Chester Resident Graduates Boston University With Experience, High Grades

Megan Ilnitzki is so ready for the real world, she graduated college early.

The Chester Township resident just brought home a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a minor in journalism from Boston University, less than four years after graduating Mendham High School with an IB certificate in 2010.

On top of that, Ilnitzki graduated magna cum laude, obtaining a 3.78 grade point average.

While she may have received her coursework in Boston, Ilnitzki graduates with even more real-world experience. During her college career, she interned at Harper Collins Publishers, Acanthus Publishing, Pickering, Skyhorse Publishing and, while studying abroad in London, Chatto.

She also served as the editor of the school newspaper, overseeing seven staff members for a semester, at The Core Journal.
