<p>Wow. So hard for anyone to know. I really don’t have anything to tell you. My DD had a higher GPA but lower SAT (actually she submitted ACT, but the conversion was lower than your SAT). Also from NY. She’s a freshman at UD now (like you, waitlisted at Binghamton). I am just blown away that you got in to Tulane but deferred (waitlisted?) at Binghamton. Good luck. I know it’s a long, hard wait.</p>
<p>I’d say you’re probably in. Your senior class load is good. Your SAT is a little lower than my son’s from 2 years ago, he got into the UD Honors program. He was deferred and eventually rejected from Bing. I really wish they’d tell us why, because to this day the guidance counselors at his HS have no idea why – he was rated 6th in his rather large class. We just attribute it to their discriminating against white middle class NYS residents.</p>
<p>How much money did Albany give you? My son got the $3k award and turned it down (he only applied there so he could go somewhere in NYS for the first year if he got a guaranteed transfer to Bing or Cornell ILR so he would not lose his regents scholarship). Sadly, it didn’t work out. The good news is he loves it at UD.</p>
<p>
There may be some real truth to this. My D was deferred also, with almost a 2100 SAT, amazing GPA and full IB diploma. Not one kid from her large school’s IB program was admitted to Bing that year, although several kids from the less prestigious program were admitted. The kids in IB, aside from my D, were val, sal, some had SATS above 2200, some were admitted to Ivy League schools despite not being admitted to Bing, and the kids who were admitted weren’t nearly as accomplished. Go figure. Their loss. When my daughter is rich and famous, she will be donating her time and money to UD.</p>
<p>I received 4,000 a year from Albany and 3,000 a year from Vermont. I appreciate the input, as I am dying to know exactly where I am headed off to next year.</p>
<p>LINYMOM - I was definitely deferred from Binghamton, not waitlisted.</p>
<p>Still, you were deferred. Unbelievable. Not sure I get Binghamton, who they accept and who they defer/waitlist/reject. You’ve got four great choices so far. I would think UD will make 5 (then you have the two deferred). What’s your top choice? What do you want to study? I guess that will play into which of the schools you choose…</p>
<p>My top choice was University of Michigan, after that I’m really not sure. I’m planning on either studying business (I petitioned for the Kelley School of Business at Indiana) or Political Science, as my goal is to attend law school.</p>
