@iredmac Hey there, I am Hispanic as well and I did Early Decision II for Syracuse. It was a tough decision to choose Syracuse as my first choice, but I think I made the right choice. I considered seven other private universities (Duke, Miami, Northwestern, Rice, Tulane, Wake Forest, & Vanderbilt) as well.

Also, I have to say, I’m glad that I ran into another Hispanic on CC who applied to Syracuse ED. I mean really, it’s 11% Hispanic at SU and what are the odds? Lol, if you want to know more of each other — message me. Honestly, this is so comforting! I’m not trying to be discriminative, but I thought it would be stressful AT FIRST at SU since it’s mostly Whites.

Anyway, I think your chances are similar to mine (on Parchment, it said 57%) because I’m in a position where my SAT /GPA isn’t that strong but everything else is very amazing. However, I think you will get in. Syracuse did a convention of “inclusion to increase diversity” or something like that, and SU basically wants to create a very diverse college over the next few years/decades. It’s in New York too, and coming from California I had to look for a location that was accepting of others and is full of liberals (yeah yeah some conservatives but at least it’s not like Duke and Vanderbilt with their respective location).

I seriously hope I get in.
