[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Syracuse is a great school with many, many passionate alums. I bet they figure this out and come out of this stronger. It’s a sweet spot school in terms of size with strong academics, strong school spirit and a beautiful campus. Agree they need to do something about tuition.  [/quote]

Syracuse's average SAT scores are tanking.  In fact, I'm not even sure if Syracuse bothered to publish a common data set for 2024.  Low SAT, low student selectivy, high price.

Syracuse is in trouble.[/quote]

We toured on accepted students day. I really liked it and I think Syracuse has a lot to offer. DC liked a lot of things about it, but could not get beyond the fact that "everyone" DC knows who goes and/or is going there is, in DC's words, "not the greatest student." Ironic, as DC has not been the greatest student either in high school but, thanks to the flukes of yield this year, ended up getting off of multiple wait lists that I would have thought extreme long shots just a couple of years ago.

Agree that Syracuse needs to make some image changes in the coming years. They either need to purposely shrink in size and get more selective, add unique majors or figure out another aggressive way to respond to this trend. Being in Syracuse, unfortunately, is a negative with the weather. But a strong partnership with the city could help overcome that, as the city itself is not bad at all and would appeal to a lot of kids who like a mini-urban environment. Sort of like Tulane and New Orleans.
