My son applied to film with TRF as an alternate. I know both are very competitive programs. 1. Will they consider his alternate major? 2. If he isn’t accepted into either program is he rejected entirely from Syracuse (could he be given an opportunity to change his major)? TIA
Also know someone who applied undecided and received $57K. That scholarship does have a need component. That makes it very affordable for them. Very high stat student, near top of graduating class of almost 600 students.
Pretty frustrated and bummed myself. Our high school CC just got an update from the SU rep. My D applied to Newhouse. Rep said that a batch coming out on the 24th but there were a ton of apps so may not get an answer till even later. She was deferred due to test optional so this wait is even more stressful.
Oh wow! That’s awesome!
Curious. When you say 57k or 28K, is that per year or over 4 years?

Per year, at least for the scholarship my son received, which sounds similar to several that posted here.
Congrats to all accepted and good luck to those waiting!
It’s the 1870 scholarship and does require need so that is probably why it is higher. It’s full tuition for 4-5 years.
I got accepted into ischool today with leadership scholarship

Congratulations! My daughter received a leadership scholarship as well. They surprised us and came out early. Syracuse also said they give all tuition exchange scholarships to those approved from their home university (it’s a scholarship for those whose parents work at a University) so she should have free tuition between the two as that is $40K and Syracuse allows stacking of scholarships. Still waiting on our home state University of Michigan decision.

Congrats to your daughter too! Very exciting. I’m waiting on Michigan too I got postponed EA. Goodluck to you both 
Same to you. She was also deferred EA and from a top feeder school. It will be a tough choice as she wanted to go away and Ann Arbor is only 45 minutes away from home. She was thinking it’s a little too close but there are benefits to that too.
Yes! I got into Falk today with the Leadership Scholarship around 5pm EST

Any VPA acceptances yet? My DS didn’t hear anything tonight and is discouraged.
i will say that the ED decision letters were marked with the date 12/14 (a tuesday) when decisions came out on 12/17 (the later friday). this could indicate that the decision notifications were intended for release on the tuesday, and so it could come out on days other than friday
I think today was just Leadership Scholarships. I got in today for Film at VPA, but the rest of acceptances will be released soon I’m guessing. Don’t worry if you did not hear today, the majority of acceptances are still to come, and you can still get other scholarships. Hope this helps, best of luck to your son!

The tour guide she is referring to may have been a lily white guy from Sweden. Please don’t insert racism in situations where none is expressed.
It is very legitimate to be disappointed by a tour guide who can’t communicate clearly and who doesn’t have a lot of knowledge about the university, and stating a fact like he was foreign is not an insult, unless you perceive being non-American as a bad thing. That foreign student likely speaks English better than most of us speak another language, so being foreign isn’t an overall negative.
