@screenname3488 No problem! My GPA is 4.0 (unweighted) and 4.7 (weighted). Composite SAT: 2220. Just made it into top 10% off class. I actually go to an arts school and I’m a communications major there; I do journalism (editor-in-chief of newsmagazine) and film. However, I’m waaaay stronger in journalism so that’s why I submitted a journalism portfolio. I also have some other leadership positions.
I actually got an email from the chair of the communication studies department saying saying he likes “to personally reach out to the most promising of our accepted students” and he offered to answer any questions I had about the major, which I thought was really cool. That being said, it seems like my stats were a bit over the average or they liked my portfolio/essays or because I got into the honors program or whatever it was, if I’m considered of “the most promising” of the communications studies accepted students. (I really hope that doesn’t sound pretentious I don’t mean it like that!) So if your stats are “lower” than mine don’t worry! Every applicant is different so just put your best foot forward.
