medill is much more competitive, yes. NU will probably accept about 30% of applicants next year, i heard that this year medill accepted 200 applicants out of 1200 that applied.
Im in medill and i dont really plan to be a reporter when i graduate. Double majors are very common, even expected because 75% of your coruses are non-journalism.

Its very easy to transfer into WCAS from medill, but very hard to transfer from WCAS into medill.

Being editor of yearbook is a pretty good journalism EC, as long as its clear in your letters of rec and your essay that your school didnt have a newspaper. Also, see if you cant gain experience with a newspaper in some other capacity… for example, an internet thing or your town, or neighborhood’s small paper.
