Hey! I didn’t see a thread for the 2024 Medill Cherubs. I am waiting to hear back! Anyone else?

2

My daughter is waiting. Any idea if decisions are coming via snail mail? We also have no sense how competitive this program is

3

I think they are coming in the mail. It is a very competitive program… approximately 84/250+ applicants are admitted.

4

FYI our letter appears to be in today’s mail, per informed delivery.

5

Wait letters are already out??

6

My daughter received her letter today, and was accepted. However we are local so our mail may have been faster!

Congrats to your daughter!! Don’t live near IL nor am I in town so I’ll have to find out later…

Do you mind sharing stats/what ecs she put down? Much appreciated!

Congrats! My letter is arriving later today! I am not so hopeful, but I guess I’ll see! What were your daughters stats?
