<p>Hey All, I came upon this article today and have received a bit of confidence about this.</p>
<p>I am applying Early Decision to the Newhouse school. I am a B+ average student that has taken 2 AP’s and 5 honors courses… I also have a lot of journalism experience ( view my other posts if interested).</p>
<p>It’s no secret that I can’t afford the current tuition of $53,000 dollars. One of my parents has recently lost their job, which makes it even more difficult. Since I wouldn’t be eligible for merit aid because my academic stats aren’t the highest, this has given be a vote of confidence.</p>
<p>The questions I have are this: Is SU willing to give out more aid to students who are applying early, because they realize these students are dedicated to the school? Also, assuming I am accepted into Newhouse, do I have a better shot of receiving in comparison to other students because Newhouse applicants bring the most potential to the school?</p>
<p>I am meeting with the dean of Newhouse in a few weeks, and also going for an interview. I am curious if I should mention my situation with my interviewee also… Appreciate any feedback you guys have!</p>
