<p>Intended Major: Journalism</p>

<p>Newhouse is the hardest communication school in the country, why not just apply to more schools regular decision?</p>

<p>although you have a great case for acceptance, I have a feeling that you may be deferred due to your SAT/ACT scores…have you thought about going to SU and startng in A&S and then transferring into Newhouse?</p>

<p>and did you put a second choice for ED?</p>

<p>I did put a second and third choice major down for SU. It is my top choice and I am really considering starting in A&S and transferring into Newhouse at the end of my freshamn year. Thanks for the input! I’ll let you know what happens by December 15th!</p>

<p>I also interviewed at SU and it went rather well…</p>

<p>I was accepted to newhouse!</p>

<p>congrats btw! me too</p>

<p>congrats!!! see you in the fall!!!</p>
