<p>I would say that you don't have much chance. Sorry. However, who knows? You should apply anyway. If you are REALLY interested in Syracuse and don't care about financial aid, apply ED. You will significantly increase your chances.</p>

<p>I think your grades and scores are a bit low. Apply and see what happens. But to be safe you should appy to UConn, UMass, University of Hartford.</p>

<p>application process is unpredictable. i would say learn more about this school and if you really want to go here. boost up your gpa and sat to about 200 points maybe and you'll have a better shot. aside from that - you have some great other stuff and they are always looking for more diversity</p>

<p>You should apply University of Connecticut or Hartford.</p>

<p>dont give up! if you want it bad enough you can get it</p>

<p>maytbe im just being optimistic for you, but if you bring your sats up to say..1750-1850 i'd say you'd at least be accepted to Arts and Sciences school..you did say you were asian, right...</p>
