<p>Waxbatt…you are the best!!</p>
<p>collegemom1315… what school did you aplpy to? </p>
<p>also is it safe to say that we can find out ANYDAY now after 5pm before dec 22?</p>
<p>Pretty much</p>
<p>It can be hard to transfer to Newhouse. It is very competitive and requires at least a 3.5 GPA.</p>
<p>thanks rodney, do you mean a viable second choice school? If so, she’s already been accepted to her 2nd choice school and even a 3rd. We are waiting to hear from the other 6 or so.</p>
<p>Folks, Duke and Stanford have already sent some responses, in, defer and even deny have been received by Nor Cal students.</p>
<p>letgetthisalldone: no, I mean on the Syracuse application they ask you for a 2nd choice sub school there; if you have applied ED or even RD, Syracuse will try to place you in your second choice if you are not admitted to your first…</p>
<p>so, for example, if you applied ED to Newhouse and you were not admitted to Newhouse, but put on your application, let’s say in VPA-communication as your second choice…Syracuse can (and often) will admit you to your second choice and it is not a binding decision; there is another thread started by JSIMON that actually talks about just this…</p>
<p>this applies to Whitman, etc. as well…</p>
<p>that’s why applying to Syracuse requires strategic maneuvering…for all sub-schools…</p>
<p>hi hope29292
my daughter applied to the college of arts and science as a biotechnology major; how about you?</p>
<p>rodney, correct. she was admitted to Religion & Society - part of Arts & Sciences. So all in all, we are all still extremely happy. Rodney, you are a voice of sanity on this Syracuse thread…</p>
<p>Rodney, what do you think the is the best route in terms of majors if you hope to transfer into Newhouse as a sophomore? My second choice was VPA for Communications and Rhetorical Studies but do you think it would be a smarter to go the undecided route at the College of Arts and Sciences? I hope to major in Public Relations if that makes a difference… Thanks!</p>
<p>chicagogrL: you got it right the first time; VPA CRS ; plus even if you stay with that major, the internships and connections are still quite good…and I suggest that because your GPA would be highest for the transfer…</p>
<p>Just got off the phone with a nice lady in admissions…very helpful! She said the school releases decisions ONCE A WEEK; therefore tomorrow will be the next batch of decisions emailed to prospective freshmen. Good Luck to everyone!!!</p>
<p>Admissions team go on break the 23rd. I cross-checked with Steele Hall.</p>
<p>My daughter got an e-mail on Dec. 10 indicating she was accepted. Now waiting to hear about possible merit scholarships. Anyone have any info on that?</p>
<p>Iceskater93 - my niece transferred into the Newhouse school once she got to SU - 1/2 way through her freshman year. That was about 7 years ago. I am not sure what her stats were but I know she was a pretty good student. Best of Luck to You!!</p>
<p>i’m absolutely on the edge.
i have done everything to get in.
With a 3.76, 27 ACT, national honors society, three sports, coaching, 2 year yearbook editor, voulenteering you name it, a successful interview with admissions I feel like i may have a shot.</p>
<p>Oh and mayor of Detroit/NBA hall of famer/successful businessman Syracuse alumni Dave Bing writing me a letter of rec should help out a little. </p>
<p>Anyway, i’ll have my fingers crossed for tomorrow.</p>
<p>us too nhs…us too…</p>
<p>Accepted into Whitman first but it was a mistake, I’m going to Newhouse!</p>
<p>When did that happen to you? Specifically, when were you accepted? The 10th or today?</p>
<p>Tick Tock Tick Tock can’t wait for 5 o’clock…</p>
