<p>So I'm basically an SAT cretin (1750 comp.), yet I do well in school-->3.75 GPA
(3/5 to 4/5 of my classes are and have been honors or AP level). And my school doesn't rank.</p>

<p>I'm heavily involved in about three extra-curriculars and put in significant hours into all of them, being Varsity Cross Country, the school paper (editor and writer), Varsity Basketball (all 4 years). I secured a highly competitive internship this summer--working as an intern and columnist for my area's major newspaper. </p>

<p>My essay is "beautiful" according to my English teacher, who happens to be the head of the English Department at my school. My teacher recs are good. I also have another rec. from a national sports writer.</p>

<p>There's more to my application, but these are the main pieces to it. </p>

<p>Chances, anyone?</p>

<p>Which school at SU? ED or RD? and did you have an interview yet? where?</p>

<p>applying to RD to the College of Arts and Sciencies, Newhouse may be too competitive. And I haven’t had an interview. Should I schedule one? Although it may be too late.</p>

<p>You should be fine for A&S…and yes, it may be too late for an interview…alot of students do really well in A&S freshman year and then transfer into Newhouse…you could do that if interested…I’m assuming your 3.75 is weighted? if unweighted, you are a lock…IMO…</p>

<p>It’s not too late for an interview-- I called today and got one for friday.</p>
