<p>i think having the counselor calling isn’t going to make them want to take you any more - all they are going to say is that you should have thought of this possibility before you finalized your list of colleges to which you would apply and it’s your own fault you didn’t get in anywhere and they definitely won’t be happy that they were your safety.</p>
<p>i don’t mean to sound harsh, but i’m playing devil’s advocate. how is syracuse going to think when your counselor calls them? “hi, my student didn’t get in anywhere else but he’s on your waitlist. accept him please!” that’s not a reason for them to accept you.</p>
<p>but i would say try a community college to get some credits out of the way and then transfer somewhere</p>
