if you look at the average SAT for medill, its not any higher than the college of arts and sciences, so dont worry there… the people who get into medill are the ones who’ve shown a lot of experience and interest in journalism (through HS newspapers, jobs, etc.).
If jennys not gonna answer about her ECs, I will (im an entering medill frosh too)
I worked 4 years at HS paper, including 2 as ed-in-chief
2 years writing for an online video game magazine
3 years as P.A. announcer for all my high schools basketball and volleyball games
Essay was about a huge investigative story i did for my HS paper.

with that said, my gpa and SAT weren’t shabby either, but i dont think they mattered nearly as much as my ECs.
