<p>Overall, it’s not the end of the world… If I end up going, I’ll need to prove the doubters wrong and work hard and eventually transfer into Newhouse!</p>
<p>At least you got into a university as wonderful as Syracuse 
I’m so happy that I’ll be able to live and study there.</p>
<p>me too! ahhh so happy</p>
<p>Has anyone heard from the School of Education? Does anyone know from last year - if you didn’t hear during the first wave of acceptances if the second wave had acceptances. Also - any rejections so far?</p>
<p>Exactly Morgan… If we do end up going there, let’s be sure to stay in contact! As for everyone else, stay patient; you will eventually be rewarded for your great efforts!</p>
<p>MiselisM… You have a wonderful attitude. You will do well no matter where you go. If you decide to attend SU, I hope you wind up at newhouse as a sophomore!</p>
<p>Hey, when do you think we will get a financial aid package?</p>
<p>We still have yet to file the FAFSA, so I think it will be a while.</p>
<p>True. When’s fafsa due?</p>
<p>Tip - File FAFSA even if you have no chance for need based aid. No merit aid considered unless FAFSA is filed.</p>
<p>^^is that something new? My D is a Newhouse senior with a merit scholarship; we never filed FAFSA or anything else for that matter…</p>
<p>Thanks for updating if so…need to know for others.,</p>
<p>Morgan, I think the deadlines vary from college to college, but the consensus is that you file it as soon as possible. You can start filing January 1, 2012.</p>
<p>Accepted to Newhouse for TV/Radio/Film…</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we’ll find out about need-based and merit Financial Aid? Also, does Syracuse give decent aid for ED applicants?</p>
<p>XCoaster, what were your stats?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not really comfortable posting them, but I guess it doesn’t really matter now.</p>

<hr>
<p>I think it’s fair that I explain just why I’m not really comfortable with the posting of statistics, as I am well aware of my hypocrisy. Maybe it’s just me, but I have always had a problem with comparing myself to others. Upon discovering this site a couple years ago, my state of mind went into hysterics. Just seeing everybody posting discouraged me, and I guess you could say it was a catalyst to my desire to allocate more into my schedule. I confess to posting a “chance” thread for all 15 colleges on my list, and the majority of the responses were all “high reach” and only a match to my local state school. I really don’t consider myself an extraordinary student, mainly because some factors are better than others, and I guess this site gave me the mentality that there is a structured formula in the admissions process. I bet you can tell that over time it looks like I went overboard, but I guess that’s truly what makes admissions competitive for everybody. </p>
<p>As askew as it looks, my point is that there truly is no reasonable way of knowing if you’re in or not, even if you have comparable statistics. I don’t know why I was accepted. I don’t even know how I was able to do a lot of things, but I’m just thankful that I have been able to. Personally, my advice to all of you waiting to find out is to not sweat it and to not stress out. If you’re in, you’re in; if you’re not in, you’re not. Honestly, stats don’t really help the situation at all, because you did your best in school and comparing yourself to others really doesn’t benefit you either. I mean, I was pretty astonished at my acceptance considering my SAT is in the bottom 25% of the department, but that’s only one part of the big picture. </p>
<p>I’m probably reading into this too much (I do that sometimes), but my message to all the RD applicants is to just put forth your best effort into the application if you haven’t finished yet. I probably made a fool out of myself by venting, but this is just my personal advice to all of you. I’m sorry for having been such a pessimist and a cynic earlier in the thread. I’m not advocating anybody to not post their stats, I’m only explaining why I don’t think it’s beneficial to. If you want to, then by all means, go for it.</p>
<p>Sorry, thanks, and good luck.</p>
<p>i dont know who just mentioned not hearing back from the college of education…but i havent either just to let you know so maybe they send by school since most of newhouse/arts and sciences found out friday architecture found out saturday?? idk i really hope they didnt send all of the acceptences first and then all of the rejections next or like someone mentioned only send an email if accepted.</p>

<p>Thanks for updating if so…need to know for others., "</p>
<p>Consider my statement in error. I must have had that mixed up with another school. Sorry! Searching syr.edu I found:</p>
<p>[Syracuse</a> University Scholarships](<a href=“http://www.syr.edu/financialaid/scholarships/su_scholarships_list/academic_merit.html]Syracuse”>http://www.syr.edu/financialaid/scholarships/su_scholarships_list/academic_merit.html)
Last paragraph - "…To be considered for an academic scholarship or to have it renewed, students do not have to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), CSS/PROFILE, or any other application.
