My S was just waitlisted as well and he thought Syracuse was a Safety school and he was looking forward to hopefully getting an offer and attending Syracuse in the Fall. In years past kids with his stats would have been in without any problems. The bar has been raised. Kids with very high stats are applying tiers down in order to get in with an affordable education as many will pursue degrees beyond the undergraduate level. My S has been waitlisted at NE, Nova, GW, Syracuse. Syracuse did come as a surprise. 1400 SAT, 10 AP’s, 31 ACT, EC’s, Leadership, Sports. His HS does not provide copies of their recommendations however his AP BIO teacher wrote an impressive recommendation letter which he was able to see. Several reportable AP scores. Applied 1st choice Whitman. No rhyme or reason. But is a FA kid with a low EFC.
Delaware 2021!
@mom2a99er I saw “we are pleased to” and I came here and posted accepted… Then looked deeper and saw the truth.
Kind of confused. Had scores and GPA well in the upper range for Syracuse (35 ACT)… Lots of ECs too. AND applied in early November! Got into more selective schools and with lots of merit from them.
Waitlisted from Newhouse… no idea what I’m going to do
i got waitlisted for the college of arts and sciences undecided. i applied to newhouse. i can’t stop crying i feel like im gonna throw up.
@ryguyee That’s the spirit!!! Onward!
“Based upon your academic achievement and personal characteristics, we are pleased to offer you a place on our admission waitlist for the College of Arts and Sciences, Undecided program. Although this is not your first choice, we believe this is an appropriate alternative.” it wasn’t my second or third choices either. assholes
Still haven’t heard back… don’t know if I should expect a waitlist or a rejection at this point
I’m so confused right now. I applied to Newhouse with TRF as my first choice and Journalism as my second choice and I’ve been waitlisted at Whitman as undecided. Can they just do that? Syracuse was my number one i’m so mad rn. Can they really just waitlist me for something I didn’t even apply for? And it’s not like i’m not qualified for Newhouse I don’t understand.
My idiot friend go in last wave. He probably got accepted because he is rich and doesn’t need financial aid. However, he already committed to another school.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG I HAVE HIGHER STATS THAN EVERYONE IN MY GRADE WHO GOT IN
I have a low EFC maybe this hurts
@genuisa1a which last wave?
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
What is an EFC?
Waitlisted to Bandier. Mixed feelings, they only take 25.
It means write your own course!!! Invictus
why the hell was I waitlisted for a college I didn’t even list as any of my choices. So if I got waitlisted to CAS when I applied to Newhouse and I get taken off the waitlist and offered a spot, I’ll be in the College of Arts and Sciences and not Newhouse? WHAT THE FUCK. I’m about to send an angry email
I suspect Syracuse has refused admissions to many high-stats applicants, such as yourselves, because they want to increase their yield…
So if today where the waitlist, can we expect rejections tomorrow???
