<p>That’s awesome! Congratulations! I am also planning to do the dual degree with Medill and Bienen. I was accepted into Medill, but I am a composer and the composition faculty would not allow me to do early decision, so I’m hoping to transfer in September. It was also the main factor that sealed my decision on Northwestern. =)</p>
