Syracuse Admissions Information
Syracuse University
Syracuse, NY (
map)
Few schools, particularly in the Northeast, have bridged the gap between academic excellence and athletic achievement as well as Syracuse University. One would be just as likely to find SU students library-bound Monday through Friday, as he or she would be to find them passionately cheering on the Syracuse Orange come the weekend. Otto the Orange, the school’s mascot, perfectly encompasses the loyalty which fans display on the basketball court and beyond.
Aside from Orange Pride, Syracuse offers its students a wide array of extracurricular opportunities. Greek life thrives at the school; nearly twenty percent of students participate in fraternities and sororities–although only upperclassmen may live in Greek housing, as freshmen and sophomores must live on campus. Syracuse’s satellite campus in Florence, Italy is an attractive option for students with an eye toward study abroad options. For those staying at the school’s home campus, SU’s 100+ annual inches of snowfall makes for plenty of winter activities, from sledding for the less coordinated, to skiing and snowboarding for the more seasoned.

Admissions Information
Admissions at Syracuse University speaks to the school's dual emphasis on prospective students' academic achievements and extracurricular backgrounds. Applicants to the school should use their application as a means of accentuating their unique qualities and experiences; the ideal applicant is a well-rounded student. As such, admissions officials at Syracuse indicate that a student's character, class rank, application essay, interview, recommendations, standardized test scores, high school record, and level of interest are the most important factors for admission.
While not as important, factors such as alumni relation, geographical residence, work and volunteer experience, and whether the applicant is a first-generation college student, are all considerations taken into account during the admissions process.
