<p>haha, yea same here</p>
<p>I havent heard much about the college of communication but maybe i over looked it. Anyone care to comment?</p>
<p>I am a junior in high school and I was just wondering if I would have a difficult time getting accepted to DePaul. At the moment I have a cumulative GPA of 2.8, but I’m trying to get that higher before the year is out. I also have taken the ACT and received a 24, but I am planning on retaking it seeing if I can get higher. </p>
<p>I participated in Football freshman year, Track junior and going to be senior year, and I will be on the school newspaper my senior year, starting as one of the editors. I have also been a dedicated member in our schools marching band for what is going to be 4 years.</p>
<p>I would like to major in Political Science.</p>
<p>Hi. I’m going to be a senior in high school next year. My dream is to become a costume designer, and I know that depaul’s theater school has a costume design major (which is not common at most schools). Does anyone know what Depaul’s costume design program is like? Will it prepare me for becoming a costume designer?</p>
<p>I’ve heard a lot of good things about depaul and after reading this thread im almost certain i will apply…
I am an international student, i have never studied or lived in the us and have not taken any AP or honor classes since that just doesnt exist in my school ( I dont have any college credits either)… ehm… most of my grades have always been between 90% and 100% since i can remember… i guess an average would be 93 or 94… .(what would that be in a 4 GPA scale?) and i took the SAT on june and got 1930… Maths 640, Writing 650 and well the other one 630… I have completed more than 80 hours of community service… how are my chances of getting in?
thanks for any information you can give me :D</p>
<p>Another thing… lol… i dont have any amazing extracurriculars since thats not really important in my country :S… I play tennis but not with the school…and I have been doing oleum paintings for a long time, which are very good 
(took lessons when i was younger) but I dont know if that counts</p>
<p>Should I go to DePaul (and pay $10,000 per year after financial aid) or go to Indiana University - Bloomington (and pay $27,000 per year after financial aid)? I am a Finance major.</p>
<p>Depaul, i think its a better school than IU, Chicago>>Bloomington, and their business school is good too. But if your more of the partying and school spirit types, IU is a dope school for that. But both schools are really good for business, so your not gonna lose. </p>
<p>If you dont mind, what were your stats to get in to both school, I’m probably gonna apply to both of them</p>
<p>Believe it or not, I don’t know if I want the typical/party college atomosphere/expierence (at IU) or the city life at DePaul. Both seem nice. I wasn’t too social in HS and that’s something I want to change in college.</p>
<p>I was admitted to DePaul with a 3.43 GPA and 23 ACT.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I was not admitted to Indiana until I raised my tests scores; I was admitted to Indiana with a 3.43 GPA and 1160 SAT (approx. 26 ACT) (up from 1070 SAT; approx. 23 ACT).</p>
<p>I personally love Chicago, and I feel that you can have a great time partying at Depaul too. If you want to become more social, I think Depaul is the clear choice. But if you wanna live away from the midwest, IU may have a better rep than Depaul, just being more recognizable. </p>
<p>If I were you, I would choose Depaul without thinking twice, it seems like a great experience.</p>
<p>And thanks for putting the stats, helps :)</p>
<p>“How are DePaul’s Psychology, Journalism, and Playwriting programs? Also, I was looking up DePaul on the CollegeBoard website, and under its majors it lists “Playwriting/Screenwriting”, and its definition is “Students of playwriting and screenwriting learn how to write plays for the theater and screenplays for movies. Classes cover such topics as creative writing, script development, stage or camera instructions, and the making of entire theatrical or film productions.” Is this just CollegeBoard’s description, or does DePaul’s program actually involve film/screenplays?”</p>
<p>Can someone please answer that^^ and this? Also, I really never chose to go out during HS, although I’ve had many opportunities-I was more focused on studying to get my transcript right, and save it all for college. Is it really HARD to find parties like you guys are making it seem @ DePaul???</p>
<p>bumpity-bump-bump.</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>I got so excited someone replied…but it’s just a bump bump bump. lol</p>
<p>Wish I could answer your question, mikeyshypnotic, but I don’t know.</p>
<p>I am considering going to DePaul, and I am curious to ask how easy it is to get academic scholarships there. I heard of a person with something like a 26 ACT and a 3.2-3.4 GPA getting something like $8,000 to go to school there (the DePaul Scholars Award). If I have a 31 ACT and 3.4-3.5 GPA (unweighted), do you think I might have a chance for the higher-up scholarship (the Dean’s Scholarship) which would get me “$10,000-11,000”?</p>
<p>I have taken 4 years of Spanish and self-studied 3 years of German in the past 1 year, placing me in German V. Additionally, I took a Russian class at a local private university this summer, and will continue to take two more semesters of it in my senior year. I am going to major in German and take coursework in Russian, Spanish, and Comparative Literature as well. I don’t know if that information is important, but maybe it would give me a leg up on the competition for a foreign language oriented scholarship.</p>
<p>It’s okay, but you could answer this: Is German hard? I was thinking about taking it for my Senior year, but I’m sort of being forced to take Spanish since it’s more “useful”/help me get a better job, etc. in the current world.</p>
<p>I enjoy German quite well. However, German is more difficult to learn than Spanish for most Anglophones. While it may seem as though English should bear a very close resemblance to German (through the Germanic family), English has developed strong resemblences to the Romance group of languages through its relatively recent interaction with French.</p>
<p>Perhaps the greatest barrier to aspiring German language learners is the case system. English has largely rid itself of the case system, but elements of it remain in a few of its pronouns:</p>
<p>English: He, Him, Him, His
German: Er, Ihn, Ihm, Sein</p>
<p>The issue of word order, particularly that of the word order employed with subordinating conjunctions (known as transposed word order), can also serve to confuse some.</p>
<p>With all that said, I think German is a great language. Also, it is my understanding that it is more useful than Spanish in many fields. For instance, I know that a very large number of scientific articles is published in German (and Russian, too).</p>
<p>I am not a man of science by any means, so its usefulness in that field is of little importance to me as a scholar. Personally, I chose to learn German and Russian for their rich literary tradition. German has fostered an esteemed intelectual tradition: a tradition which includes great writers such as (most notably) Goethe and Schiller among many, many others. The same can be said of Russian. Spanish is not as widely recognized for its literature, though it is still enjoyable. Right now I am actually reading the Spanish novel “El Arbol de la Ciencia” by Pio Baroja (interesting side-note: Pio Baroja was one of Ernest Hemmingway’s chief influences), and it is a wonderful work.</p>
<p>Yet, I must conclude that, between Spanish and German, I enjoy German more. Sure, the ability to communicate with native speakers in your own city is great, and if this be one of you main motives for language-learning, then you may want to consider Spanish. However, my chief goal in the study of language is the analysis of (and perhaps,someday, the writing of) great literature. One of my favorite poets is John Milton. He had knowledge of ten languages and wrote often in English, Latin, and Greek (I have also heard of Italian and Spanish compositions, but have never been able to locate these). I’m sure that Milton’s knowledge of language played a vital role in the success he enjoyed as a writer.</p>
<p>I guess that is my long way of advising you to choose a language based upon its qualities that you deem valuable. Learning any language requires countless hours of study: hours you will, in all likelihood, not put in if you do not wish to further your understanding of the tongue. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!</p>
<p>Great! I think you have a pretty solid chance of getting into DePaul! :)</p>
<p>Thank you. And best of luck to you in your language study, whichever one you choose!</p>
<p>stockholmjoy, i had a 3.75 gpa and a 24 act and only got $6,500 from depaul. if you’re a minority with the 3.2-3.4 and 26 act, then yeah you might get $8,000, but if you’re not, probably expect around what i got. also, they don’t have any foreign language scholarships.</p>
