[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do a search in this forum, Syracuse is mentioned often.

I replied in a post about spring break visits and said:
We did Syracuse over Spring Break. We are FCPS and there was a Loudoun family and two from MCPS in our tour group for the general admin session! We were there on Tuesday of Spring Break and it had snowed 6in the previous Saturday so snow piled up still. By the end of touring Tuesday though it was almost all gone and our coats were off. Students seem to appreciate the good weather days even more.

We really loved the school -- it seems like a place that if you know exactely what you want to study and it's not necessarily a cut and dry major, they will help you create a plan of study. OR if you don't know exactly what you want to do, they will help you creat a plan of study! It seemed that everyone was a double major (two majors from the same school at Cuse) OR a Dual Major (two majors from different schools within the University).

We did the general info session and tour of the campus, then a session with just the Business School (Whitman) and after lunch we went back for a info session with Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. High touch from admins and faculty and met great students. Really enjoyed the experience -- I guess when you are paying $85k or whatever, at least you do seem to get what you pay for??

Now, two months after our visit and it still has left a good impression on our kid. Score-wise I guess it might be more of a target/likely for them (1510 super score SAT, uw 4.0 with full IB diploma classes, varsity athlete, and good ECs)  but it is stil high on the list of places they could see themselves. We are in NOVA and they don't want to look at JMU. [/quote]

With those stats, you will likely be offered a Presidential Scholarship which is 50% off tuition. My DD was and her stats were lower.[/quote]
