<p>Because you and I have somewhat similar stats, and I was accepted, it's likely that you'll receive an acceptance. However, I hope you've visited Ithaca and have a general idea of its atmosphere, etc. If you definitely know this is the school for you, apply early decision and rely on your guts. Otherwise, make sure you have other choices. For example, Emerson College in Boston, MA, is a great school for communications (I was also accepted there). After reviewing all of the factors I found important to me, I decided to attend the New School University in NYC, so you never know. It may still be early for you to make a positive, affirmative decision. You should consider various schools. Don't limit your possibilities. Good luck! Hope that helps.</p>
