<p>with a 24 on the ACT, I highly doubt Newhouse. Still a good shot for College of As and Ss.</p>

<p>You have a nice resume’ ( writing for NFA helps), and have a good GPA… The ACT score may be a bit of a problem in the regular decision pool…</p>

<p>it’s a good thing you have arts and sciences available as your second option, but don’t be too discouraged about your ACT score and newhouse. you’re a reach for newhouse and a match for arts and sciences.</p>

<p>although i’m not personally in newhouse, many of my friends who are didn’t have the most exceptional grades or ACT scores (some were far worse than yours). rather, they have extreme passion and are very talented in their respective majors.</p>

<p>make sure you write an exceptional essay and your passion really exudes throughout your application. you can do it.</p>

<p>I agree with viciousdirt, the ACT is low (for Newhouse). Send in some of your articles, that should help also.</p>

<p>During my admissions interview I gave my representative a few of my articles. I know the ACT is low but hopefully they look past it.</p>
