<p>Ahh…you are so sweet! I have no idea how my school’s grading system compares with others, but kids in my school are insanely competitive - there are so many 96 averages and 2300’s, it makes my head spin. And thanks about the EC comment, that really made my day (I was scared I’d have to start a charity or write a novel to keep up with some of the people here)</p>
<p>I never thought of that combination before for early applications, thanks for suggesting it! While I am pretty serious about journalism, I’ve read that sometimes people opt to major in something that relates to journalism (Political Science, some type of Sociology, Economics) and write for really good school papers…hence choices like Yale, Duke, Cornell, UChicago and NYU, which have great A/S programs and reputable newspapers. The LAC’s are kind of just thrown in because I visited them and liked their community nature.</p>
<p>Haha as I’m reading the NU threads, I’m becoming more and more convinced though…mainly because I can have the journalism AND the arts and science AND the music and be a happy camper.</p>
<p>What school are you in? How do you like it? :)</p>
