Syracuse ED Thread Class of 2014!

<p>if to day is “the” day, as I hope it is, good luck to everyone, again!</p>

<p>does everybody have a link in their my slice account to accept an offer of admission? this seems to be new today.</p>

<p>yess i have that… it doesn’t mean anything does it? i think they jsut added that to all accounts</p>

<p>yes, i believe they added it to all accounts…but i was just checking.</p>

<p>where online are we suppose to look for decisions?</p>

<p>I think SU sends e-mails with the decision letters attached. I just called admissions and they keep telling me “Mid to late December” is when they are sending out decisions. I did not inquire further but we are in mid-December. Are they sending out decision letters today like stated in an earlier post? Regardless, good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK! hope today is THE day.</p>

<p>x501- My short answers fit a page all together (Times new roman 12). But i couldnt answer the second one since I’ve never had a job. I hope that helps!</p>

<p>^Oh, so did you not answer the second one? I also have never had a paid job experience before. Btw, double-spaced or no?</p>

<p>Congratulations again!</p>

<p>x501- Aw thanks! It was single spaced. Did you apply ED as well?</p>

<p>STS: congrats!! PM me if you have any Newhouse questions as you go through the process; daughter is a sophomore…</p>

<p>others: Congrats as well; please post stats for the 2011 HS grads</p>

<p>Shesthesummer - I did not, because I want to be sure of my financial aid package before deciding. I will be applying RD for Newhouse, though, and it’s my number one choice! I’m really nervous.</p>
