<p>I applied to the School of Management for accounting. Also, I told my counselor that this university is my number 1 school that I want to go to, so he probably wrote something about that for this specific school. Do you guys think I have a good/decent chance?</p>
<p>The critical reading score is pretty low… it’s the weakest part of your application. And I don’t know how much Bing looks at ECs, but yours are really strong and your have a high enough GPA. Definitely not a sure thing, but you have a really good shot!!
Can you please chance me as well? I’m counted as out of state but I attend an international school in Tokyo.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.49 (weighted) (I know this is really low, but my grades have been improving in an upward trend. freshman: 3.02, sophomore: 3.55, junior: 3.86. I had a really rough Freshman year)</p>
<p>AP Classes (at my school you can only take them starting Junior year): US History, English Language and Composition, Macroeconomics. I also self-studied for Microecnomics and Japanese.
Right now I’m taking: Honors English, Honors Japanese History (an honors course uniquely offered at my school), AP Environmental Science, AP Statistics, and AP French.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
-varsity swim team all 4 years so far and captain both junior and senior year
-club called abot kamay all 3 years where i went to Thailand for a service trips
-treasurer of my GSSA club
-worked at a summer camp for the past 2 summers</p>
<p>You’re definitely a lock for Binghamton. Don’t worry and just relax yourself. I’m 90% sure that you’ll get in and possible the honors program.</p>
<p>@stage4survivor,</p>
<p>A lot of my friends/college advisers/school counselors told me that I have a really good chance. Of course there is a chance that I might not get in, but it’s pretty annoying how you just post “Unlikely” to most of the threads for SUNY Bing. It seems like you don’t know your stuff and practically everyone on this site is tired of you and your ways of making people feel unconfined. If my counselors told me that I have a good chance, I’ll believe them rather than some guy who comments 2 word answers.
Can anyone else chance me?</p>
<p>Do your own research and perish the thought your counselor could be dead wrong. Yes, look at the numbers I posted, 2 likelies out of about 10. YOU do the numbers, that’s 20% which is more optimistic than the 4000 out of 28,000 last year.
People are “yankin’ your chain” if you honestly think you’ll get into SOM. People get rejected to Harpur with your numbers.
Maybe SOME people don’t like it but, I’m a realist, is it better to blow smoke at someone if they want an honest, unbiased opinion? Look at last years acceptance thread.</p>
<p>I NEVER said that I could definitely get into SOM. I’m saying that I have a good chance due to all the positive responses I’ve attained from very educated people. I’m sorry but some people, with lower stats than mine, got ACCEPTED into SUNY Bing last year through EA and were in-state. You should “do your own research” and stop hogging the Bing section as if you’re an admissions counselor. Peace.</p>
<p>Ask people on the internet for chances → Insist that people on the internet should stop pretending to be admissions officers and claiming to know better than guidance counselors. Hmm…</p>
<p>Your GPA is probably fine but your SAT is definitely below average, let alone for SOM. I think you’re looking at a deferral. My friend was deferred with a 2120, and that was for Harpur.</p>
<p>Again, do your own research. No pretension, look at historical data here. It’s not hard to see the numerical trends.
Furthermore I KNOW of a GC that tells all her students they have a good chance despite knowing less than 10% of her applicants will be accepted. AND she told one he was a high reach, got accepted.
This BS telling everyone they deserve trophies for mediocrity is crap.
Isn’t just too bad someone comes along with the truth and you don’t like it?
1 in 14 gets accepted so, you want the truth or more BS?</p>
