<p>Hello!</p>

<p>Newhouse is my absolute dream school, and it has been for years now. I will be graduating in 2015 (next year), and I will be sending 'cuse my application this fall. I was wondering if it sounds like I have a decent chance of being accepted, knowing that it is an extremely competitive school. I plan on majoring in broadcasting.</p>

<p>I have a 3.8 GPA
1780 SAT
I am the broadcaster for my schools television show
I currently have an internship at my countys television station
I have an award for the most outstanding television production student at my school
I will have taken a total of 6 AP classes by the time I graduate and I have taken almost all honors classes
I have had a job at Wegmans (a well known grocery store) for 2 years
I have 250+ volunteer hours
I have played Field Hockey for all 4 years and will be a captain next year
I have participated in many other EC's including theatre, boys sports management, class council, fundraisers, and SGA</p>

<p>I am hoping i have some sort of a chance!
Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>Newhouse has the selectivity of the Ivy League. You have to bring your SAT up for serious consideration. Break at least the 1900 threshold and then you can have a better shot.</p>

Let’s not go crazy, it’s still Syracuse.
My son got into Newhouse ED with a 3.4 and a 2250.
No top 25 school would have let him near the front door with a GPA like that.</p>

<p>Yeah @AnnieBeats considering New House to have Ivy selectivity is a far stretch it’s closer to Boston Univeristy, GW schools caliber. And to address your chances of getting into New House they’re pretty good as you have a great GPA. Bring up your SAT to at least a 1900 and you’re golden. Consider taking the ACT in September if the SAT doesn’t work out for you. </p>

<p>@roise96 @soze Yeah, it’s Syracuse, but Newhouse College accepts less than 10% of it’s applicants. It’s the most selective communications school in the country.</p>

<p>Percentages can be misleading. Northwestern for example gets a much, much higher quality applicant pool than Syracuse, so while they might have a higher percentage of admits, it’s much harder to get into Northwestern.</p>
