<p>Hello everyone, its my first post at this site so here it goes: </p>
<p>I have a 2.8 GPA ( Math Hinders my Grade every year)
SATs- 560 English, 440 Math (Math Again)
Officer of my schools FBLA,
Member of Buisness Honors Society
Member of another acedemic program
Town Travel Soccer (Captain)

Student at a local performing arts school (Guitar)</p>
<p>I know that my grades are average, mostly because my 68s in math bring it down alot each year, but I would really like to be accepted to a New York state school. I am going for business and the 5 business classes that I have taken, i have gotten 88-95s in. I know that I will be appling to New Paltz (number one wish, already applied), Oneonta, and Albany. I will also apply to Uconn, Johnson and Wales, and maybe marymount as out of state. Everyone is telling me that it will be difficult, anything I can do to help, or just sit and hope? If anyone has any other suggestions besides community colleges I would appreciate hearing them. And if anyone has any experience about any of these six schools i would like to hear about them. Thanks.</p>
<p>I think you need to add more safety schools to the mix. Have you thought about any of the other SUNY’s? Maybe Plattsburgh, Farmingdale, Cortland? New Paltz is a reach. It is one of the harder SUNY’s to get into lately due to its rise in popularity. Oneonta and Albany may also be low reaches. UConn is a high reach. Definitely look into some other schools so you have more options.</p>
<p>I looked at Farmingdale, but they said that an extremely high number of students just commute and i live an hour and a half away so it would be empty on weekends. Plattsburgh is All the way up north and i was hopeing not to go further than like 2 1/2 hours. It does stink that NP has become harder to get into because that is less than an hour from me, has a laid back atmosphere, and is where many of my friends are. Someone told me that an out of state-er has a decent chance to get into a school due to them having to pay the out of state price, is that true or the opposite (like in the case of Uconn)?</p>
<p>I’m also applying to my share of SUNY’s… it looks like New Paltz and Albany are outside of your reach; your SAT’s and GPA are just too weak, but I like your EC’s. Oneonta & Johnson and Wales are good choices.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help amr2014. Do u think I would have a chance at Rutgers, i would like to go there but thought it was very similar to UConn’s admissions? I also thought St. Johns was very selective, I know it is very expensive? I would definetly consider the Cuny’s but Housing and atmosphere is a big factor to me. I have heard that queens college, hunter, and city have some sorts of housing but they are very limited and not like a traditianal college atmosphere at all. Do u have any personal experience with them?</p>
<p>Sports4, I would say that St John’s is “very selective” for only a few programs, like pharmacy. If you like the school otherwise, you should apply. But they do have a significant number of commuter/off-campus students.</p>
