<p>I’d be interested in each school’s policies on transferring into either their english program or J-school once you’re there. I’d wonder if I got to one school, and decided I wanted the other major, what are the possibilities I could transfer into it.</p>
<p>Also, if you do journalism, I’d make sure I understood what emphasis within the J-schools are available. My daughter would not consider NU because it didn’t offer the journalism emphasis she was interested in, and so she chose Syracuse instead. While Medill is highly respected, its curriculum is different than that of many J-schools. Make sure you’d be OK with its emphasis and approach, in case you decide (and can) transfer in if you go there and decide that’s what you want.</p>
