<p>I want to apply to Northwestern, especially Medill. My question is if I apply to Medill, and get rejected, am I considered for WCAS? Also, is it possible to apply without SAT IIs?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>From what I understand, you apply directly to only one school and are considered for admission to that school only. So, being rejected from Medill would mean you are rejected from Northwestern as a whole. During numerous info sessions, it was stated that difficulty of acceptance doesn’t vary too much between the schools.</p>
<p>And SAT 2’s aren’t required, though many students choose to send them in. You wouldn’t necessarily be at a disadvantage if you didn’t send any, but beefing up your resume with some more strong, standardized test scores couldn’t hurt.</p>
<p>You apply to either Medill, WCAS or one of the other undergrad schools. If you’re rejected from that school, you’re done.</p>
<p>My son got into McCormick ED with no SAT IIs. The AdCom he spoke to said that SAT IIs are for those who want to show better in an area - maybe screwed up a grade, or a test. Since son had 4.0 GPA and all 5s in AP he said thanks, and didn’t take the SAT subject tests. I guess that when they say optional - they mean it! Good luck to you.</p>
