<p>Hi I"m currently a Newhouse student. Dean Branham stated the acceptance rate statistics earlier this year for the Class of 2014. Off the top of my head, she said the average unweighted GPA was 3.9 and average SAT score around 2000 (random: largest minority percentage so far of 15%?). I would say to improve your GPA and write a killer essay! The broadcast journalism major here in Newhouse is great and has the most challenging curriculum! Good luck!</p>
