syracuse university -- went there. did girlfriend creative/art director in nyc. she's been working in nyc since graduation. newhouse school communications school northeast , nyc. forget every other comm school except northwestern being in same league. go newhouse , try job in media in nyc , in. alumni network strong, dubbed "the newhouse mafia". why g/f went interview interveiwed 2 newhouse grads, liked , has meet head creative, from......newhouse. she's worked on bass ale, american express , verizon.

drawback su there advertising major splits @ end of second year. go creative track, others managment (media buying, etc) track. went creative track. said school did not give enough formal graphics training (indesign, photoshop, etc.) true. did however, work on alot of things on own, , got training once hired. have ad club , many meet , greets in nyc power players. if have gpa , sat, can in.

warning: newhouse more difficult syracuse's liberal arts schools. whereas if choose liberal arts can in w/ 3.0 , 1100 (1600) don't know new scale. newhouse need 1300+ , high gpa. got in money 1400/1600 sat , 3.9 gpa/4.6 in 2003. girlfriend did not newhouse right away, (she 3.3 w/ 1220) had apply @ end of year 1 of school transfer in. pretty sure can transfer in automatically 3.5gpa or better after year one. made it.
