<p>When I visited, they said the avg. GPA for Newhouse admits was 3.8 and for SAT, 1250. Your GPA is a little low, but if you're taking a lot of AP/GT classes, I don't see that hurting you, especially since your SATs are amazing by Syracuse standards. Send your SAT IIs for sure; those are great scores.</p>

<p>Your other qualifications should make up for your lowish GPA (a 3.53 at a tough school is quite decent). did you apply ED? The ED pool is usually weaker than the RD pool at newhouse.</p>
