<p>I was wondering how competitive NYU is for journalism. What are the typical statistics of a CAS journalism admitted applicant? Also, does NYU need to see any published works (e.g., school newspaper) from journalism applicants?</p>
<p>I can't speak from experience-- just observation and research. It seems as though journalism is a popular major, but, not exactly competitive. It may or may not have an impact on your acceptance/rejection. But, generally, the CAS applicant pool "competes" all the same.</p>
<p>Samples of published work would be considered unnecessary supplements, as NYU does not ask for those. It is best to follow the directions set forth. They receive 30,000+ applications and know what they want.</p>
<p>Check out the journalism website branch of nyu.edu<br>
It shows how admission into the journalism major does not differentiate from admission into NYU.</p>
<p>I realize I didn't answer your statistics question. Like I said, the CAS applicant pool more or less is the journalism applicant pool, so as a rule of thumb, at least 650 (more towards 700) on each section of the SAT and an average GPA of 3.63 is the trend for accepted students. Demonstrated interest and potential in the field of journalism is what would set you apart, I suppose.</p>
<p>Lastly, remember that numbers are not everything (ie: a low SAT math score may be overshadowed by a brilliant essay, especially for a j-major)</p>
<p>Hope I helped.</p>
<p>I'm so scared.</p>
<p>I'm never getting in.</p>
