<p>Hello everyone :-h , </p>
<p>I created a new discussion page for the Early Decision applicants :). </p>
<p>I will be an ED applicant for Newhouse! :))</p>
<p>I will apply early decision for Newhouse too! </p>
<p>I’m applying ED to the College of Visual and Performing Arts for film. I’m from Michigan. My ACT is 26 (I’m retaking it in September.) My GPA is about a 3.4 unweighted. I did three high schools sports, Key Club, SADD, GSA, WDHS (student film group), and student council. I had a job for over a year. I also attended NHSI at Northwestern University for Film & Video with a scholarship. I’ll have taken 3 AP classes out of the 8 offered at my high school by the time I graduate and a few honors classes.</p>
<p>Still considering weather I should apply ED to Newhouse!</p>
<p>I know its really competitive, and I don’t really meet the stats requirements… so I kinda need that extra push (ED)… </p>
<p>But how much does it really help??
Is it worth it? Such a big commitment!
But it’s DEFF my top choice school… I really wanna go there but ED is kinda scary… you know? </p>
<p>Anyone know acceptance rates at Newhouse for ED and RD? </p>
<p>@meg31776 from what I’ve researched and heard, if you know for sure that newhouse is where you want to go, apply ED. There seems to be a much better chance of getting accepted while applying ED. I am applying ED, as well as going in for an interview! Good luck!!</p>
<p>I don’t think I stack up to the applicant pool but I do love Newhouse and have a good resume … What do you guys think? I really want to go there!</p>
<p>@legallypink‌ it depends on your GPA and other stats, you could start a chances thread</p>
<p>I’m applying ED to Newhouse! My unweighted GPA is 3.9/Weighted 4.2 and my ACT score is 28. I plan on retaking the ACT in September. I have been the Editor-in-Chief of my high school newspaper for 2 years and have a summer internship with an internet taxonomy/search engine marketing firm that works with companies such as Google and Yahoo. I’m also President of my high school French Club and an AP scholar with 7 AP classes. Syracuse is my dream school and I feel like Newhouse is a good fit for me! Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>For those of you thinking of applying ED to Newhouse, here’s some data from my S’s experience last year which might be helpful.</p>
<p>He had a 3.4w GPA from a very competitive small public HS in an affluent community.
He had a 2250 SAT.
He had “pretty good ECs”
He had a interview that he believes actually went quite badly.</p>
<p>He was accepted to Newhouse ED.</p>
<p>NOTE: (this is important to know if you’re considering applying ED).
Syracuse does NOT respect the “prior to January 1st” ED-1 notification date. They started to let applicants know around mid-December and keep going until god-knows-when (he got his notification on Jan. 7th). So if your plans include applying ED-II to another school if Syracuse rejects or defers you from ED-1, think again. Basically if you want to apply ED to Syracuse, you’re going to blow both your ED-1 AND ED-2 options at once.</p>

What are you guys looking like? Please share xP </p>
<p>This might be a dumb question, can you apply ED undecided? </p>
<p>I believe you are required to choose a college or a dual program. You can be undecided within that college. Syracuse allows you to make a second and third choice as well. If you are not accepted into your first choice, the ED commitment to attend is waived.
Good luck.</p>
<p>I’m going to send in my app soon. I’m applying ED to Newhouse</p>
<p>Another ED to Newhouse! 
</p>
<p>I sent in my for Newhouse ED and had an interview up there this past Thursday. I think it went really well… Now the waiting game</p>
<p>applying ED arts/sciences !!</p>
<p>When do people usually hear back for ED. I know its supposed to be before January 1st.</p>
<p>lexeau - I think the first wave is in December. Definitely before Christmas, I’m sure. </p>
<p>There seems to be a lot of ED’s to Newhouse here. I am too! :)</p>
<p>I have a 3.7 GPA on a 4.0 scale, I’ve taken multiple honors and AP classes, and I have a 1860/2400 on my SAT’s. I’m somewhere in between the top 10-20% in my class of 300 - my school doesn’t give out our exact ranks. I’m involved in a lot of after school clubs: National Honors Society, news editor for my school newspaper, Best Buddies, Peer Mentors, and Key Club. I’m also in a youth group at my church, I was a camp counselor for a summer, I run cross country, and I’m a senior captain on my varsity tennis team.</p>
<p>I’ve been to the campus twice for tours, and I also had an interview with a woman from admissions a few weeks ago. She was very sweet - we got along really well! Hopefully she remembers me! </p>
<p>She talked to me about transferring into Newhouse my freshman year of college if I don’t get in as a high schooler. My second choice school is Arts and Sciences. Students can transfer into Newhouse if they have higher than a 3.5 GPA for their first semester of classes. A lot of students I talked to on the campus tours told me that they took this route and it worked out fine for them.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! :)</p>
<p>Hey guys! I applied ED a couple days ago to the Arts and Sciences</p>
<p>I have a 3.11 GPA unweighted, but that’s because within my first 3 years of high school I attended 4 different schools, so grades were hard to keep up. I have a 31 ACT, and this year I am taking all but 2 of my classes at Kent State University. So I will be 2 classes short of being a sophomore, after this year. I shadow a doctor for 10 hours a week at the Cleveland Clinic who actually is an alumni of Syracuse and wrote me a recommendation. I also volunteer 12 hours a week at an animal shelter. I have 3 varsity letters in soccer, and 3 in track and field. I am very actively involved in my church, also. </p>
<p>I have been talking to the head track/cross country coach as well. Also, my interview went amazingly, and we talked for 20 minutes over my time slot. Overall, I hope I have a good chance to get in. And good luck everyone! </p>
