ones I could’ve taken were AP physics or math which aren’t my strongest areas). I skipped geometry because I took it in middle school.
Do you think the lack of AP science or math hurts me? I am definitely not majoring in those areas, so I decided to focus on the humanities (I took AP Art history junior year)
NU is a great place. Your stats are competitive but it will be a bit of a reach.It is such a competitive school but ED does help.
