<p>I am currently a high school junior, and I have wanted to go to Newhouse for as long as I can remember. My grades are okay, and to get into the college of arts and sciences at Syracuse shouldn't be a problem for me, but Newhouse is ultimately my dream. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are looking for in an applicant, and what I could do to make my transcript stand out more [and hopefully get into Newhouse :].</p>
<p>-Exceptional & perhaps creative writing through your essays (English grades & SAT CR & W are going to speak volumes as well)</p>
<p>-A passion for public communications through extra-curricular activities</p>
<p>-Leadership</p>
<p>Those are the three in which will make a good stand for Newhouse. Of course, an overall excellent GPA & SAT score would be needed to get in but you must work on the aforementioned criteria in order to be solid.</p>
