<p>Hi everyone, </p>

<p>I'm kinda new at posting here, but I'm been looking at these boards for awhile.</p>

<p>I'm applying as a Journalism transfer to Northwestern (Medill) for fall 2011.</p>

<p>Transferring from the University of Missouri with a 3.7 GPA after one semester.
ACT: 27
HS GPA: 3.4
EC: Production assistant at the local NBC affiliate, appeared on air as a cut-ins anchor for the morning news, Magazine Club, floor government</p>

<p>HS EC: Captain of show choir, captain of color guard, 13 years of Girl Scouts (Bronze and Silver awards), choir, drama club
Work Experience (while in HS): Worked at independent tea shop, worked as skating carhop at Sonic, worked as Starbucks barista</p>

<p>I'm hoping that my high school academics won't hurt my chances too much. Also, I'm hoping that my work at NBC will help since it's an EC related to my major.</p>

<p>Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>Are you asking what your chances are? If so, you stand a decent chance. But obviously, all top schools are very difficult to get into.</p>

<p>Yes, I am asking for chances. Thanks for your input! :)</p>

<p>While admission office is going to focus on your college gpa, they are still going to look at your hs transcript.</p>

<p>I would consider studying and retaking the ACT. (northwestern allows for a retake)</p>
