<p>You have very good chance with Binghamton and especially Albany, :)</p>

<p>You should have no problem getting into Binghamton or UCF. I’m not sure about the others</p>

<p>Well, it is safe to say that Towson WILL defer you. Now, I don’t want to be a debbie downer, but I only say that because I have personally experienced it. I applied to Towson with a 2.96 gpa, got deferred and was devastated. I worked my as* off for the rest of my first semester, kept a good relationship with the admissions counselor (I’m from Jersey, too…her name is Alexandra, and she is super helpful), and wound up getting in. When I was talking to the head of admissions last week at accepted students day, he told me that they do defer a lot of borderline kids because they want to see if they actually have the “drive” for their school. Side note: Now I’m going to Towson :)</p>

<p>UCF, WVU, Drexel, and Albany shouldn’t be a problem at all. You’ll probably get deferred from UMass as well. Ithaca and Bing, I’m not really one too comment. Bing is one of the best SUNY schools, so it has gotten a lot harder to get into. Keep your grades up next year, and try to get your SAT scores up, too! I know, it’s a scary time, but it all works out in the end :D</p>
