@prayingmom2001 Thanks! I was admitted to the Visual and Performing Arts School
I just got off the wait-list! It looks like they’re no longer admitting students for College of Arts and Sciences. I applied there for a major in Applied Mathematics and they called me saying they’ve run out of room but offered me a space in the College of Engineering and Computer Science with a major in Computer Science, which I accepted.
SAT: 1420 650 Reading, 770 Math
ACT: 33
GPA: 4.0
I took a total of 10 AP courses courses and tests. I was also Secretary for my school’s Key Club and an officer for Student Council.
Good luck, everyone!
Did they say they ran out of room in the College of Arts and Sciences or specifically for the Applied Mathematics major? I’m on the WL for CAS that’s why I ask. @Apecprime
I’m not sure, but they offered me a place in an entirely different school instead of a different major, so I would assume that CAS is full.
I got off the waitlist today around 3:30! I applied for Newhouse as my #1 but was waitlisted to my #2 (Arts and Sciences Undecided) I was offered a spot in COMMUNICATION AND RHETORICAL STUDIES which is in the school of visual and performing arts so I assume CAS is full as well.
How long after getting off the waitlist did it take for you to receive your financial aid package? Was it generous?
It should be a few days to weeks, but you have to make sure you completed everything in the To Do list of your financial aid section of your MySlice page. I havent recieved my FA letter yet because of this, but they did offer me an annual $25,000 scholarship in my acceptance letter which was apparently considered merit, not FA when I called them, which is awesome. Also, their FA department apparently offers the same FA packages for students taken off the waitlist compared to those who were accepted EA and RD, so I wouldn’t be too worried about your potential rewards.
Are they still releasing waitlist decisions?
They said that all the news would be delivered by June 1st so I hope so!
June 1st is this Saturday… also, it seems like they either have no spots for anyone on the waitlist or there admissions process has just been really slow.
If last year is any indication, anything coming out now will probably just be a rejection letter …
Hi, I’m in a very bad dilema right now, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was accepted off the waitlist on May 13th, and I had 10 days from then t accept my spot, by my FA was taking forever to process. Long story short, I called admissions to let them know I still hadnt received my financial aid by that 10 days, and they said that they would gladly note that I was still interested and not withdraw my acceptance off the waitlist. I finally received my FA award on thursday, and on friday I had a chance to talk to my family about money and how much it would cost and I made my decision, however when I went onto MySlice to accept my spot, the Admission Acceptance Form was gone, and now I have no idea what to do. It was after 4:30 so I couldnt call them, and now its the weekend so I have to wait till monday, but the thing is I have to cancel my housing application for the school I put my deposit down at by June 1st, today, otherwise I have to pay the full housing fee for the Fall semester, and that is just not something that my family can afford. If anybody could offer advice or just anything at all it would be greatly appreciated as I really want to go to syracuse, its my dream school.
Thank you!
Sorry, this is a bit late. I was in the same dilemma. Financial aid was taking forever then it finally came through Friday afternoon and I accepted my spot right when I got home around 4. However, I was in contact with admissions because I did not think it would come in time and they said that they can extend the deadline to Tuesday (June 4) and they were extending many peoples deadlines because of fin aid. I would have pulled my spot at the other university. I hope everything worked out!
