Medill for someone with little journalistic experience?

I would really, really love to study journalism at Northwestern but I hear that Medill is harder to get into than the liberal arts school since it’s one of the best journalism schools in the country. I just got interested in journalism second semester last year so I don’t have any real achievements in this area (besides writing twelve stories for the school newspaper so far that I’ve spent a lot of time on).

Would it be very hard for me to get into Medill, since I will probably be competing with people who have had more distinction, editors-in-chiefs, etc?
