<p>What do you guys think is the make or break for the kids with lower stats?</p>
<p>Essays
ECs
Interview</p>
<p>honestly, my stats weren’t amazing. I’m so sure the interview played a large part in my acceptance and my essays.
My extra curricula’s and leadership positions were good though.</p>
<p>I got accepted to Whitman yesterday! and congratulations to everyone else who was accepted!</p>
<p>Unweighted my gpa is a 3.0 but my weighted is lower? Congratulations on your acceptance to Whittman!</p>
<p>@dreamingofcuse96 Thank you! which college in Syracuse did you apply to?</p>
<p>@cusewarsaw17 what did you talk about in your interview/how long was it?</p>
<p>@winterfell123 We talked about school, whether i fit in, what its like, why i like syracuse, dreams, family etc and it lasted like 45 mins. I tripped and fell on my face as well which she though was very genuine hahaha:P If you want help I can mock interview you on skype or something:)</p>
<p>@cusewarsaw17 haha no it’s ok i had my interview via skype already, i just wanted to compare my experiences to others just in case. Congrats on getting accepted, hopefully I’ll be joining you in the class of 2018</p>
<p>Yeah hopefully:) I wish people would join the group I made for this forum first XD</p>
<p>Is the group for this thread or people accepted</p>
<p>for the thread in general, youre gonna get accepted anyway:) (me being overconfident for you haha)</p>
<p>@artvandelay01 I had a 92.1 GPA with pretty hard courses and a 31 ACT 
I had some pretty time-consuming ECs as well, and I personally think my essay had a lot to do with getting in! So far, I think I’ll be majoring in Advertising.</p>
<p>Also, @CuseWarsaw17 Sorry, I didn’t realize I made a page instead of a group! I guess everyone can join yours :)</p>
<p>I too applied for ED to Newhouse for Broadcast Journalism. I didn’t hear back yet… but I’m assuming I shall by this coming Friday (?). </p>
<p>SATs:
M: 500
CR: 580
W: 540 </p>
<p>Founder of the Film Club
Writer/media management for The Cougar Chronicle (school paper)
History Club
SSA Club
SAAD Club
Sophomore Class VP </p>
<p>GPA: 93/100 </p>
<p>Did a campus tour and interview with admissions. I also email my admissions counselor quite frequently. </p>
<p>I know my SATs (especially Math) are quite low, but I’m hoping the other things I’ve done may save me (I’m thinking they will).</p>
<p>@SirIanGibbonsIV Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do fine! and my SAT scores weren’t the best either…
570 math
460 reading
490 writing
(I know they’re terrible scores…I locked myself out of my car that morning and left my calculator and everything else i needed inside or my car…just my luck)
but it seems like you have a lot of involvement in your school and if your interview went well and your essay is written well I’m sure you’ll be fine! You have about the same GPA as I do, so I don’t know if that helps but I wish you the best of luck! :D</p>
<p>Why thank you! Yea, the scores aren’t too hot, but I feel that my overall involvement will really aid me. My interview did go really well, I really connected with my counselor (we discussed how we are both from large families, also our love for Sir Aaron Sorkin). I’m feelin’ pretty confident, but I don’t want to be cocky about it, you know?</p>
<p>Yeah I know exactly how you feel! I’m still in shock that I got in, literally I’ve probably read my acceptance letter like 100 times cause it feels like a dream! But I know how much I wanted this and I can only imagine everyone else felt like I did, which is why I hope you all get in!</p>
<p>@xsyracuse2018 Which school did you get into? I thought I was the only one who has read their acceptance letter like a thousand times in disbelief. Cheers!</p>
<p>I hope all of you get in. Next wave in 5 days!</p>
<p>hahaha Whitman! what about you? I was in line at the house of blues in boston and I got the email and I like looked at it for a solid five minutes before I opened it, and when I finally did,I may have screamed a little… hahaah :)</p>
<p>Hey guys! I know I found other people’s stats super helpful and I am under the impression some of you are still waiting to hear back. If you need more Newhouse stats message me; I would be happy to share mine if they will help ease your stress!</p>
<p>Good luck!!!</p>
