“I was rejected applying as a HS seniorMay 10 2009Unknown
I was rejected applying as a HS senior. Matter fact, nobody from my graduating class was admitted into Syracuse. (And we're talking about 9 applicants including myself) It was my dream school but since everyone that applied from my school did not get in I didn't feel as bad. I instead went to a community college and worked my butte off at that community college. I was determined to give it a second try. I maintained a really high GPA, did alot of community service and applied again. I was given the chance this time to attend. Looking back at it, I realize that I personally did not have the SAT score to gain admission. I strongly recommend pulling the best grades possible and getting your SAT score as high as possible.

“Show passion in somethingMay 04 2009Journalism
Show passion in something. Syracuse values students who are passionate about something--be it art, journalism, music, theatre, math or changing the world. Be passionate about something and make sure it shines through in your EC. Your grades should be solid also. Everything else should come into play. Good luck. You're not the only one trying to get a spot. It's you and thousands of others. Keep that in mind.

“The formula is simple:: solidApr 30 2009Journalism
The formula is simple:: solid grades, solid SAT scores, solid recommendation, solid essay, solid extra-curriculars = your foot in the door. Lacking one of these things wouldn't make you an auot rejection but just make sure every other quality stands out.

Do you want to be heavily involved and make a difference in the world? You can. Syracuse is perfect for that. Do you want to get in and out with minimal fuss? You can. Greek? Sure. Independent? Sure. Pre-law/med/business? Yes. Why not? All it takes is hard work, motivation, and passion (the same usual cliche characteristics) to become a part of this vibrant academic community.
