For those who are wondering if school of communication is harder or easier to get in…

Applications last year were at historic highs, and fewer than 25% of applicants were admitted, making us once again one of the most selective of Northwestern’s undergraduate schools. Our “yield,” the percentage of admitted students who choose to enroll, was once again a very high 58%. The average SAT verbal plus math score of the entering class went up 13 points over the previous year, to 1383.



Communication vs University stats (class of 2009):

Admit Rate: <25% vs 29.7%
Yield: 58% vs 40.5%
Average SAT: 1383 vs 1402
