well first you'll have to spell the college's name right... (jk) have your college counselor include stuff about your learning disability in your recommendation (if you choose to submit your SAT... your ACT scores look good though). how about your courseload and EC's (because while your GPA may not seem that impressive at first glance, if you're overloaded with APs and lots of clubs/volunteering/sports/etc., it could make up for it... i don't personally know a lot about syracuse admissions (other people help me out on this one...)

How can a learning dissability get u a 320 in math but a 750 in verbal and a 28 on the ACT. Something fishy here(my uncles is a doctor who knows about this and he told me there is no way something like that could ever happen)...something fishy here

I guess it is flattering that you care about me getting in to college enough to accuse me of lying but I would advise you to get a text deleted. --Moderator

Zlovesta1, dial back the attitude and language at once if you want to stick around this board. Thewrathofme has already been banned for his remarks elsewhere. Abusive language, insults, and derogatory remarks, including those based on race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are not permitted here.
