@sourmash yeah can you link us?
Didn’t someone literally just confirm yesterday that the decisions will be live on the 20th?
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/syracuse-university/1618013-syracuse-regular-decision-class-of-2018.html This was last year’s link for Class of 2018
wait so last year they released decisions randomly? didnt someone say all the decisions would be released at once this year?
they normally came in waves but that was the case last year and prior years maybe this year will be all at once just speculating but they did have an ED I and ED II this year so your guess is as good as mine .Good Luck !
My bad. Wrong forum. That date was meant for another college.
I also applied for discovery program, but still didnt get any notice. do u think i am hopeless?!〒_〒
No. No hope should be lost unless you receive a rejection. I have many qualified friends who applied to the program and have not heard back. Just wait, I have a hunch that decision will come this week ( I hope)
thanks! that made me feel sooo much better :x
hopefully this Friday!
Since we have all submitted our applications, I would like some feedback on my essay. It is beyond necessary to correct grammatically I simply want feedback on content. I would appreciate it so much, thanks. I chose the question of Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
The nurses gossiped and chatted about nothing in particular, a young man paced back and forth across the room, machines faintly beeped in the distance, but I perceived none of this. I was numb, shocked, and nervous. My grandfather laid in an operating room somewhere across the hospital and all I could do was sit there helplessly and wait. At the young age of thirteen, I witnessed my grandfather undergo quadruple heart bypass surgery. My grandfather was involved in my life from a very young age. He would always be there for me when I needed him. He was my rock. The one event, that has been the most influential in molding my life into what it is today, would be the story of my grandfather’s complicated heart surgery and the results that came after the procedure. His lifelong dream of moving back to his family ranch was crushed by the monumental surgery and the further deterioration of his health.
I decided to leave my friends and family and move to the ranch with him. At the ranch I took care of him, as well as myself, for three years. His poor health and frequent dialysis treatments prevented him from functioning independently. My typical responsibilities for the day ranged from preparing his breakfast to feeding the cattle to doing anything else that could ease the load that lay upon my grandfather.
Caring for my grandfather allowed me to become a more responsible person, as often I had to focus not only on schoolwork and myself, but also on the work that needed to be done around the house and helping my grandfather in every way possible. I grew more empathetic because I had experience dealing with great adversity. I also learned how to manage with stress; there were nights were I had to stay awake to continually check on my grandfather’s breathing and then get myself up and go to school the following morning. Some nights I was so exhausted from school that I would barely be able to function, yet I would put a smile on my face and help my grandfather and make sure that he was happy even when I myself wasn’t.
My grandfather’s ordeal changed my life and helped me become the person I am today because it taught me how to make it through the hard times. It taught me the value of relationships and the strength of love, and most importantly it taught me that I could change the world through the smallest of actions. Recently, I moved back to my grandfather’s ranch to care for him while his health continued to deteriorate. Although I have been through three high school changes and many sleepless nights, I do not regret caring for my grandfather. My sacrifices seem minute when compared to the opportunity to help my loved one and if given the opportunity I would not change anything.
On many occasions throughout this difficult ordeal I had thought about moving back to my hometown, but my deep love for my grandfather prevailed every time. Throughout the entire endeavor I stuck it out because of my deep love for him. He inspired me to persevere through every challenge and I’ll never forget the day he told me “Austin, you have such an amazing heart. Make something with your life and get into a good college and then you can really make this world a better place.”
who cares at this point? if you’re glad you cared for granda, then good for you. pretty corny otherwise. guess what. you can’t change the world through the smallest of actions, at least in a positive way there are million of high school do-gooders acting like they’re going to save the world (a more cynical evaluation would be that they’re building their resume for admission to elite colleges) to no effect. the sad thing is that we have all learned is that certain people can change the world with small actions, they’re called terrorists
Your GF sounds like a good person who made you very caring. Your essay is interesting to me, hope it is to admissions. Good luck.
just curious–does everybody have an admission acceptance form on their MySlice?
@evhd0613 I’ve seen that in my myslice for a long time, but when I’ve clicked on it, it said like unavailable at the moment
Does anyone know what time we’ll find out?
Its usually after their admission office closes. And I’ve heard it could be as early as tomorrow. So possible 5 ET tomorrow?
How come that we would find out after admission office closes? So confused…
That way all the people who get rejected won’t flood their office right before the weekend haha.
@evhd0613 does your acceptance say “not available” when you click on it?
@evhd0613 my daughter also has that on her MySlice but one of her friends does not. Not necessarily reading anything into that either way, it might mean something but it might not.
