[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specialized programs like Newhouse are excellent. General program is like an overpriced average state school. Lots of rich kids from Long Island named Jared who are pretty bright but didn’t try that hard. Kind of a poor man’s Tulane.[/quote]

Syracuse is what BU was in the early 2000s... decent name recognition, strong specialized schools, but kids can actually get into the school without having top grades or standardized test scores.[/quote]

A couple of posters are comparing Syracuse to BU.

Uh, no.

Location aside, BU is clearly in another tier in terms of ranking, academics,  acceptance rate, etc.

Syracuse,  while a solid school,  isn't even in the Stony Brook SUNY range.[/quote]

Nope. Syracuse and BU are incredibly similar (other than location). Syracuse has a few specialized programs (Newhouse, sports analytics, Maxwell) that BU can't match. For general students BU might be slightly better - unclear.

As regards Syracuse vs. publics, top SUNY schools might have better stats. But if you have the money to pay for Syracuse, there are benefits to going private that help bridge that gap. It is a different type of kid. Which has its pros and cons.[/quote]

Sports analytics? 🤣

Ok.[/quote]

Uh, yeah, it's got an extremely well-regarding sports analytics program. Sorry that discipline is a joke to you, but I have a friend's kid who went to Syracuse, after being accepted at schools including UVA, got a degree in sports analytics, and is has his dream job for a MLB team. [/quote]
