Honestly I think they’re just gonna give general information because they don’t wanna give an exact date since acceptances very from school to school at Syracuse University.
Yes, I made the call myself to admissions and relayed what they said to my kid during the tour this week. They said they are basically coming out now until the end of March but should be done before April. But she cannot give me any certainty of any date or that they would be released on a Friday etc. I think this might be the only school that could not give me any kind of info at all.

@NJmom3G “Terrible tour guide” = “he was foreign” ….could have left that part off and went with the mumbler and new to campus as reasons for a poor tour guide experience. Comments like these underscore the concerns I have with my daughter attending a PWI.

I don’t know what a PWI is, or what your specific concern is, but if your daughter has a very thick accent and limited knowledge of the university, I don’t recommend her becoming a tour guide. This young man was not well suited as a tour guide simply because we could not understand much of what he said, and what we did understand was not helpful because he was unable to answer questions, having had limited experience on campus. He was new to the university, and new to the US.

Reaching out to share that the Leadership Scholarship offers have been extended. My daughter just received an acceptance from SU tonight at 5:04pm. Dual enrollment in Whitman/Newhouse with a Whitman Leadership Scholarship offer of $28K.
My son is a junior in Whitman, so we were not expecting a Wednesday night release. They are usually done on Fridays, so just sharing that this year is very different.
In the past, the Leadership Scholarships are released on the first Friday, then on subsequent Fridays there are still scholarships - Founder’s, Chancellor’s, and Dean’s - that are released throughout the entire release period. News of any scholarship will be included in the PDF acceptance letter, which is linked in the email.
Congrats to the Leadership Scholars who were notified tonight. And good luck to all those still waiting. It should start happening fast, now that these scholarships have been released.
Go Orange!

@NJmom3G PWI = Predominately White Institution. It’s telling you aren’t even familiar with that term. Now I don’t know if the particular “foreign” person you reference was a person of color, but seeing as many international students are POC, then it would behoove you to consider how someone might feel on multiple levels reading your comment when they are applying as an international student. Syracuse (along with many other “PWIs”) has had its share of racist incidents in very recent years. How about “tour guide was difficult to understand” instead of he was terrible because he was “foreign.” Those are two different things and language matters, especially for those already facing stigma.

Nope!
Anyone get Falk??
Anyone for Newhouse?
Anyone for VPA? In general does that mean we should expect to possibly hear tomorrow or Friday?
Friday after 4.
I keep saying Friday after 4, but if someone got one today, Wednesday, I guess it really could be any day now. So sorry if I have misled everyone! Just basing it on prior years!! Good luck to all
