I could swear I read the same thing about the two week delay for scholarship notification but now can’t figure out where I read it. Where did you see it? Has your daughter already received an actual letter and not just an email?
my kids scholarship came with their acceptance letter, BUT her friends said nothing. Not sure it’s different for everyone……
D received this email today. Any idea what % of students who compete actually get the scholarship?
" Congratulations again on your admission to Syracuse University. All first-year freshmen admitted to any Maxwell academic program for fall 2022 are invited to participate in Syracuse University’s prestigious annual Maxwell Citizenship Scholarship Competition, which provides four $15,000 scholarships renewable for four years."

You can ask on a Syracuse Parents FB page. A parent there might be able to chime in with details/experience with it. GL
Sending this to the Chancellor is the worst advice that you could give your child. Sometimes writing the email is cathartic but sending it is another story. It’s unlikely that it would be looked at, but it will only hurt your child’s chances more than it will help. This is virtually the same process they have used for years and there are enough people that bleed orange that they don’t have to be nice. Take this as what you will get from the school if your child were to attend. If you don’t like their admission policy, then you probably won’t like they deal with things should your child get in and attend.

Typically this week will be mostly waitlisted students. Next week will be mostly rejections. But then a few kids report on acceptances so all the kids get their hopes up.

She got a letter attached to an email. The kinks are active. Below is where I saw it🙏

I think you are correct. Still, I hope someone from Syracuse admissions is reading this thread and thinking about whether they should/could be nice even though they don’t have to be.
It is a glaring red flag that the school is a terrible fit.

I don’t understand what isn’t “nice” about the process? Just because it’s stressful for some doesn’t make it mean. The logic on this thread is so confusing to me. SU is different than some schools, but it’s not unique. It’s not something the university is arbitrarily inflicting on people. Applicants signed up for this. If it feels so wrong and is so upsetting then it’s time to move on to other options. It’s really that simple.

I didn’t tell my child to send the email, she wanted to. She’s an 18 year old young woman who can make her own choices, and even if I didn’t approve of the email there’s no way of stopping her from sending it anyway.
If you think this is hurting her chances then you can look back at my previous posts from the past 3 days to see how I feel about opinions similar to yours

How do you know this? I thought the roll out was random? This doesn’t sound random.

Scroll through the this year and previous years’ threads.
How do you both know this? Do you have kids already in the school? Wondering what you are basing this on. When my daughter applied, I don’t recall there being anything said about how decisions are rolled out over weeks, with each passing week having a more negative outcome than the last. All I see on their site is that the decisions commence mid March and flow from there. Am I missing something? Nothing about randomness. Nothing about less chances of admission once they start flowing out.
I don’t know that that’s “data” either. You’re basing that on people who have chosen to get onto a board and volunteer info. You have nothing from the admissions office or people, right? Just wondering.

Ok everyone, please hang in there. I am choosing to remain positive although as each days passes it is getting a bit tougher. Yet, I am remain positive and hopeful. I think it is also important to have a place to vent so if people want to vent about this process then let them. We will all know soon enough. It is easier to vent in a place where others can relate. When I talk to friends or family it is just not the same. My D applied ED2 and deferred due to a stupid mistake actually on my part. They said at the time how to correct and then said her application reads well. So, having this long wait has been really difficult for both of us. But we are not giving up hope!!!

I know from past experience that decisions are in waves, and there are acceptances in later waves. I don’t know how they determine who gets 1st, 2nd, 3rd batch but it’s not by who is best to least. My older daughter applied 3 years ago and it was the same experience. We know many people who got in or rejected on different weeks. I wouldn’t take silence as a rejection or read too much into anything

This sums it up excellently. My daughter is a senior. She was waitlisted 4 years ago and I read the thread for a about 6 years. There are done minor changes like they released on a Thursday one year when Friday was Good Friday but still post 5pm when their office would be closed.

Haha…just received a donor request letter in the mail from Cuse. I’ll think about it after we find out if and when my kid gets a decision.
