<p>my son had a similar gpa but his sat was a bit higher at 1250/1600. He was wait listed for new paltz and then about 2 weeks later accepted, he was accepted at albany almost immediately as well as stony brook. He decided on Albany...and he is very happy there. Major factor against both NP and Stony(in his mind) was that a lot of kids go home on the weekends.</p>

<p>Oh. Is NP a commuter school then?</p>

<p>My daughter is a senior at NP & LOVES it. She has never commented on lame weekends...actually there is a good music scene there. We've gone on the weekends & see people everywhere. SUNY NP was an all-around great time for her!</p>
