My D got her FA info today. It was surprisingly aweful. Zero grant money, only work study and loan. Obviously at 70k there is no way we can swing it. I will call and ask for them to revisit our situation, but without grant help her spot will likely be avail to those waiting.
@byadg123 let’s try and be optimistic. Probably no merit scholarships but financial aid of some kind could still be provided. I have two friends who got in at UMiami (one for spring, the other was waitlisted and then got in), they still received financial aid, just no scholarship money for grades. While we are talking about Syracuse and not Miami, I’m sure this may hold true for us who are waitlisted
@Hallegugsa got waitlisted for the college of arts & sciences psychology program
@kelindkvist Keep in mind, though, that financial aid of loans really isn’t a bonus. You may end up paying that 70,000/yr but for years to come. Syracuse specifically called it a financial award for us, but subsidized and unsubsidized loans plus a little work study (nothing more) wasn’t an “award,” imho. My bank will “award” us a loan as well, albeit at a higher interest rate.
As a language person, I’m always analyzing how we are manipulated by words… .
I don’t mean to suggest that you won’t get any aid, just merit aid. I’ll be very surprised if they dole out anything to their 3rd choice applicants. For your sake, I hope I’m wrong.
Did anyone hear anything today
I am legit freaking out
I still have not heard a decision yet
We heard yesterday
Anyone know when financial aid comes out?
We got our FA yesterday (Friday). It was bad. Can’t afford for D to attend. Sad day.
I’ve got a buddy who applied to SU this year. He just got notified on Friday the 30th, so I’m assuming everyone will hear back in the next two weeks or so.
Anyone who is currently waitlisted: please add your name/comments to the Syracuse Waitlist thread:

My daughter just got onto the portal and declined her acceptance offer and $10,000 merit scholarship. Hope that frees up a spot for someone on the waitlist. BFA visual arts. She will be attending Tyler School of art in Philadelphia. Best of luck to all of you.
I still have not heard back… anyone in the same boat as me?
Me!!! Getting worried…
Me too, has anyone heard anything today???
check your spam folder or junk folder
does anyone have any idea when the first wave of acceptances off the waitlist will be?
I just spoke to one of the admissions staff members this morning, they said that they will be releasing their final round of decisions in the next couple days. she told me that if by the end of the week I still have not received a decision, then contact them about the issue. good luck to everyone. i’ll be waiting anxiously until then…
