MM,
yes, I have seen all those stats. I talk to a couple of people at the admit day and they claim to have a national rep. Its probably bc of the bball team. either way everything I have read states that only the top schools are national the rest is regional. I question them telling me its national as them trying to sell me their school.
I am looking at Suffolk as my only other choice (thus far)and I really like the school, facilities, and especially the location. but syracuse has a better known name, higher ranked, and most importantly programs that I am interested in.
