<p>How is SU's Sports Management major? Also extremely intrested in the great Newhouse school. </p>

<p>My GPA is mainly low because of a poor freshman year, with A GPA of about 2.8. Since then I have gone straight up.</p>

<p>I'm about a year and a half away from college apps, but my stats then should be something like this:</p>

<p>3.2 UW GPA,
classes:
AP Psych(junior year)
AP Gov(Senior year)
AP English (senior year)
Honors American Lit (sophomore year)
Honors Modern Fiction (Junior Year)
Honors US History II (Junior Year)
Honors Management-business ed. (Junior year)</p>

<p>Sats should be about 2100 total.</p>

<p>EC's:
Summer Camp Counselor for 3 Years
Volunteer at Local Library
Assistant Job at Local Real Estate agency
DECA Junior and Senior Years
HS Rec basketball freshman-senior year</p>

<p>Reccomendations should be good from Guidance Counselor, along with Favorite English and Favorite Math teacher.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot?
I would likely be applying EA.</p>

<p>Newhouse seems like a bit of a reach. I’m not all that familiar with their Sports Management program. In order to get into Newhouse, you’re really going to need to get your gpa up and truly show Syracuse an upward curve in the strength of your academics. If you get a 2100 on your sats you’d pretty much be set in that department. You should also improve your EC’s somehow; they’re lacking a bit. Just make sure you get great recommendations and write a non-generic college essay.</p>

<p>I got in this year with a 3.85 weighted gpa and a 2140 sat. Message me if you have any questions.</p>
