Chances for me to get into SUNY Binghamton?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I visited Binghamton's open house today, and I really like the college. The problem is, I'm really not sure if I'll make it in or not.</p>

<p>3.36 cummulative GPA (I believe; missed NHS by a few points)</p>

<p>SAT:
630 Writing (hopefully going up when I get my next results, didn't really do too well on the 20-minute essay)
590 critical reading (disappointing, also hopefully going up with new SAT results)
450 Math (awful, I know; I just don't get Math at all. probably not much of a chance for a major change here)</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars:
Varsity Cross Country, 10th/12th
Indoor Track, 11th
Varsity Tennis, 12th
Photo Club, 10th
SADD, 12th
School newspaper, 10th/11th/12th
Youth in Government, 10th/11th/12th
Young Progressives, 11th/12th President</p>

<p>Honors/AP classes:
AP US History (3...)
English 10H, 11H, English 12 AP (AP score TBD, but it won't really matter because it's in May)
Spanish V AP (same as above)</p>

<p>And I doubt it means much, but my uncle and aunt are both alumni, as are 2/3 of my teachers writing recommendations (and they love me). I feel pretty lackluster; I definitely should have been trying as hard as I am now throughout all of high school. Would a good essay help me out a lot?</p>

<p>Also, white male, single mother with lower income, elligible for a lot of financial aid probably if that means anything with regard to actually getting into the school.</p>

<p>In addition, I'm also looking at SUNYs Purchase, Albany, and New Paltz, but I'd really love to be able to get into Binghamton.</p>

<p>Hmm, anyone?</p>

3

<p>I think that you have a good chance I knew people with worst stats who got accepted.</p>

4

<p>Pretty good chance I'd say, but definitely make sure the SAT goes up.</p>

<p>Anyway,do you have good Regents scores?</p>

5

<p>For the most part, I'd say so. 99 on the English regents, 98 on U.S. History, 99 on Global, mid-80s for Living Environment, Math A, Spanish and Earth Science.</p>

<p>And providing I can eke out a passing score on the Math B, I'll be getting the Advanced Regents Diploma.</p>

6

<p>I think if you get your GPA up to a 3.4 with a 1600 SAT score, you're in</p>

7

<p>great chance of getting in</p>

8

<p>Well, I guess this has been pretty encouraging? Thanks everyone. I think I need to try to really strive not to get Senioritis.</p>

<p>New SAT scores:</p>

<pre><code>Critical Reading 640

Math 490

Writing 680
</code></pre>

<p>I still suck at Math, but I'm pretty happy that I've improved in all three categories.</p>

<p>So...what do you all think given the new SAT scores?</p>

<p>good enough</p>
