Can I get into any of the SUNY's?

<p>Hello, I'm a high school Junior. I have an unweighted transcript average of 78, but I got a 2320 on the SAT's. (800 Math, 800 Writing, 720 CR). I've been in about 8 clubs in my 3 years of High School, with 1 leadership position. If I write a well written college essay explaining why I've done poorly throughout HS (death in family etc.), is there any chance for me getting accepted into SUNY school's such as Binghamton, University at Buffalo, and Stony Brook? (btw i live in New York)</p>

<p>Congrats on your SAT! Yes you can probably get into a SUNY, but I don’t know if you will get into the three schools that you listed. Bing is very competitive and most kids have outstanding GPAs and test scores. I think you should apply, but you should also add a few SUNY colleges to the mix ie Plattsburgh, Oswego, etc.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! Those 3 schools are my top choice, I hope I get into one of them. I will apply to the other SUNY’s as well.</p>
