Newhouse Interview Questions?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m a high school senior from Ohio.
My mother and I will be driving down to New York this Sunday for an interview.
Syracuse is my first choice.</p>

<p>My test scores and grades are some what average (3.4) (ACT: 24). However, I feel my advantage is my resume. I started my own videography firm three years ago which has grown to include Advertising, Web Design and Graphic (print) Design. Also, the state wide television show I work as editor on received an Emmy award last year.</p>

<p>My letter is ship shape, my resume is polished and my grades are as good as they can be.</p>

<p>I want to make sure this interview is perfect.</p>

<p>What types of questions do they ask for admission into the Newhouse Advertising school?</p>

<p>Please leave your answers as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t think they interview you based on your major since you will probably interview with admissions…</p>

<p>Definitely talk about your experience…they will love it…</p>

<p>as a note, not sure if you applied yet but the advertising design major in VPA would be a great second choice program for you…</p>

<p>Thanks VPA?</p>

<p>Be yourself. There is no way to cheat the interview process. The questions change depending on who interviews you from admissions @ Newhouse, what you say and how you present yourself. </p>

<p>If you don’t get into the program of your choice, the Visual and Performing Arts school also has some very good programs that serve as alternatives to Newhouse. Good luck@</p>

<p>Thank you all this is great stuff!
Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>i had my interview last month, and i was accepted to newhouse. the woman was very sweet and my nerves subsided as soon as we started chatting. she asked me the standard “why syracuse?” and i had a good response prepared because thats obviously going to come up. but she also asked some things that caught me off guard like: “if you could be on any tv show what would it be and why” and “if you could meet any 3 people in history alive or dead who would they be and why”. it required a lot of hardcore thinking in a short amount of time. also talk up any community service you can, they like to know that you’ll be a part of the Scholarship in Action concept.</p>

<p>as long as you seem sincere, make eye contact, have a firm handshake, and answer honestly you should be ok :)</p>
