Syracuse ED 2018 Thread

<p>Mysticalkites: I applied for a dual program between Newhouse and CAS, with Arts & Sciences as my second choice. My ec’s are all really heavy in either international relations or journalism.</p>

<p>That’s so weird you didn’t get in. You have all the credentials to at least get into Arts and Sciences if not Newhouse. I would call, or have your GC call. Something must have went wrong if you were not even deferred. </p>

<p>Did you already visit SU before applying ED?</p>

<p>Very weird.
Checking Naviance for my Son’s HS for example, EVERYBODY who applied in the past seven years with at least a 3.0 and a 1900 has gotten in and Winterfell is light-years above that.</p>

<p>Soze and Mysticalkites: Yeah, I’m having my GC call tomorrow. My high school is really competitive (top 10 in the US) so the GPA of people who got into Syracuse was a 3.8, and I’m below that, but the avg SAT was around a 2100 which mine is higher than. I also thought I had enough journalism credentials and extracurriculars (I worked at a major national newspaper over the summer and had my boss write an additional recommendation). I’m at a loss, but I’ll live.</p>

<p>winterfell: Your SAT is not mearly “above” that, it’s into the “magic territory.”
Not every SAT point is created equal. The 200 points between a 1900 and a 2100 are not nearly as much of a game changer as the the 200 points between a 2100 and an 2300, plus you’ve even left 2300 in your rear-view-mirror.</p>

<p>Something has to be awry, this just flat out does not make sense.</p>

<p>Soze: My guidance counselor called them this morning and they said they couldn’t discuss my decision. But I have been accepted to UMich and Elon already, so while this sucks, I’m not too upset. I think it might have had to do with my GPA–I didn’t have straight A’s or nearly straight A’s at all, mostly an A-B student and perhaps the Newhouse competition was really high this year.</p>

<p>Does anyone know when I should hear back from BANDIER ED 2?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>@JoBenny, Syracuse alum here. I, too, am outraged by the ED fiasco that I have been reading about in this thread. I will be sending a naughty note to the Dean of Admissions and to the interim Chancellor to let them know that this is unacceptable.</p>

<p>My son found out around 3:40 PM today that he was accepted into the Systems and Information Science program (dual program in Engineering/CS and the iSchool). Yayyyyy!!!</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me when ED-2 decisions are supposed to be released?</p>

<p>I emailed, and they said we should get them by Feb 1st. I applied to BANDIER though, so I think I should be getting notified later…</p>

<p>Thanks, Livvyyy123. I applied to Engineering and I’m really anxious to hear back. It will be a long month! Good luck to you.</p>

<p>son just heard via email that he didn’t get accepted…surprising…seriously bummed and our college counselor very confused by Syracuse’s recent decisions…onward and upward good luck to all</p>

<p>I got in CAS around 5 days ago , I really didnt think i would with my stats. ( 3.487 weighted gpa and 1640 SAT)</p>

<p>Wow…mnrmom…I’m really sorry to hear that. Do you mind sharing your sons stats so others can get an idea of their chance, or lack there of, for getting in?</p>

<p>Hey everyone, I know that this is an early decision thread but I did not apply ED I just applied regular decision and wanted to ask some question. Does anyone know how many people have been accepted into Newhouse so far? I applied regular decision to Newhouse and I’m hoping that there is still a chance for me to get in. Here our my stats.

<p>I should have applied early decision II but I did not know that was an option. I would absolutely love to go Syracuse next year, it is an amazing school with amazing opportunities. Thank you all for your help</p>

<p>Just found out yesterday that I was differed. I applied ED 2 to bandier and backup was VPA. I don’t know if that means I was differed from bandier?</p>

<p>Anyone know when ED 2 decisions will be released? I applied to Engineering…</p>

<p>well livvyyy123 found out already. so the rest of us should probably hear soon. </p>

<p>i think syracuse releases the decisions in waves every week… on friday? can anyone verify that?</p>
