Absolutely Absurd

CuriousHStudent, I was really surprised to read your comments that the SU staff were rude. My d is currently a sophmore and I cannot tell you how pleased and impressed I am with the courteousness of every SU staff I have encountered, from Admissions to Housing, Financial Aid, etc. It has made the experience so much better.

As far as being placed as an undeclared major, I will give you our experience. My daughter applied to Newhouse, but was accepted into the school of IT. IT certainly was not her choice. I must admit, it was rather concerning. When we visited the school for the Spring Reception, we learned that 2011 was their most competitive year ever regarding the amount of applications they received. So while they couldn’t accept every student into their desired school, they still wanted these students, hence why they accepted them into other schools.

Like toptobottom, I feel like we’ve hit the lottery at SU. As a single mom, words cannot express the gratitude I feel for the generosity that has been extended to my daughter so that she can pursue her education without the stress and burden of “how will we pay for it.”

I would like to suggest that if SU is your school of choice, don’t get discouraged. As greg99 stated, you can always transfer to your school of choice once you get there and maintain the GPA required for transfer.

Every school isn’t for everyone, but again, no complaints here. Best wishes to you during what can be a very stressful time.
