Interviews
We strongly recommend you schedule an interview before you submit your application. Although an interview is not required as part of the MSJ application, it’s a great way for us to get to know you and for you to learn more about Medill as you apply.
Campus visits
Visiting our Evanston or Chicago campus is one of the best ways to get a feel for our program and community.
Campus visits give you the opportunity to talk to an admissions director, sit in on a class, meet a faculty member and take a tour of our facilities. We strongly encourage you to visit campus to get a distinct feel for what your time at Medill would be like.
