<p>jets: we need to communicate by PM; I have some advice for you…</p>
<p>Please send me a message; leaving work right now but I will respond later tonight…</p>
<p>Jets- This sounds like a terrible injustice. You need to have the head of guidance call your schools immediately.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your support. The guidance department in my school is a load of poop. They have two left feet, and wont do anything for their students. (unless you are a trouble maker, then they bend over backwards for you) I got in to UMD-CP journalism school out of state, and the journalism school has is a limited enrollment program, so i’m really just trying figure this out. I’m gonna call tomorrow. Everything happens for a reason. : )</p>
<p>wow just kidding. rejected. THANKS FOR THE WAIT.</p>
<p>@rodney hey im in the same situation as Jets and ive wanted to go to cuse since i was 3 (my dad went there) i dont know what PM is but if theres any advice i would love to have it too thanks!</p>
<p>@tinydancer24 I’m really sorry to hear that. I know what your going through. : (
@4cuse16 pm= private message.</p>
<p>Maryland is a great choice for communication. And you won’t have to suffer through long dreary winters!! I’m glad you have some options.</p>
<p>Jets,so sorry. You deserve better. My D still hasnt heard. She is also a great kid and very interested in Communications. My dad graduated from Syracuse Communications back in the day. He spent 27 years working for CBS. I though that it was so cool that she would want to honor his memory and attend Syracuse. Cool for your kid to follow footsteps of your family (i am not in that field). It really is sad to me that Syracuse wouldnt even answer us. I called today and the admission dept switchboard was overwhelmed. The counselor who i left a message for didnt return my call. There has been no word from the school and I dont understand this. My daughter has an excellent record including 8 APs, 2060 on SATs and 2 independent studies (The HS drama club is performing the original play that my D wrote and directed). She is a natural for the communication field.</p>
<p>Every time you all are describing your experiences with SU, I get more and more turned off. JetsNYNJ, lets go to UMD, it’s a great school anyway, SU has shown to us they don’t need us…</p>
<p>Jets, I tried to pm you twice, to respond to your message, but It doesn’t show that I have sent it, so will you let me know it got through? Thanks!</p>
<p>After all this waiting…waitlisted to cas. Don’t really care, I’m so done with Syracuse and their shoddy unprofessional treatment of their applicants. I have a 16 yo brother coming up to this process soon, and I will never allow him to apply to this school!!!</p>
<p>any word GWDAD? I visited umd-cp over the weekend and really loved it. I still just dont understand how i get in there but not cuse… oh well good luck to everyone. Maybe I will get off the waitlist, or transfer here next year.</p>
<p>Jets, so glad that you liked Maryland. Go Terps! Make sure that you make your way into DC! My older D loves it. If you see a cute girl, say hi to her from me because it is my D ! Unfortunately, my younger D was denied to Newhouse and waitlisted at CAS (makes no sense with SATs 2060). I wanted her to get into Newhouse but honestly my wife and I were very disappointed at the way my D’s applicataion was handled and the entire process. We soured on Syracuse due to their poor handling the admissions process. What was really worse was that she was not the only one as evidenced by your postings and those of Navna, Beniben, and others. I totally understand the numbers game but Syracuse has to handle this process better in the future. We are visiting Drexel next week but we are holding out hope that in the end, our D will decide to also become a Colonial and enroll at GW. Best of luck and much happiness to all of you who posted especially J-E-T-S. Go PATs!</p>
<p>What I don’t understand is that some got waitlisted at all their choices, and my S just got waitlisted at Newhouse, with no mention of his 2nd or 3rd choice. We tried to contact an admission counselor via email but so far no response. I think his guidance counselor may call but at this point, we have sent the deposit to UConn. Good luck to all and may I add that everything does work out for the best, in most cases.</p>
<p>I was rejected from Newhouse and waitlisted at CAS with a 3.6 GPA, a 1980 SAT and a 29 ACT. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m not trying to sound arrogant, but I was accepted to schools such as Muhlenberg, Franklin & Marshall, and Rochester. To get waitlisted at a school like Syracuse is pretty shocking to me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way after getting back that decision.</p>
<p>I am so sorry for all of you that were either rejected or wait-listed at Syracuse. It does that Syracuse took this long to get back to many of you and rejected or wait-listed many of you with great grades and amazing SAT scores. I hope that you guys are happy and successful with whatever college choices you make :-)</p>
<p>Believe me, once I heard back from Muhlenberg I crossed Syracuse off my list. I’ll be very happily attending Rochester in the fall 
It’s just a really odd feeling to get waitlisted from your safety school, you know? And from what I understand, Syracuse waitlisted many students this year whom they believed were overqualified and therefore wouldn’t attend, anyway (you know, to improve their % accepted to % attending ratio). But if every school decided to do that, what would be the point of having a safety school to be able to fall back on?</p>
<p>You sound bitter izzys123 and you have no evidence as to why they admitted, waitlisted, and rejected the people they did. You should probably stick to the Rochester board since you’re going there and leave Syracuse alone. Sour grapes makes you look petty.</p>
<p>what this actually sounds like is that Newhouse may have filled up in ED (or close to it)…I do know very high stats kids who were accepted RD but they are few and far between this year; and a number of them applied to the joint programs with both Whitman and A&S…</p>
<p>No excuse, though, for it to have taken this long…like UMich (who, by the way, hasn’t finished releasing decisions yet), Syracuse really dropped the ball this year…</p>
<p>Will be very interested to see yield numbers when they are released; sounds like alot of CAS waitlists also, at least from this board…</p>
<p>*I had already enrolled myself in syracuse… when I read a really disturbing article. It went indepth about syracuse’s recent drop in ranking and the school administrations reaction to it, which caused me to want to reconsider. So I want to ask people here on CC for their opinion of Syracuse (ranking #55), Pepperdine (#53 but it’s in malibu!), and University of Miami (#45). I want to major in public relations and marketing, which is in the communication/business sector. For syracuse I got into info studies, but I’m pretty sure I will be able to transfer into newhouse next year…for miami and pepperdine I got into their communication schools… although for pepperdine I’m doing rhetorics and leadership major, while U of miami I’m doing communication studies, but they both seems to have a pretty simple procedure for changing major once I’m there. </p>
<p>oh and the article about syracuse had to do with it making all the rich students pay full and giving tons of scholarship out to poor students who aren’t that ready for college, in order to achieve economic as well as cultural diversity in the university, which dragged down the ranking because a lot of those scholarship students aren’t as capable (27% latino got accepted this year!!) I don’t have anything against them… but I feel it is highly unfair to students paying full that people with possible lower grades are getting full rides or substantial scholarship money. And those same people are pulling the school’s ranking down for those who payed full! I’ gladly pay the full tuition and much more if I knew the money was going to my education but…>< *</p>
<p>This was posted on another site here at Syracuse post. I was very upset with this kind of post. This post sounded so racist, we are from a latino community. I am a working mother of 2 with 1 going to Syracuse and because of their generosity, she can study what she wants, where she wants. She does not have “lower” grades actually she is on the top 3% of her class. It is not a free ride, but because of Syracuse’ help, she will fulfill her dreams.</p>
<p>Like I said, I am a divorced mother of 2, she is going to college, the other is an autistic young man who will depend on me all of his life. I don’t receive any help from the government nor even child support, so I am doing this on my own. If she has this opportunity that Syracuse is giving her, why not take it. Syracuse don’t need people like these. Yes, they are creating diversity in the University, and I applaud it. They don’t need these kind of people damaging the schools. </p>
<p>I am really upset, and I only wish my daughter won’t have to deal with these people. And if she does, I know I have given her the tools to do. </p>
<p>Good luck to all that has been accepted. Sorry for those who are not good luck elsewhere. And for the bitter ones, go to another school then, stop trying to “trash” the University, they are the ones deciding whom they let in.</p>
