2.78 GPA Syracuse? What are my chances??

<p>Hi I'm a senior in high school with a GPA of 2.78 (last time i checked was the end of junior year) I want to get into Syracuse but i dont know if i can. My only extra curricular activity is being on the tennis team, should i volunteer somewhere or do something else right now? I'm also trying to bring up my GPA to a 3 or better. So what do i do?</p>

<p>syracuse may be really tough for you with 2.78 gpa…
i think you’d better to look for some SUNY schools like
oswego potsdam</p>

<p>Well, based on only this information, I would say that you are probably not going to get in. Even if you are taking the hardest possible course load, a 2.78 gpa is still pretty bad. I mean, you do have a chance, just not a very good one. It depends how you come off in your essays. And you are going to need some really good test scores.</p>

chance me back?</p>

<p>If your SATs are over 1300/1600 or 2000/2400 then you have a chance if not the no.</p>

<p>I checked out their SAT scores for incoming freshmen and it was in the range 1100-1300 I did above 1300 on that. So you think it’ll come down to my essay?</p>

<p>it doesn work out like
high sat covers low GPA
gpa is gpa and sat is sat.</p>

<p>so it will be really hard for u to get in.
what the admissions officers do first is to cut out low gpa ppl
and then cut out low sat ppl, and then look through the applications.</p>

<p>Alright i get it, thank you everyone for replying to this thread. Off to go stress now.</p>
