<p>Anyone know what the SAT and GPA hurdles are to get into the Scholars program? </p>
<p>How many kids from Freshman class (% or #) get in? </p>
<p>Is it mostly in-state kids? </p>
<p>Someone told me it is easier to get into than UCONN's Honors program - but I find that hard to believe ...</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>[Binghamton</a> University - Binghamton Scholars Program](<a href=“Scholars | Scholars Program | Binghamton University”>Scholars | Scholars Program | Binghamton University)</p>
<p>I had read this link but no mention of required/minimum GPA nor SAT scores… </p>
<p>Anyone have any additional insights?</p>
<p>According to the FAQ page: </p>
<p>“There is no application process. A committee in the Office of Admissions selects students from admitted freshman based on SAT scores, academic records, and extracurricular and leadership activities and invites them into the program.”</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>“Invitations to join the Scholars Program are sent out in the spring before the student’s freshman year.”</p>
<p>I didn’t find any mention of usual stats either, but it sounds like you don’t need to worry about doing anything to get in because they’ll contact you if you’re invited.</p>
<p>they invite “up to 40 incoming freshmen.” approximately 2000 freshmen enroll.</p>
<p>i don’t think you will find any info for the stats for those invited into the scholars program. but given the fact that only about 2% of the entering class are invited, i think you can assume that their stats are fairly high.</p>
<p>you can look at their common data set – the most recent one on their website is 2009 – <a href=“Office of Institutional Research - Office of Institutional Research | Binghamton University”>Office of Institutional Research - Office of Institutional Research | Binghamton University; which will give you an idea of what their 75 percentile was for the class entering fall 2009 (see section C).</p>
<p>Thank You … looks like you need Ivy stats to get in …</p>
<p>I was invited (I’m in Watson), 33 act, 4.0 gpa, great letters of rec., thought my essay was excellent.</p>
<p>Got into cornell engineering so I guess you can say I have ivy stats, but I will be attending binghamton!</p>
<p>Erm, nevermind. That was the President’s Scholar thing. Confusing names -.-</p>
<p>I’m in scholars and people are definitely curious about everyone’s scores, but it’s not really discussed so I don’t know what the “average” is. I had a 34 ACT / 2140 SAT / 96 gpa. The only two other people whose scores I know got a 33 and 34 ACT. I’m a freshman and there’s 50, not 40 kids this year because they “couldn’t narrow it down”. They do genuinely look at everything; they’re really big on leadership.</p>
