Binghamton university, any thoughts from students, alumni?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>As of currently, I’m a student at a SUNY school looking to possibly transfer to Binghamton university. I applied for the fall 2012 semester, and Binghamton just sent me an email requesting my midterm grades. I had a hard upbringing in a less then desirable environment, with that being said my high school transcript suffered. However, I received a 3.89 gpa this past semester and I’m on track towards reaching <em>hopefully</em> the same gpa. I really don’t know what to make of the request for the midterm grades; does this mean I have an adequate chance of getting in? I’m not a shallow person; I genuinely like the University Not Just for the Name. Can any students tell me about college life there, or anything that might affect my decision <em>if</em> I’m accepted?</p>

<p>I really need a change of environment <em>I’m commuting to college right now</em>, so any input, positive or negative about binghamton university would be awesome.</p>

<p>Happy trails and best of luck to everyone,</p>

<p>I don’t have a lot of experience here …maybe ask on Transfer forum … but I think it’s pretty standard to ask for a progress report mid-semester of the term before the transfer. Great first semester --now keep it up. Good luck!</p>
