I have about a 3.7 goal on the 4.0 scale. I’ve taken about 4-5 AP classes in high school as well as 1 honors class. I have multiple extra curriculars including sports, clubs, jobs, and community service. On the new SAT I have an overall score of 1170 out of 1600. On the ACT I scored a 25. My rank is 37 out of 120 kids give or take 5. What are my chances of getting accepted to Syracuse?
Only 21% of students with a GPA similar to yours were admitted. However, at Syracuse your test scores are closer to the students they accept. I think you have a better chance at Cuse than at Nova.
@GPELLE I am not a chancer but I think the 21% stats quoted above the breakdown is from 3.5-3.74 and is the % of enrolled students, not the % admitted of applicants. With only 45% in the segment above it that puts your GPA at the top of the range of 55% of enrolled students at Syracuse. @yonceonhismouth please correct me if I am wrong but that would certainly give you a much more appealing chance.
Also which college are you applying to? Newhouse is much more difficult than Arts and Sciences.
Does your school have Naviance?
I believe it’s admitted students, @Postmodern , but I could be wrong- I pulled that stat from the CDS, under the term" Freshman Admission"
OK @yonceonhismouth , but collegedata dot com which pulls from the CDS also has that same 21% number under “Grade Point Average of Enrolled Freshmen (4.0 scale)” . Could be just a coincidence.
I can’t find the formal CDS for Syracuse. Can you point me to it? Thanks in advance.
@Postmodern thank u for ur response! I was planning on applying to maxwell for poli sci and a minor in Italian.
You are welcome, @GPELLE. Syracuse was the perfect school for me many moons ago and I am sure it will be for you too if you choose it . In bocca al lupo!
