<p>Syracuse: Mid-Match
SAT score falls in their range, although I suggest you retake it to be safe and to move up from that 50th percentile for Syracuse. Ecs look fairly good and you should consider working or volunteering this summer. Your GPA is smack in the middle 50 percentile as well for Syracuse, so really work on those essays! Good luck! I refer you to this page for comparisons :).

<p>My bad, your GPA is actually a little on the lower end :(</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>It depends what school.
For Newhouse, no way.
For A&S or maybe Whitman you have a low-outside chance.</p>

<p>I’ve seen a lot of kids with lower stats get into Syracuse. You have a good chance.</p>
