Syracuse Class of 2025 — Regular Decision

I have been very disappointed in the responses from SU for both FA and admissions. We finally received my child’s FA package on the 28th and received zero aid (we are in a middle tax bracket, with no assets and special medical circumstances). We appealed and did receive a tiny bit on the 30th, but then requested an extension on the commitment date from admissions so that we can go over all of our options as SU is my child’s first choice…we also have sent emails to the financial aid counselor and received nothing back. My child received an email saying his financial package was complete, so no he would not be given an extension. I know from others that a letter went out to some students saying if they did not receive their package by the 26th, their commitment deadline would be extended until the 15th and if they did ultimately choose SU, they would give a $1,000 credit. I am so disappointed that they can’t at least hide the favoritism so those kids who were accepted and did not receive special circumstances, don’t feel so devalued.
