<p>Hello will you please chance me or give me some advice on transfer admissions. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>College: University of Hartford. Economics Major. Honors Program. 4.0 1st semester. Dean's List. President's List. Honor's RLC. </p>

<p>classes taken, currently enrolled in: Intro to Sociology (A), Principles of Macroeconomics (tentative A), Honors Writing I (A), Honors Intro to Philosophy (A), Intro to Computers (A), Environmental Sustainability (A), Honors Writing II (tentative A), World Hunger (tentative A), Environmental Science (tentative A), Global Political Economy (tentative A-).</p>

<p>Extracurricular: Ultimate Frisbee member, radio show assistant music supervisor, honors residential learning community honors (community service), involved with sustainability initiatives on campus</p>

<p>Let me know!!</p>

<p>are you a freshman or a sophomore right now. Do you have your high school stats? You seem like a good candidate for northeastern, not sure about Binghamton U. I would have to see your SATs to see if you have a chance</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Binghamton University does not require official HS transcript or SAT scores once you’ve enrolled in college.</p>

4

<p>I did forget high school SATs. They’re not great. 590, 570, 570 I believe. (reading, math, writing).</p>

<p>I’m hoping they won’t look to much at high school stuff like that, because I feel it’s a bad reputation for me as a student. I got a 5 on AB Calc, and got an A in honors English in college, that should mean something more.</p>

<p>*Also, I am a New York State resident.</p>

<p>Your college work will bear heavier emphasis than your high school work. Even the top colleges like to see what you’re currently doing than worrying about the past. You seem like a competitive candidate for Binghamton, BU, and Northeastern. Go apply!
But I’m not too accurate whether BU will judge you partially on SAT scores, unless you have some internship experience. You have a greater chance of being admitted to Binghamton or Northeastern.</p>

6

<p>i think you’ll be fine at all of them</p>

7

<p>The common app makes you do all of the forms (teacher, secondary school, dean, etc.) in paper, but do you also have to submit the actual application by paper or online?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help and support.</p>

8

<p>You also have a shot for some bigger names like NYU and Emory, just so you know.</p>

9

<p>^^ not as a soph applicant. they’ll still look at HS stats and those are weak for those schools.</p>

<p>however, i agree that if you wait for junior transfer you’d be competitive at emory or nyu if you keep those grades up</p>

10

<p>emory doesn’t require hs scores… you have decent options with those grades and as an econ major</p>

11

<p>im pretty set on those schools, I like them for their location and programs</p>

12

<p>completely fair, you know yourself the best.</p>

<p>best of luck</p>

<p>Visited BU and Northeastern on my spring break in Boston, both are very impressive. BU students seem more individualized and intellectual, whereas NU seems to have more “popular” or hipper students. BU also has a really unique campus area, it reminds me of more european cities in a way.</p>

<p>I’d like to go to either of these schools, Boston is great.</p>

<p>Update: Accepted to Binghamton!!! </p>

<p>1/ 800 accepted into Harpur College</p>

<p>I’ll find out about financial aid stuff later though.</p>

15

<p>congratulations!</p>

16

<p>how did you find out about bing, they only took one applicant out of 800?</p>

17

<p>1/800 into Harpur CAS should NOT be the right acceptance rate. It should be much higher than that.</p>

18

<p>yea im sure its not the right acceptance rate</p>

19

<p>I’m sorry that wasn’t the acceptance rate at all. I meant to say that there is only 800 seats to be filed and that I (could be) one of them - that doesn’t define the acceptance rate at all. </p>

<p>I was just excited and didn’t think about what I was saying, mea culpa.</p>

<p>^ Hey, how many transfer seats are they filling for the Business school this year?</p>
