<p>Money is not a problem either, I am of Indian ethnicity (M).
Top 35% of Class </p>

<p>I know my GPA is low but weighted by normal high school standards it would be like a 3.4 or 3.5.</p>

<p>Also would getting up to a 27 or 28 on the ACT improve my chances?</p>

<p>Come on guys, let me know! )=</p>

3

<p>I think it depends upon your major. What are you planning to major in. Newhouse is the most difficult major I beliee to get into.</p>

4

<p>I don’t plan on going to new house. I know I wouldn’t stand a chance of getting in there.</p>

5

<p>I Just to into Engineering Department ( It is ranked 82 on US World Report) Not great, but not terrible.<br>
My Stats are:
GAP 3.2
SAT 1810</p>

<p>So I think you could get in, but I think you need to research which majors would work. I notice on this thread people are not as forthcoming about their stats as on some other school threads but just look over who got in with what…and you can figure it out.</p>

<p>I didn’t think I would get in, and I just did.
Good Luck</p>

<p>Oh, My Senior year I had all 95’s and above showing an upward trend. Thre reason my GPA is low is because I messed up in Freshman year. So do really well from now on because some schools look at this trend.</p>

<p>Alright thanks! really appreciate it!</p>

<p>How many honors/ap’s did you take by the way and do a lot of extra curriculars help my chances for syracuse?</p>

<p>Anyone else have anything to say? I would great appreciate it!</p>

8

<p>haha you really think so? What should I do to improve my chances though?</p>

9

<p>I can’t get my unweighted gpa up junior year unless a 3.3 counts by end of senior year</p>
