Curious - anyone here a Communications major who can give me some insight into what its like? I'm leaning to being a Communications/TV major. I tried to get into Newhouse at Syracuse and they somehow fucking rejected me. Pretty crushing, but they have really high GPA standards. The rankings for communications are really weird--they don't really align at all with typical top school rankings. I also don't hear such great things about the major unless you're at a school like NYU, Cuse, UCLA or the like. It's something a lot of guys go to grad school for without focusing on it undergrad. Also, they rejected me because my grades sucked. No grudges held, Newhouse. You like the idiots with mediocre scores and good grades? Fine. Don't reward laziness. Some society we live in.

I'm looking at applying to Ithaca, BU, Hofstra, 'Cuse, and UPenn, and then potentially American and Rutgers. Blue - what was your essay question? A lot of my friends took it today too, said it was pretty easy as well. I've already taken them, don't think I'll take em again.

A lot of the big ESPN guy went there, gotta think they have a big time communications program.

Yep, I have, and I'm still considering it, just don't think I wanna be in NYC for college - the cost of living is astronomical.

I think housing's apartments, but I could be wrong. My sister got into law school there but turned it down because of costs and housing.

I think housing's apartments, but I could be wrong. My sister got into law school there but turned it down because of costs and housing. Fordham costs about 35k, Ithaca costs about 30. Not including R&B and other shit. Chances are, I go wherever offers me the most financial aid/scholarships/grants, etc. cause my dad really can't afford to pay these ridiculous sums of money, and with the economy going down the toilet, I don't want to be paying a lot.

I thought that section was really easy I actually am good at math, always have been. It was actually my worst section on the PSAT's too (both times). I skipped 5 questions & got 5 questions wrong.

Blue how long was your essay? I managed to churn out a 5 paragraph essay that filled out every single line provided.
