It is good that Syracuse is offering EA this cycle. I can’t imagine how someone can commit ED to a school with a COA close to 100k. No wonder they were unable to fill their target last year. Talking about COA, does anyone know average merit aid that the university may offer, and how generous they are?
One can see average merit aid from section H of a school’s common data set. But really, average merit isn’t all that helpful.
Run Syracuse’s NPC to get an estimated COA based on your family’s financial picture.
