<p>Catherine, you must be SO excited!!! Medill is incredible and so hard to get into! Congratulations!! As far as dual degrees with Medill, I’m not sure, but my son is double majoring in Theatre (MT) and Cognitive Science, and in his case it’s not a dual degree, but a double major. His degree will be in Theatre, with a secondary major of Cog Sci.</p>
<p>There are endless performance opportunities – roughly 13 per quarter – and anyone can try out for most of them. Arts Alliance and JTE are the two biggest student theatre groups on campus, and put on very high quality productions. </p>
<p>Good luck – you can’t lose no matter what you decide to do. Theatre is such a passion, you probably feel drawn in that direction even with the Medill acceptance. Just remember that having A degree is what’s important – it doesn’t have to be a Theatre degree for you to ultimately go into theatre as a profession, if that’s what you decide later on.</p>
