<p>I haven't heard yet. How about you guys?</p>

2

<p>I got wait-listed</p>

3

<p>waitlisted for fall sem, but accepted for spring sem.</p>

<p>ahighschooler, are you planning to wait though?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, I'm planning on waiting.</p>

<p>After all, the other schools I've gotten into are quite expensive.</p>

5

<p>I am currently a sophmore at Binghamton that was waitlisted when I applied.. if you have any questions feel free to ask me.</p>

6

<p>did you get in after the waitlist? when did you hear by?</p>

7

<p>Yes I did get in off the waitlist and I got a phone call and a letter from bing on May 6th. You need to wait until after the deadline on May 1st to get a response.</p>

<p>I was kind of an interesting case in terms of college admissions. Waitlisted at 5 good schools and I got into 4 off the waitlist. Bad Sats, Good Gpa, tons of ECS and 9 APs. Hard work can really pay off sometimes. </p>

<p>The best advice I can give is... Never underestimate the power of visiting admissions counselors in person. It WILL deffinitely work towards your favor, by atleast showing interest to the schools u want to go to.</p>

9

<p>well, its kind of hard for me to visit.. so do you think it would be good to write a letter of interest?</p>

<p>A letter of interest will help, but I was able to meet IN PERSON, the associate director of admissions that would let me in. The guy I met with basically had the power to accept me or deny me and We talked for about 1-2 hrs about my case and certain aspects of Binghamton. The talk really can't be transcribed on a "letter of interest". Just driving up there, proves that u want to go there. I can't say that a letter of interest can do that. I did not have the time as a senior with 5 APS, but I MADE THE TIME. I cannot emphasize that enough. If you really want something, you will make it happen. That is the best advice I can give. The best option for me was paying instate tuition at Binghamton and I did whatever I could to keep the costs down for my parents. Despite that, a letter of interest might help but i don't know if it will help to sway an adcom.</p>
