As a faculty member at SU, I can say as a general rule, at the undergrad level, both JHU and Princeton are more difficult to get into academically. Both JHU and Princeton have much smaller incoming classes and more legacy applicants limiting the number of open seats, so they can be and subsequently are more selective. Having said this, certain programs at SU are equally or are more selective, for example programs in Architecture, Maxwell and Newhouse are very difficult to get into. At the Grad level all bets are off. Many of our grad programs are highly rated and very difficult to get into.I'll ask this question to all. Apparently, there were some commits to flip from SU for academic reasons - Kilrain to Hopkins, Friedman to Princeton.
Are SU academic standards higher than Johns Hopkins and Princeton ?
This may be true, but schools like Princeton and JHU meet full financial aid. Meaning, if a family qualifies, tuition is fully covered. Syracuse is $80k+. If a family doesnt meet financial aid, and have to pay a big bill, a name like Princeton or Hopkins on a degree often makes people feel better about paying that kinda loot.As a faculty member at SU, I can say as a general rule, at the undergrad level, both JHU and Princeton are more difficult to get into academically.

Having colaborated with faculty at dozens of universities, I can say that the faculty at SU are as good or better. So while some other universities may be more selective it doesn't necessarily mean a better education. Be careful to not sell SU short, we offer a quality education and work really hard to help students get great jobs after graduation
Thomson flipped from MichiganThanks trying to piece this together. So where were Thomson & Figueiras committed before the flip to SU ?
I feel as though you ask questions that you already know the answer to in an attempt to push an agenda that I haven’t fully deciphered yet.Thanks trying to piece this together. So where were Thomson & Figueiras committed before the flip to SU ?

Perfect way to put itI feel as though you ask questions that you already know the answer to in an attempt to push an agenda that I haven’t fully deciphered yet.
You don't score TDs in lacrosse?I read that TJ Conley scored 6 touchdowns last night for FM in their sectional playoff game. Looked into him a bit and found he committed to Rutgers class 2023 for lacrosse. I searched this site and only found him showing up in the Football recruiting threads.
Any reason why he was not mentioned here in the Lacrosse recruiting threads ?
This kid was local so I'm surprised the lacrosse folks here did not have a thread on him.You don't score TDs in lacrosse?
He isn't a 4-star recruit on Inside Lacrosse.

Thanks for the reply.Was never offered by SU for lax
Thanks for the reply.
Are there any CNY/NNY/UNY/WNY kids offered in the 2023 or 2024 classes ?
Cam should be a 4 star he’s good.IL updated their recruiting rankings with new players receiving four or three star designations. Current SU commits Drew Angelo (FO) and Ryan Cameron (D) are listed as three star recruits. IL currently has 11 four star recruits listed as Uncommitted.
