<p>I'm beginning to have trouble deciding which SU school to apply to. For a while I was set on Newhouse as an Advertising major but this semester I'm taking both a general communications course as well as a general marketing course, and I much prefer marketing, which makes me lean towards applying to Whitman as a Marketing Management major. I am definitely not opposed to applying to whitman, I'm just confused about what I should do. </p>
<p>(Note: ultimate career goals would be to work somewhere in advertising/marketing in either the fashion industry or in the entertainment industry/Hollywood.</p>
<p>Top 10% of class, 1930 SAT, taking ACT this Saturday, UW GPA: 3.95)</p>
<p>You could apply to both Whitman and Newhouse as a dual major. It is a 151 credit program, but with AP/IB/CLEP credits is doable in 4 years.
DD is a dual major and really enjoying her time at Syracuse.
Good luck with your decision.</p>
<p>You can apply to more than one school for syracuse on common app and you can apply to both as a dual major. You could get into both and pick one or get into one or none. My admissions officer told me there is no penalty to apply to both. He said your chances of getting in actually increase for the more schools you apply to so apply to both nothing bad will come out of it, like i said no penalty. </p>
<p>The biggest drawback is that it’s 151 credits so yes overall it’s more classes. That means to graduate in four years you’ll need to get credit for some high school AP classes and perhaps some summer school or else plan on taking 5 years to graduate. If you can handle a full load of 18 credits/term that helps a lot but won’t be necessary in all cases. My son’s in the dual program and loves it. He will need about 3 summers of taking a couple transferable lower level courses at the local community college to do it in four years. He took care of his first summer of CC courses before his freshman year.</p>
<p>You can always apply to both and then drop one of the majors if you got into both and realized you only want one or the other.</p>
