Hi everyone! I am a senior in high school and recently applied as an early decision applicant to Syracuse… if you’re also applying ED or have in the past feel free to post here 
I fall a little under SU’s average stats where I have an 87.7 GPA freshmen-junior year and my sat is an 1130. I did an off campus interview (not really sure how it went, I missed some things I wanted to talk about when he asked because I was pretty nervous) and I was told ED would be a better option for kids with lower SAT scores/around a 3.2 GPA, which I am above. Since I applied to the school of arts/sciences which isnt as competitive, do you guys think i have a good shot of getting in?
I am a senior as well and I applied early decision to the School of Engineering. I have an 1180 and 3.7 with a lot of extracurriculars relating to engineering and community service. In school, I have been very involved with clubs and athletics, (6 seasons of sports.) I also did an on-campus interview that I feel went really well.
@apez001 hopefully they see I took initiative and signed up for an interview despite the fact that I missed some points in it, whatever I didn’t cover though I just put on my application. You have a strong academic and personal background so it seems like you’ll be fine!! I’m so worried about mine tbh
I applied to Newhouse and Whitman as a second choice and am really anxious to hear from admissions. I applied early decision b/c its my top school and thought it would give me a better shot rather than regular.

How much do you guys think the interview matters? Mine was off campus and it went well for the most part its just that when he asked for leadership roles I kinda blanked out and didn’t really say I did any (though I put what I actually do on my application lol) I hope it doesnt matter too much honestly. Also when are we supposed to hear back?? The guy at my interview told me the 15th but online it says late December to early January. Do you guys know anything?
I figured that since winter break starts next Friday we would get our decisions around then
I think the offices stay open for another week. So I am guessing they come out on 12/21. But I am hopeful that they start next week!!
