Can I get in... ??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Binghamton University - SUNY

<p>Well, I'm a sophmore at a SUNY Community College and looking to go into Binghamton as an Accounting major. On a brochure I got from a rep it says the average GPA is a 3.4, mine was a 3.89 at Hofstra (was there for my freshmen year and left for financial reasons) and now will hopefully be a 4.0 this semester at CC. I think SAT average was 1260 or 70 and mine was only a 1200, but I heard SATs don't matter once you've been in college for over a year? </p>

<p>Do I have a shot at Binghamton as a junior? </p>

<p>I'm really interested in going there and hope I can get in, can't do much better gradewise and can't do much about the SATs (but I don't think they matter). I was involved in the transfer club here to help set up trips to schools and run things if reps came down. Also was involved in a club for honors students, although we don't seem to do that much in it.</p>

<p>What are my chances? </p>

<p>Also, how is Binghamton? Be honest please... socially and all that I've heard bad things about it. I've just heard it's a very dull, boring place and everyone hates it. How true is this? Is it worth it to go? It's the one thing holding me back from wanting to go there.</p>

<p>Anyways, any advice/info you wanna throw out there would be appreciated, thanks.</p>

<p>It's not in a nice area...it's ghetto. But the school itself is extremely nice for a state school. I hear their Psychology program is top notch. My uncle attented Binghamton and he LOVED it. Another good reason for going is they have a baseball team (Binghamton Mets) that's a part of the New York Met's farm system...so you can watch players turn into superstars!</p>
