<p>oh and Congrats btw. and yeah, i hope lol.</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I GOT IN!!!</p>
<p>■■■■!!! i cried so much! haha</p>
<p>Ahhh!!! Congrats!!! See you next year!</p>
<p>congrats Kingsta!!! see ya in August! =)</p>
<p>^ or quite possibly June if you’re in HEOP, SSSP, or want to do summerstart.</p>
<p>For some of you Syracuse U. will become a love/hate relationship. It certainly is for me.</p>
<p>yeah, i was thinking of doing Summerstart. is it worth it?</p>
<p>Well, if you don’t mind my asking, what parts do you love and which do you hate? Besides weather haha.</p>
<p>see you in the fall kingsta!! congrats!!</p>
<p>kingsta, summerstart is definitely worth it. You end up familiarizing yourself with your peers, upperclassmen and professors, you get a feel for the campus before everyone else and it’s a great way to boost your GPA and earn additional credits since you’re only going to be taking 3 classes maximum in which 1 class is a 1 credit course.</p>
<p>LTS, </p>
<p>What I love:
-Large enough University to meet different people from all over but tighter community than say, NYU (Greek life, parties, sports, learning communities, almost all large lectures having TA’s)
-Well-known name ( I really wouldn’t want to go to a school in which I have to explain the reputation, where it is and why I chose it)
-Plenty of resources and opportunities
-Demanding course-work
-Dorms are convenient, nice and classy than say, Columbia’s</p>
<p>What I hate:
-The weather (really, this is a turn off for a few people who would love to go to SU)
-Inconvenience of registering for classes (Upperclassmen always have first dibs)
- Average food (It may seem scrumptious because it is your first time exposed to a wide variety of food anytime you want to eat but it gets boring after a while)</p>
<p>Other than that, those are all I can think of.</p>
<p>The only thing that is a pro but could also be a con is the fact that there are so many subjects and programs you could choose to major in at SU. For some, that may be a great thing because one could dabble here and there and discover their passion. For others, it may not be so good. Some people find out their passion late in the game (say Junior year) and now either have to cram the core credits required to graduate or stay an extra semester or year to make it up. Staying an extra semester could mean taking out more loans if on FA. And I doubt anybody wants to do that in this economy.</p>
<p>In terms of the weather, if you could survive four years at Syracuse, I really believe you could survive any other college setting.</p>
<p>It all sounds do-able haha thanks. I’m dual-majoring in iSchool and Newhouse, I have 6 college credits from summer courses at my local university though, do you have any experience with dual enrollment? Should I be able to graduate in 4 years?</p>
<p>Of course it’s possible to graduate in 4 as a dual. As long as you plan. Its all about planning and being strategic.</p>
<p>My advice is this: If you’re going to double major with the intentions of graduating on time, you should be ready to work your ass off. </p>
<p>15 credits each semester should be good. That equates to 5 classes per every 3 credits. Dont do more than 15 or you’ll overload. Two of the classes should be credited towards one major while two more should credit another major. The last of the 5 classes should go towards knocking out the core.</p>
<p>You should also look into classes that kills two birds with one stone. For example I took a MAX 123 class which is Critical Issues of The United States and it counted for three core requirements. Needless to say, it was a pretty heavy course. But if you structure your schedule that way then I believe you should be fine. The credits should also help somewhat. I know AP credits cancels out some core classes but I dont know how college credits work for the core. I came in with NYU credits but It didnt help with the core.</p>
<p>Thanks! Yeah, my courses were very general, public speaking and american govt. so hopefully they’ll transfer.</p>
<p>HoL, you think double Majoring in Child and Family Studies(B.S) and Psychology(B.S) and taking Minors Chemistry, Biology, and German is a little bit too much? btw, i am going Pre-Med</p>
<p>I am staying at Syracuse for 5 years because i plan on taking the MCAT over the summer of my 3rd year so i could have that entire summer to do it.</p>
<p>Hi! I’m new to this website, but I also got into SU early decision! Congrats to everybody else who made it!!!</p>
<p>English major. =)</p>
<p>“HoL, you think double Majoring in Child and Family Studies(B.S) and Psychology(B.S) and taking Minors Chemistry, Biology, and German is a little bit too much? btw, i am going Pre-Med”</p>
<p>It is definitely do-able depending on how dedicated you are. You might end up having to take 18 credits for some semesters or might not if you plan from the very beginning and stick with it. You’d probably lose interest in one of them or find another passion which happens to a lot of college students. </p>
<p>I know for most, if not all minors, the most you have to fulfill is 18 credits worth which equates to 6 classes total. I’m pretty sure you can complete 6 classes for each minor in a year and a half.</p>
