I believe you will be fine, I don’t know what your stats are, but the majority of people on CC are really great academically and show lots of interest to the school. I got into UVM as well with a Presidential Scholarship.

Congrats!!! I have a 97.81/100 uw gpa and a 99.3 for senior year. I’ve taken Two AP classes and three duel enrollment. I also have an A in syracuse biology. I’m ranked 2/131 in my grade and I’m graduating a year early. I’m more worried about extracurriculars so I’m nervous.

Newhouse (the school I applied to) is considered the Number 1 Communication school in the country along with UPenn. So with that, there acceptance rate is roughly 11-15%, maybe even less this year with more applicants. Maxwell and CAS are closer to 45-50% acceptance rate.
You’re 100 % fine then, those are amazing Stats.

As I stated above, Newhouse is the best Communication program in the country. Its acceptance rate is super high and is sadly harder to get into then those other schools.
I think you meant super low!!
