Chances of transferring in

<p>I'm currently enrolled in a SUNY community college (for the past 2 years) and wanted to transfer to Stony Brook (or Binghamton, Buffalo) for Spring '09. I'll be completing my associates degree this fall, so I'll be transferring with 68 credits completed.</p>

<p>I messed up pretty bad my first semester at the community college, unfortunately landing in academic probation, but have since picked up my grades significantly.</p>

<p>My current GPA is 3.057, and I'm retaking a class during the fall semester that I failed my first semester, so my GPA will probably jump a point or two.</p>

<p>I'm wondering what my chances are of being accepted as a transfer? My major is computer science, if that helps.</p>

<p>Does transferring from a SUNY community college help me at all? Will I be able to get in? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I guess I just really need to know if I'm applying to schools within my reach.</p>

<p>Anybody have any information? I want to get in applications ASAP but need to know if I even stand a chance at being accepted?</p>

<p>Thought I responded; I typed out an answer this morning, but apparently it didn't take.</p>

<p>Anyway...</p>

<p>It looks like you should be okay for admission to the university -- typically a 3.0 is the minimum -- but as far as Computer Science goes, the department makes those decisions. (It's really the only major like that on campus; every other major we admit transfers directly through the Admissions office.)</p>

<p>So the short answer is yes, it seems like you're admissible.</p>

<p>I applied the day I read your response, SBUAdmissions. I was wondering when the decisions are being made though? When I called to ask if my application and transcript was recieved, they said November, when I called today to double check- they said within two weeks. Which one is it? November or within two weeks?</p>

<p>I'd bet it's within the next few weeks. (Which is mid-October, so either way, you're not too far off.)</p>
