Mod 2025 Admissions Megathread

18 Upvotes

Hello r/SyracuseU! This came up earlier than I thought so I was not prepared (I'm also abroad in France right now so my timezone is different than SU, so it's causing a slight issue.)

The time has finally come for decisions to come out for the Class of 2029 (and Architecture 2030 (that's a real year now).) This is the thread for r/A2C's (Applying to College) Syracuse thread if you want to discuss it more there, but I'm also opening this up as an overall thread for discussion and see if people have questions about Syracuse, admissions, etc.

In terms of events, this link has a list of all the admitted student events, from coming to visit campus to virtual options.

In terms of rules, keep it civil. I know this is a stressful time.

Best of luck and Go Orange!

Mod Direct Twitter/X links autobanned from this sub

70 Upvotes

Seeing a 70% upvote rate and minimal comments against, I've gone ahead and banned direct Twitter/X links to this sub using an automod feature. To be clear, we rarely get this content to begin with, but we may as well cut it off now. Please default to screenshots instead and link to other sources. For those who are not familiar with the reason for this change, switch your Reddit feed over to 'All' and you'll immediately see the movement-- first, Twitter/X requires an account to view linked tweets, and second, this platform has shifted from one of open sharing to that of a mouthpiece for extremist political agendas and deliberate misinformation.

A note on moderation in general-- this sub has rules that limit/ remove content from most brand new accounts, posts that are particularly spammy, and/or language that is similar to specific troll posts we've had to deal with in the past. If you try to post something that does not get through the filters, please contact the mods directly. Please help us moderate this sub by using reporting features as and when needed.

As a final note-- since many SU students are not from this region, I'd like to use this opportunity and attention on political issues to highlight some history. Central New York has a pretty fascinating history in WWII efforts, including ramped up war production, a massive enlistment in arms forces, and both POW and refugee camps. Here's one quick Syracuse.com article about it: 1944: At the front or at home, the people of Syracuse did their duty on D-Day. Even our local pottery companies joined the effort to build ceramic mines. Syracuse also has a rich history in abolitionist and suffragist movements. If you haven't visited local and regional museums including the Onondaga Historical Association, the George & Rebecca Barnes home, the Harriet May Mills home, the Harriet Tubman Museum, the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum, the Octagon House, the Seward House Museum, the Susan B. Anthony House, or the Skä•noñh Center, I highly recommend branching out from campus and checking them out!

I just bought my season pass and the email receipt gave me a specific seat for both football and basketball. I assumed it would just be sit wherever in the section. What is it actually like?

Question Are microwaves worth it?

4 Upvotes

Incoming freshmen living in an open double in Shaw hall (third floor). We are both architecture majors and understand we will have some weird hours. That would generally be a good reason to get a microwave, however Shaw hall has a dining hall built in and to my knowledge has microwaves in the lounge of every floor. Is it worth it?

Question Can't change my schedule

0 Upvotes

I have a pretty bad schedule (Engineering). I have a class that is currently a 8am that i wanna change to a 9:30 due to that being a option. I emailed my success advisor about it and they said I couldn't change my fall semester schedule at all and that I would be able to change my spring semester which feels false since the slot for a 9:30 microeconomics class is still open and i just need to schedule a meeting with an advisor to change that.

I scheduled with my advisor and the zoom link doesn't work and idk what to do or if im even contacting the right person

BTW i am a incoming freshman

Question Work Study Jobs

7 Upvotes

Hi! I've been applying to work-study jobs on Handshake for the past week and was wondering if anyone has heard anything back from the jobs they've applied to? Or what does the process look like? I applied to the few that was offered as soon as I got my class schedule which was last week sometime.

Notifications for updates in MySlice?

1 Upvotes

Anyone know if notifications can be set up in MySlice whenever certain new updates appear there? For ex, fall schedule is there when I check today, but I never received an email telling me my schedule was posted. No idea when it appeared which is annoying. I couldn't find notification settings on a cursory look.

Claude AI Enterprise

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I saw I get access to Claude enterprise for the school year starting Aug. 17 with my SYR email. I searched online and it says it may have limitations based off your university. Can anyone tell me how good it is and some of the features Syracuse allows? They won't let me login and check yet. My current free plan expires after what feels like 5 messages.

Question Help with Looking for Research Opportunities

0 Upvotes

I’m a rising sophomore BME major and I need a job on campus mainly bc I’m broke.

I have been looking on handshake for regular jobs like Starbucks and other stuff on campus. And I might not be able to get them bc my GPA is poor (I’m on probation and it’s been an eye opener so this is my year to lock tf in).

I’ve always wanted a research position at school but I never see any postings for it on handshake (I check there bc SOURCE says they post openings on there) and I’ve also chatted w a professor in the spring semester about getting into his lab but he said he’s lacking funding.

Needless to say ik they r hard to get bc everyone wants one and my GPA is buns so i was looking at pretty unconventional places like Upstate Medical. I saw that they had MANY research opportunities for undergrad but only for their undergrad.

Therefore my question is r there any Syracuse students that have a research position at Upstate Medical? How’s it like and how did you get it? But also for those that were also in my position how did u find a position inside or outside of school?

Sorry for this long winded post and all help is appreciated!

Looking for roommate!

4 Upvotes

This is my first time using Reddit but this is honestly one of my only options lol.

My roommate just transferred and I need a new one, I’m a female music major at Syracuse university, a rising sophomore, and I’m really just looking for someone chill so I’m not assigned with someone completely random. I know this is very vague, but please reach out if you know someone in need of a roommate. I have a really good split double in Ernie Davis btw and am hoping to stay there if possible!

Mod Mods Needed!

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Hope your summer is going well. I used to be our one student mod, but I graduated in May, so I'm an alum! To simplify, we do not currently have any students on our moderation team, so we're looking for some! It's a very easy mod role in practicality, but just to have someone more in the know as a current student available is much appreciated. If you're interested, ModMail us, and we can figure it out (no mod experience required at all.)
