<p>Has anyone ever gotten in with ridiculously low SAT scores or GPA? I currently have a 3.32 uw and 3.71 weighted GPA. I heard that the average for Syracuse is like 3.6. Anyway...crazy admission stories will make me feel better. LOL</p>

<p>Stats from my school last yr. hope they helped. it startled me how the top of the list were waitlisted.</p>
<p>at my high school, a few kids got in with GPA's hovering in the low 80's with very low SATs to boot. Most kids who got in and went had around a B+ to A- unweighted average and SATs in the 1100 (out of 1600) range.</p>
<p>Thanks munkeegirl, the info. did help once i got past all of the numbers. LOL</p>
<p>That's really weird. Why would the exceptional students according to Grades and Test Scores be waitlisted, then everyone else is basically accepted.</p>
<p>we dont take kindly to smart people on this campus :p</p>
<p>tbh you will find that many students here are dumb as a rock - they're far more interested in how they look or which celebrity couple just did what. Yeah, I hate them and I hate SU for accepting them. But if you really look, you will find that most of the <code>smart</code> kids stick together (in general - by way of the classes they take, the clubs they're in, and the lectures/events/conferences they attend). So there is a sizable group of non-dumb people, they just take a while to find :-)</p>
<p>I think the reason Syracuse waitlisted those highly qualified students is because they probably think those students are using Syracuse as a safety. Believe it or not I heard NYU did something like this with Harvard-type applicants a few years ago. Munkeegirl, those stats seem similar to my high school (Bronx Sciene) in NYC. Do you go there too, or Stuy?</p>
<p>QNyergrl might have something there. I totally understand why they would do that.........interesting.</p>
