Hi I’m a senior graduating a semester early (January 2016). Would like to know my chances at Columbia J School:
GPA: 3.77
Majors: Broadcast Journalism, Politics
Minor: Chinese
Work Experience: internships at the network and local TV levels (ABC, MSNBC, VICE, NY1)every semester of my undergrad career (including Summer)
Sophomore year worked at NYU’s student run radio station (WNYU 89.1 FM) and newspaper (Washington Square News)
Planning to work at NY1 as freelance video editor and possibly news assistant after graduation
Little EC - trying to improve that with a homeless org that I joined
Skill set in editing video on non linear platforms, shooting video on Sony XD Cams and Panasonic, news writing, stand ups, news judgment.
I am Chinese American with 2 semesters study abroad in Shanghai.
Main thing that I’m anxious for is the writing test, which I’m worried will ruin my chances of getting into the MS program. Anyone care to share advice or info?
