I got into Medill with weaker math and science test scores and grades (some B’s in AP classes, 27 Science on ACT, etc.), but a lot of strong scores in English-related stuff and leadership experience in journalism. I have a feeling that they’re mainly looking for people who have potential as journalists - and that’s not necessarily reflected in your math score on the SAT.

That said, you should be well-rounded, of course. But don’t worry if your math/science abilities aren’t up to par with your writing and reading skills.
