<p>NEU: Match
BU: Match
Binghamton: Match
NYU Poly: Low match
Stony Brook: Low match
Buffalo: Low match</p>

4

<p>A 1770 SAT would make NU and BU reaches.</p>

5

<p>I took it again in Dec, but I’m sure I only improved on writing, which SUNYs don’t even check.</p>

6

<p>NEU: High Match
BU: High Match
Binghamton: Match
NYU Poly: Match
Stony Brook: Low match
Buffalo: Low match </p>

<p>Do you have any safeties?</p>

7

<p>I haven’t applied for safeties. Are you sure Binghamton is a match? I heard that school is getting really competitive lately</p>

8

<p>Where the hell are people getting their info from?</p>

<p>Binghamton and BU are high reaches for you, match for pretty much everywhere else.</p>

9

<p>Binghamton could be placed as a high match now…</p>

10

<p>@Xin what about NEU?</p>

11

<p>Northeastern is a reach with that SAT sry. Id really bank on the other schools</p>

12

<p>BU is also quite a big reach as the average SAT of last year’s class was 2000</p>

13

<p>[Binghamton</a> University - Undergraduate Admissions - Who Studies at Binghamton- Class Profile](<a href=“http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/class-profile.html]Binghamton”>http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/class-profile.html)</p>

<p>^^Binghamton is also a reach at this point</p>

14

<p>Stony Brook, NYU POLY are matches Id say…definitely not surefire admits though.
I’d put Buffalo at a low match, would be surprised to see you denied there</p>

<p>XinzeLi: First off, there is no need for vulgarity and incredibly rude personal messages.
Second, Binghamton’s average SAT range middle 50% ends at 1800, 1770 is very close to that and they have stated that it should improve at least slightly. Which will probably put them into the range. Binghamton’s average GPA is a 3.3-3.9 which puts them in the upper range. Averaging stats alone they are in the lower/middle, which is classified as a high match or a match, not a reach. My SOURCE (which you called me out on, yet shockingly you did not have either…) is the Binghamton’s website: [Binghamton</a> University - Undergraduate Admissions - Who Studies at Binghamton- Class Profile](<a href=“http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/class-profile.html]Binghamton”>http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/class-profile.html) </p>

<p>Third, Boston University’s average 50% range is 1770 to 2050 so dseed falls into that, at the lower end, but still in it. The average GPA is 3.59 and 3.97 which puts them right in the middle. Since one score is on the lower and the other in the middle, that means that they are a high match. NOT a reach. Also Boston U accepts almost 60% of applicants which is quite high and implies that they are not that selective.
My information comes from two incredibly trustworthy sites: [Boston</a> University Overview - CollegeData College Profile](<a href=“http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=146]Boston”>http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=146) AND [Boston</a> University Admissions: SAT Scores, Financial Aid & More](<a href=“http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegeprofiles/p/BostonUniv.htm]Boston”>Boston University: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores, GPA) .</p>

<p>Sorry dseed for all of the confusion and different opinions! I hope that this clears somethings up! If you have any questions feel free to ask! I sincerely hope that you get accepted to all of these amazing schools!</p>

<p>^^^outdated, Im sorry but look at the links I provided</p>

17

<p>NOTE: People also need to remember that GPA plays a large part in college admission! Many colleges give it even more importance than standardized tests!</p>

18

<p>Community75, they are the exact same link for Binghamton…</p>

19

<p>Boston University now admits 45% </p>

<p>OK, I do stand corrected that I had info from 2011 (or 2010) instead of 2012 for Boston U and if they only admit 45% instead of the 58% I had seen around, then yes they become a low reach for you! I am sorry, once again, for the confusion!</p>
