<p>Hey guys, I was wondering how come I got no email (neither acceptance nor rejection) yesterday when every single friend I know who applied got in? I was hoping somebody could assure me that Syracuse does send these in 'waves?' Does anybody know what puts people in the first wave and so on? Is it random, alphabetical, when you applied, or so on. I am really confused because I seem to have done everything similar to my friend and we applied 2 days different and he heard back. Is the first wave mostly acceptances or were there rejections as well, and do I still have a shot of getting in with a high financial aid package (which I need) in the next wave or does all aid go to the first wave. Are there other people like me because I really thought I would get in but this is making me very nervous. :/</p>
<p>My daughter applied during the ED round. She was accepted in the second wave and got a decent financial aid package. Hope that eases your mind a bit! :)</p>
<p>Last year I was accepted to Syracuse RD in the first wave and received a decent financial aid package and scholarship. If i remember correctly there were about 3 waves or so that were all on fridays. So lookout for an email on friday in the evening, I was actually away on my senior trip and my mom called to tell me of the email i got welcoming me and offering a deans scholarship. I am not really sure how they do the waves maybe random but everyone from my school heard in the first wave so maybe they do it by schools or regions. Eitherway you have nothing to worry about goodluck and I hope you hear this friday!</p>
<p>I was accepted on Friday. I submitted my app the day before it was due, so I’m sure that they don’t notify you based on when you applied. My last name starts with an ‘H,’ so it’s possible that they do it alphabetically in sections.</p>
<p>I also haven’t heard. I submitted my app pretty close to the deadline. I think the waves are chosen by random. My friend heard (she got accepted) on Friday. Her last name is W and I’m M so I don’t think its alphabetical unless they start from the end of the alphabet…I’m sure we will hear soon! Hopefully acceptances :)</p>
<p>Was anyone rejected in the First wave? Does anybody know of anyone who got rejected?</p>
