Sending in the application for Early Decision this week!!

<p>@ cocoa</p>

<p>ME TOOOOO. I wanna be a music journalist so i hope I can get in on the indie credd.</p>

<p>though watch me totally blast Lil Wayne, Rise Against (CHI TOWN’S FINESTT) and Deadmau5 [points to screenname]</p>

<p>though the coolest things about NU to me are the journalism residency and NSTV. along with every other thing.</p>

<p>any other potential medillianz up in here?</p>

<p>what are the admit rates of the specific colleges? does anyone know?</p>

<p>^ i was just looking that up. They don’t release it for individual colleges, but I think theater only accepts 100 students (50F/50M).
WCAS is obviously the largest so there’s more variety there.
I hope that ED is more forgiving in certain respects (like ACT score)!</p>

<p>But this week will be wrought with mental self-inflicted torture! I’ve reread my application a gajillion times…!</p>

<p>Medill is usually around 10 to 15 percent, but the number of applicants applying has been steadily declining by a few points annually over the past few years.</p>

<p>@deadmau5</p>

<p>Medillians, rep. </p>

<p>Where are you from in Maryland?</p>

<p>I’m wondering if the drop in the number of medillians is because of the supposed decline and imminent death of print journalism. Anyone got a take on that?</p>

<p>I can forward you my Why NU? essay instead of responding to that question. lulz</p>

<p>And my boy jay-z trumps weezy ANY DAY!</p>

<p>@Cclolzftw: it wasn’t meant to hate on the journalist, it’s something I’ve been hearing. I really know nothing about journalism</p>

<p>I’m from New York :slight_smile:
I was gonna apply to the School of Communications, but then I heard that it was hard to get into so I ended up applying to WCAS as an English major (any other bookworms on the thread?) </p>

<p>cclolzftw- What do u have to do for the assignment?</p>

<p>@Glenny</p>

<p>I didn’t take it personally. I was just saying that my essay pretty much answers that question.</p>

<p>@melflax22</p>

<p>I just need to know about how you think social networking has transformed the college admissions process. Hit me up on PM when you have a chance.</p>

<p>And Jay-Z > Lil’ Wayne, but let’s ****ing focus on Chicago since this is the Northwestern forum. </p>

<p>LUPE FIASCO > KANYE WEST
Enemy of the State is easily the best mixtape of the year. Nuff said.</p>

<p>Ughhh 10-15%? That sucks so bad hahaha. I’m so nervous. Four days at the earliest, Nine days at the latest! We’re in the single digits, folks.</p>

<p>Lupe>>>>kanye & common combined!</p>

<p>Worddd. We are Lasers.</p>

<p>And No I.D. is worth mentioning.</p>

<p>Anyone know the admit rate for WCAS? I don’t think I’ll be able to concentrate at all this week. I’m going to be slightly depressed if I don’t get in - which is a pretty big chance…my ACT score is pretty bad…am I the only one here from the west coast??</p>

<p>I’m from Missouri. Applied to Communications - I didn’t hear much about my particular major (RTVF) being especially hard to get into versus all of the others. I would imagine the Communications department has a lowered acceptance rate due to their extremely limiting theatre major.</p>

<p>@ cclolzftw- i’m from good ol’ baltimore county. i serve as the county rep on the school board there HOLLA</p>

<p>if we’re gonna talk bout chicago bands i’m just gonna put it out there that I love me some Smashing Pumpkins. Along with Kanye (I excuse him for the Taylor Swift incident). but whateva</p>

<p>and i didn’t hear that Medill had that low an admit rate but i could be wrong. I was told on a chance forum that a 600 in math dooms me, but hopefully not. I hope medill’s looking for credentials and stuff contributed in the field, rather than one part of one standardized test that was otherwise fine.</p>

<p>furthemore, I love Lady Gaga and she is making the college applications process so much better.</p>

<p>I’m from Illinois too! ( Which probably isn’t going to work to my advantage because there are so many applicants form Illinois :[[ ). What part are you from? Southside of Chitown right here.</p>

<p>I’ll admit I’ve been creeping on this thread too to see if anyone found out yet, even thought I know it prob won’t come out till the end of the week, if that. </p>

<p>I’ve been checking my email on my phone all the time @ school this past week to wait for the email. I am going to have a hard time sitting still in school and sleeping at night.</p>

<p>This basically defines how the rest of my school year is going to go.</p>

<p>Also, I just saw your post deadmau5…
KANYE WEST CAME TO MY HIGH SCHOOL 2 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS AMAZING!!
He is actually really good live.</p>

<p>I’m actually originally from new York, but moved to the Chicago 'burbs a couple months ago.
This decision can mean a hellish wait till April or a joyous laid back rest of the year.</p>

<p>I’m from Ohio and planning to major in physics(does that help?)</p>

<p>This is about to be the longest week ever, I can’t stop thing about getting in or getting rejected! Do I wear my Northwestern shirt this week? Will that jinx it? or will this be my last chance to wear it before getting rejected :frowning: Maybe at night? </p>

<p>Anyways… does anyone have any inkling of what time a decision could be posted? I can’t keep freaking out at every e-mail.</p>
