Hi I am looking and really want to transfer to newhouse next semester. I was told today the GPA cutoff is a 3.5. I have a 3.493!! Will they round this?
Hey @rebecca62, I’m not sure about this being that I am not a student there but just remember that they look at more than just grades since they are pretty holistic.
Do you mind telling me what school you’re in now though being that I am so anxious to be accepted here? I want Newhouse/ Whitman and I hear back around Jan. 16!!!
Hi info incase you ever would want to transfer in–transferring into newhouse is a system based on a GPA cutoff-all that is looked at is GPA. As of now I am in the school of communication and rhetorical studies. Did you apply ED2 may I ask your stats?

*** Also took and interview at Lubin House. Went well and his face lit up any time I seemed so in love with Syracuse ( which I am) and I was very descriptive and talked mostly about the campus, the academics, and if I felt that I fit in whenever I was talking about SU and then mostly about my academics and extracurriculars now in HS
Other
From NYC
Public School
African American
Female
Need financial assistance
Also applying:
Boston University
NYU
Northeastern University
University of Massachusetts- Amherst
I’m super nervous but regardless if I don’t get into Newhouse I will try and transfer in as well
I think the only thing that may hold you back are your SAT scores. However, being African American will def give you a boost as Syracuse practices affirmative action, especially in newhouse/whitman. You said you are need of financial aid-I must syracuse is sometimes not the best with this, especially if your parent’s income is above 200k you’re looking at almost nothing. Below that you should get something
@rebecca62 thank you so much! I feel the same way about my SAT’s but you never know. At this point I’m just hoping for CAS. And yes I am applying for FA being my single parent makes under $40K
Then cuse should be giving with that. I think you will for sure get in to CAS.
I really do hope, thanks again!
Wish you the best! Just got into Newhouse today, as transferring
!!
Congratulations @rebecca62!! I wish you the best there!
@rebecca62 If you don’t mind me asking, what was he process that you had to go through in order to transfer?
