Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I applied ED to the Medill School of Journalism and Northwestern University, I'm thinking it might be a long shot as the journalism school is very selective, but let me know what you think.</p>

<p>-SAT 2150 (750 CR, 730 W, 690 M)
-top 8% of the class (21 out of about 250)
-i submitted a strong journalism portfolio of my articles and a short art portfolio (about 3 pieces)
-GPA 3.58 (i know its a little low)
-editor in chief of school newspaper
-lots of community service at my church as a peer minister and i got a letter of recommendation from the head of the program
-played D1 field hockey for 4 years
-freshman class president, national honor society member,literary magazine club member for 3 years, a bunch more clubs</p>

<p>basically i'm just wondering if my rank, GPA and SAT scores are okay..</p>

<p>your SAT score is fine, but your gpa will undoubtedly hinder you. you are still in the top 10%, which definitely helps you though.</p>

<p>Good ec’s, decent-low chance (~<40% chance)</p>

<p>thanks, i think my article samples are pretty strong as well as my reccomendations and ECs…but does anyone know if my GPA would be a deal breaker or if Northwestern has a strict minimal GPA requirement?</p>

<p>I would be optimistic if I were you. ED is a pretty big help. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>I think that your portfolio and the general quality of your writing will determine your admission. If you think your writing is sufficiently qualified, you’re probably good.</p>
