Chance my son, please!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Syracuse University

<p>Son a junior in excellent public high school in MA. Has a 4.7 weighted GPA (out of 6.0) -- have no idea how this translates on the 4.0 scale but he is a solid B student, having taken 3/4 of his classes at the Advanced level. Will take 3 APs next year (Bio, Stats, Latin); President of Latin Club; varsity golf and crew; few other clubs at school throughout high school and has done a bit of volunteering.</p>

<p>School doesn't rank but he's in top 30% (75/260).</p>

<p>SATs: 700M, 620CR, 520W -- will take again in June.</p>

<p>Also, not applying for financial aid -- does this even matter?</p>

<p>Anyone out there with honest opinion would be most appreciated! Thanks.</p>

<p>He should be fine. Unless he writes a Common App essay talking about how "Mein Kampf" is his favorite book, I don't see what possible reasons he would be rejected (or what areas he lacks in). From a google search, Syracuse appears to be need blind in their admissions process so that shouldn't make a difference.</p>
