<p>Everybody (Acceptances, Rejections, and Wait Lists) hear back in random waves every Friday until the 29th.</p>
<p>I’ll respond to that first post of yours in a bit.</p>
<p>^ actually I just found out today from snail mail, it isn’t on myRoc</p>
<p>caxy93, there is nothing on MySlice?</p>
<p>Oh awkward, I mixed up my threads. that was supposed to be on university of rochester, and i posted the one that was supposed to be on here on that thread instead. sorry everyone!</p>
<p>@OrangeWhite22, this is in response to</p>
<p>“It is very subjective (hollistic) at Syracuse which is why it is unique as opposed to many other schools that rely on objective stats. Both means to an end .both have their positives (for example Students busting their tails for 4 years in H.S ) and others ,relying on citizenship or EA’s with ave marks.”</p>
<p>There is ALWAYS more to student than GPA and test scores, and I for one am glad Syracuse realize that. Some students “bust their tails for four years” but are unable to keep up with the rest of their peers, for whatever their reason may be. Just because somebody doesn’t have a 3.95 and a 2200 shows absolutely no indiciation that the student will not take something away from college, and benefit from their higher education.</p>
<p>I’d like to point you in the direction of a program who my Dad has been working with recently called Posse. This program accepts nominations of students who do not have the right scores that top universities (top = within 100 ranks on USNWR) i.e. Vanderbilt, Cornell, Vassar, and even Syracuse are looking for, but show some leadership potential required to succeed, and sends them to these top universities on a scholarship. It’s quite safe to say that those who end up graduating from the program have the potential to be more successful than those students with 4.0’s and high SAT scores that get accepted to and attend the higher ranked universities. To see what these people have accomplished, I highly recommend checking out the [Posse</a> Foundation Alumni Page](<a href=“http://www.possefoundation.org/our-alumni]Posse”>http://www.possefoundation.org/our-alumni). This just goes to show that GPA and test scores aren’t everything.</p>
<p>Even more than that, at a school like Syracuse who have such a large student body, the staff would like to have a certain level of diversity within the student body, because they get plenty of dean’s list level students, not all of whom will be active participants in campus activities that promote the liveliness of the school. While it’s natural for a college to pride themselves on having select students capable of maintaining a high GPA during their enrollment, it’s also important to have students who will be at the front of the college’s events, and those with high GPAs will not always be those students, it is quite common for the students with “ave marks” to be the stronger leaders within the school.</p>
<p>I hope you understand where I’m coming from, as I believe that hollistic admissions is the best way of evaluating an applicant for various reasons outlined above.</p>
<p>@sky Excellent points made about the unique nature of SU. Much appreciated. That’s what makes it a special place.</p>
<p>@Skyzord I thought that was in fact the point I made maybe it sounded as though I was separating the two.If I did …my error and your points are absolutely correct. I guess I may have mixed up the signals so now I’m calling an audible ha ha</p>
<p>Yes but when GPAs are lows well as test points and no extra currics and lousy essays how do you justify some of the applicants having 'Leadership qualities if there is no sound foundation ? this doesn’t bode well for future citizens unless you allow all to flourish. Thankfully we have awesome service academies whose definition of leadership is objective and not subjective. On twitter alone,I have noticed that some admitted to Syracuse use the foulest of language in celebration of their fortune.Some if not all the language they use has a lot of bad words that the general population would regard as disturbing.what do you think?</p>
<p>@OrangeWhite22, check out the website I linked to, it’s rather interesting, and will explain the program much better than I am capable of doing.</p>
<p>As for the Twitter bit, I’m not quite sure what you were expecting to find on there.</p>
<p>Ha ha I guess twitter isn,t really up to snuff .Found website for Posse scanned it quickly really impressive thanx for the tip</p>
<p>@Skyzord, I’m a Syracuse Posse Scholar! @OrangeWhite it’s a truly amazing program.</p>

<p>Quick question: Has anyone been accepted with a low GPA? I’m talking in the 2-3 range.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Not us but I know of some folk who did but it was between 3 and 4 with no creds (or very little) and no AP or honors classes so keep the faith</p>
