<p>@DesiCollegeGirl - Thanks so much! It’s a confidence booster :slight_smile: Do I have chances at getting good merit aid? Are my stats good for a scholarship?</p>

<p>At syracuse? If you need aid, it’s a crap shoot. If you can pay your way through, you’re in IMO.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies everyone! Shame about the Aid though. I was hoping my stats would lend to good chances at some scholarship.</p>
