I didn’t take the ACT, so I can’t really help you there, but the rest of your stats seem pretty solid. When i applied to Newhouse I had a 3.84 GPA and a 1990 superscore SAT and less overall curriculars than you (although more of mine were broadcasting things), no interview, and I got in. As an ED advertising major, I’d say your stats look pretty good. Obviously I have no real insight but based on what I know of myself and friends I’d say you have at least a pretty decent chance of getting in.
