Hi ilove2read. If you’re very sure that you want to go to Syracuse then you should apply. If you can interview with them that would help. I don’t think you’re a long shot for them, especially for the school of arts and science. You usually stand a better chance of getting in if you apply early decision. Make sure you can afford the school by running through the net price calculator. You seem like a hardworking student. Your grades may not be spectacular, but with the strength of the rest of your resume and an interview, I feel that you can get in. I’m not a counselor but have many friends who’ve gone to Syracuse.

prestige? syracuse? no reason you won’t get in unless you’re poor. they want higher achieving poor folks. if your family is able to pay 40 to 50k after the “scholarship” they offer, you’re good.

chemistry is a very hard major and given your struggles with HS doubt you’ll graduate.
