Does attending the Cherub Journalism at Northwestern help with admission?

My DD was accepted to the Medill/Cherub journalism institute this summer, which is online. She is passionate about journalism and Northwestern is her first choice. I have not seen any recent information about the program. I assume participating will help with demonstrated interest for her application essay next year.

Has anyone had recent experience to share and thoughts about how it impacts admission odds?

Did your daughter end up attending? I have the same question- whether it helps with admissions to NW. My son is interested in the debate Cherubs program.

She did not. But many of her summer classmates were accepted. It seems to help a bit.
