<p>thanks evolving, i think NYU has at least some idea about how it is at my high school because some students from here have been admitted and their average GPA has been a 3.5 as opposed to significantly higher ones elsewhere. i dont know how many applicants exactly NYU has recieved from my school but i think its between 7 and 10 in the last 4 or 5 years (i know this and the average admitted GPA from my school because our guidance office has a computer program that they use which displays all of this data). anyway, i do really appreciate your input, i feel that the written portions of my application (essay/recs) were the strong points so hopefully that translates to a significant chance!</p>
<p>one more question though; i applied into journalism because one of the supplemental questions on the application asked me to provide evidence of my interest in my chosen major and because of my leadership role with the newspaper, journalism was the best/easiest to write about. is the competition for the journalism program any different than any other? i originally was interested in pre-med but heard from several sources that this program was much much harder to gain admittance to and if i had done so i would have almost definitely been rejected. how true was this information? also, how difficult is it to change majors if i do in fact get in?</p>
