Here is a new thread for those applying to Syracuse as transfers for 2018.
Hi! I haven’t even sent my application yet since my professor is still working on a letter of recommendation but I figure I should continue the thread. I’ve got a 3.4 GPA and plenty of extracurriculars (hope its enough)! Applying to the Psychology program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Currently go to SUNY ESF (the affiliated institution next to SU).
@ritzrabbit Will you be applying as a sophomore? I will be, and also to CAS for biology! It’s my dream
I will be applying as a second semester sophomore for Spring 2018. I wish you the best in getting into CAS! Do you know what GPA is needed to get in?
@ritzrabbit I was told that as long as you have a 3.0 or higher you should be fine, so hopefully that’s true
i got my letter of acceptance from Syracuse a few days ago for spring 2018 transfer on the first wave. 2.3 GPA. also got accepted to 4 other colleges. my grades suffer because i spent my college years working on my business. i’m able to fully pay for my tuition without help from anyone. no loans or anything.
@itrustinHim congrats omg! 2.3 college GPA?? and are you transferring as a sophomore?? which college did you get into at cuse?
I didnt know cuse was sending out the first wave already
yes. Sophomore. i just got into College of Arts and Sciences. i honestly think being full pay really helps…Maybe not so much at Syracuse, but definitely at other colleges. I have Faith that everyone on this thread will get in as well. Best of luck to everyone and God bless.
@itrustinHim what was your GPA in high school though?
2.5 high school GPA. My essay is really strong though. I talked mainly about all my business ventures and my future business goals.
okay, thank you so, so much and congrats again! @itrustinHim
@itrustinHim Congrats! When did you send in your application? Also, did you get your aid yet?
i sent my application early october. i’m not getting aid. i’m 100% full pay. not relying on my parent’s or loans.
@itrustinHim I’m not doing aid/loans either, so hopefully that helps
Okay, thanks for the info! Ill be updating on my admissions and aid status. Fingers crossed!
please do! I hope all goes well!
Hey guys! I was admitted today at like 4:30 into CAS for psychology, so the program I wanted!
@ritzrabbit ah!! Congratulations!!! What was your GPA and what year did you transfer in as again?? That’s awesome, im really happy for you!
My GPA was a 3.4 so I think that as long as you have around a 3.0 and have strong essay/ supplements, you will be accepted! I applied for my second semester sophomore year. Thank you! I did not expect to hear back so early! I applied on the 15th.
