Chances at Syracuse?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Syracuse University

<p>I am a rising Junior. My GPA is 3.9, and I am ranked 22 in my school (Top 10%). Thus far I have taken 7 honors courses, and 1 AP (World History-3), and I plan to take 5 or 6 more APs over the next two years. I have not taken the SAT yet, but I got a 185 on the PSAT (M-59,CR-63,W-63). </p>

<p>ECs:
Tennis team
USTA tennis tournaments
Volunteer/work at tennis center
Volunteer with Beta Club
Joining Model UN this year, running for President or VP senior year
On the school newspaper (believe I will be sport's editor this year)</p>

<p>I know I am still fairly early in high school, but if my grades stay this way and everything goes as planned with my EC's and my SAT turns out around my PSAT (I know the SAT is harder but I think since I'll actually study for the SAT my score should stay close) what do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>It may not be that easy.</p>

<p>My brother’s kid got into Cornell, but got wait listed at Syracuse.</p>

<p>I think the lesson he learned was that you have to show true interest in the school, by visiting it, and making sure the college knows that you went to one of their information sessions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice! I attended an info session, general tour, and a tour of Newhouse earlier this week, and it has really made more interested in the school.</p>
