<p>^You had 800 in French…but you’re French already…That will not help you a lot.</p>
<p>Oh, and Nina, it is unfair. I do agree. But sadly there’s not much we can do about it.</p>
<p>I’m not french though, I’m an American Citizen. I simply grew up in France. I took that SAT II also because I’m considering majoring in french studies. But I know it’s not of much help yes.</p>
<p>Nina: As a parent of a 2012 SU grad, I hope you are admitted…a bigger question that might influence the decision might be if you applied for FA?</p>
<p>A full pay student in RD with borderline stats has a better chance of admittance…and btw, lightmeup, I know quite a few arts and sci students who have been admitted with lower stats than the OP…</p>
<p>I am not applying for Financial Aid no.</p>
<p>A further point about my GPA (which I didn’t really intend on discussing in this thread since I already had in a prior one) is that it’s only low because of my freshman and sophomore years in France (which weren’t really freshman and sophomore years…diff systems), my Junior year in HS here is 4.1 weighted, and my senior year has been very good as well.</p>
<p>^^unlike lightmeup, I think you will be fine…if you are waitlisted, and SU is your first choice, please contact your rep and let them know you would definitely attend if accepted…</p>
<p>Jw, what school there did you put for your second choice? (I.e. human Ec, VPA, etc)</p>
<p>^But do you speak fluent French? Is it your first language - or is it English?
If you do plan on majoring in French studies, then I can see how it can be an advantage for you to have such a high score. </p>
<p>What were your Syracuse essays about?</p>
<p>xlightmeup-you dont know everything, the point of these messages is to give people hope not bring then down. I just got into Syracuse into the business program and I only have a GPA of 2.99. I also only have an SAT score of 1650. Syracuse obviously does not only look at GPA or at SAT scores alone. I may have written a great essay in their eyes, or maybe my course load was good, idk but i got in not having a 4.0 GPA or 2100 on the SAT. It depends on what their looking for in the student.</p>
<p>Oh wow! Congratz on that! I’m hoping and praying they’ll give me a chance, but if not, I’ll figure it out. But I’m really happy for you Lizcollege! And thanks for the message!</p>
<p>I also meant to say im from out of state! thank you also. I hope you get in, and dont let people bring you down, there will always be people out there who will, but dont listen to them, just work hard and you’ll make the best of anything.</p>
I know this is late, but did you end up getting in Nina?
I applied ED II for Fall 2016 and am praying I get in
