<p>What are my chances of getting into either Newhouse or Whitman at Syracuse?</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance of getting into all 3 schools considering your course load and ECs are very strong. However, you SAT and ACT scores are a little bit weak so I would try to improve at least one of those; if you can do that, you’ll probably be almost guaranteed admission.</p>

<p>Hey I want to get into Cuse too, ill keep in touch with your post, and maybe you with mine</p>

<p>Thanks, y’all! I’m retaking the SAT in October, so I’ll probably wait and submit those scores. I don’t think I’m going to retake the ACT, though. I just wasn’t comfortable with the test and I feel more confident about the SAT.</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Hey ALOT of people get nominated for National Student Leadership Conference,People to People, and National Society of High School Scholars,(including me for all 3), so I dont think those really count</p>

<p>Alright… I went on MyChances and searched for all of the schools I’m currently looking at and they came up as follows:</p>

<p>Vanderbilt- 1.3% chance (reach)
Syracuse- 95.9% chance (safety)
University of Arkansas- 98.6% chance (safety)
University of Alabama- 98.6% chance (safety)
University of Georgia- 14.4% chance (reach)
University of Missouri- 98.6% chance (safety)
University of Texas- 46.1% chance (match/slight reach)
Texas A&M University- 45.0% chance (match/slight reach)
Texas Christian University- 91.8% chance (safety)
Southern Methodist University- 96.8% chance (safety)
Baylor University- 100% chance (safety)</p>

<p>Does this sound right to you all? A few of them sound off to me.</p>

<p>Bump?!

<p>Bump again. Haha!
I would really like a few more opinions.</p>

<p>And again… bump!</p>

<p>Remember that Newhouse is more selective then the main college at Syracuse, but probably less so than it’s honors program. A 1770/25 would almost certain get you into the university with that class rank (as your percentage shows) but for Newhouse its a little low. Of course, your success with journalism should hugely outweigh that. SU is a great school if you don’t mind the bizzare architecture (the buildings are often built in very different styles and don’t seem to go together) and of course the weather.</p>

<p>Bump and thanks… again.
