<p>Thanks for any help that you might be able to give! ^_^</p>

<p>You look pretty good, though last year’s average stats for Newhouse were SAT 2000 GPA 3.8. Your EC’s are very good though. Have you visited? Syracuse is big on showing interest so the more you “touch” them, visit, email, twitter, facebook, etc the more interest you show. My DD has been to visit 3 times and has interviewed twice, once at admissions and once at Newhouse.</p>

<p>I seem slightly low then. How do I look good then? I’m just wondering.
I have an interview set up, which will happen in about 3 weeks. I’m a fan on FB, and i’ll follow their twitter, if you think it will help (although i’m not big on using that form of social media). I can’t visit because I live far away.</p>

<p>If I may ask, where did you find the stats of newhouse students? I have never been able to find it.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>bumpppp :)</p>

<p>wanna be too</p>

<p>I’m a current student at Newhouse. And I’m a freshman, and if the average SAT stat was 2000 then I have no idea how I received admission because I had an 1860.</p>

<p>I also never interviewed or emailed. </p>

<p>You’re 100% going to get into Syracuse. You’re not a lock for Newhouse, but I’d say you have a shot, and probably guaranteed at least a wait-list.</p>

<p>Okay.</p>

<p>Thank you for chancing me! :)</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>Update: I also did an Interview. I think that I did well enough.</p>
