<p>I replied to your post on the New York Schools thread also, but I will post my response for you here as well…Good luck!</p>

<p>Carlozz16 - I think you have an excellent chance of acceptance at Syracuse…The upward curve in GPA is exactly what colleges like to see, your taking challenging courses…your a URM and First Generation which are great hooks, applying ED will look even better for you, it will really show your interest level in Syracuse and the fact that your parents are low income helps with financial aid…my D was accepted and received a wonderful financial aid package because we are also low income…we had an EFC of O and she is as I write this having the time of her life up at Syracuse for their three day Multicultural Spring Program, she will back on Tuesday. So I say shoot for the stars and I expect you will be a member of Syracuse U Class of 2015! Good Luck to you!</p>
