<p>I don't think this thread exists yet, so here we go. I'll get things started:</p>
<p>I'm from India, lived in Singapore practically my whole life. I have academic interests in economics, political science, creative writing, sociology, math and history.</p>
<p>I’m from Indi(an)a. My hobbies include maliciously editing Wikipedia entries, using Skype as a universal prank-call device and lying to the next class about what was on the test. Wurd.</p>
<p>From Canada. I like chemistry, learning things by myself indepedently (which has included in the past quantum mechanics, philosophy and mathematics). I like gaming, and a FPS junkie, who has sparred with words with my chem teacher about FPS games vs RPG games. I’m also a history buff, and an avid reader.</p>
<p>@cclolzftw: out of curiosity, what do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>Journalism. I was deferred from Early Decision.</p>
<p>i wish you better luck this time, then.</p>
<p>I’m from Illinois, where everyone & their mothers apply to Northwestern. I have a crazy passion for broadcast journalism, and my hobbies include theatre, music, martial arts and every extracurric under the [hidden] Illinois sun. Also deferred from ED. :(</p>

<p>I’m from Massachusetts, I applied to NU for Medill, but I’m thinking now that I probably should’ve applied for the School of Communications. I want to work on a magazine, but not as a writer. Regardless, NU is my top choice and I absolutely love it there.</p>
<p>I’m from Illinois. I’m passionate about psychology. I originally was going to apply ED but chose not to in the last minute because my parents were hesitant about finances. now i really regret listening to them because i think i would have had a solid chance for ED 
Oh well, I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for RD.
are any of you interviewing?</p>
<p>I’m from New York, just finished my RD application to Medill 
Print journalism! Hopefully I have a shot, it seems awesome and I love writing. Other hobbies are art, reading, and consuming large amounts of coffee, tea and junk food.</p>
<p>I’m with you on the coffee bit. One of those cool economists who go around doing fun but useless studies should write a paper on what higher education would be like if coffee didn’t exist.</p>
<p>I’m from Indiana.
Interested in foreign languages, communications, and international studies.
I’d like to go to NYC for college, so I’m still deciding whether or not to apply to NU.</p>
<p>^^ Given your interest in international studies and communications, what is the appeal of NYC. Is there a particular school you’re interested in?</p>
<p>From NJ</p>
<p>Interested in the sciences (not totally sure whether I want to do applied science or research though). </p>
<p>Hobbies: piano, and apparently writing college essays since that’s most of what I do these days.</p>

<p>I personally think NYC would be on the best places a communications major/international studies major could study. I mean NYC has everythingggg, and it’s a major hub for the media (thus more opportunities for internships and networking). I applied to 5 schools in NYC: Hunter college, NYU, Fordham, The New School, and Pace University.</p>
<p>Basically, NYC, LA, Chicago, and to a lesser extent, Atlanta, are the best places for mass media.</p>
<p>From New York, applying to Weinberg RD.
Economics major/French minor.</p>
<p>from socal, applying as a radio/tv/film major in the school of communications. i want to be a screenwriter/television show runner/director. :)</p>
