[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The student quality at Syracuse, for a private school, are extremely underwhelming as measured by their SAT scores.

Even with an incredibly low percentage of students submitting an SAT score (75%-80% of freshmen don't even submit a score) they still have a very pedestrian 25th percentile score of 1260.

Compared to other northeastern private schools- Cornell, NYU, BC, BU, NEU, Tufts, Villanova- it gets thoroughly outclassed.

And even among Syracuse's northeast public colleges like SUNY Albany, Binghampton, Buffalo, UConn, UMass, Penn State it doesn't even fare any better.

It isn't in that elite of private school band, nor is it terribly competitive with public flagship colleges.

So it finds itself as just one of very many halfway decent, but overpriced, private schools.  These are the ones that you see continue to slip.[/quote]

It definitely fills a niche for those who want sports, name recognition, & adequate academics, but didn’t kill it in high school. ][b]Sorta like Villanova, Conn, Pitt.[/b] [/quote]

Villanova is tough these days. Much harder to get an offer of admission to Villanova than to Syracuse. [/quote]
