<p>I’ll apply the best school such as Cornell, Columbia and NYC, if I was u</p>

<p>well Cornell doesn’t have my major, and I’m not sure about the others… but I would rather go to a school where there’s a mix of people rather than a bunch of smart people, and that’s what I feel like schools like Columbia and Cornell would be like! (plus, money is a big factor too :frowning: )</p>

<p>I am confused by “chance me” post" You asked this in February, got approving replies, and now your asking folks to chance you again? </p>

<p>My only advice to you would be to apply early action.</p>

<p>BTW, there are a bunch of smart people at Bing too ; )</p>

<p>haha well my stats changed a little bit, and i’m one of those people who are super concerned that they’re not going to get in anywhere! i was definitely thinking about applying early action, thanks!
and i know there are a bunch of smart people there too, thats why its one of the hardest SUNYs to get into! (;</p>

<p>Hey, did you ever read urban dictionary’s definition of “college confidential?” Funny stuff. Check it out.</p>

7

<p>You will very likely get in, I think. I’m a current freshman and there’s really so many ways to meet people, it’s a very friendly campus. The town is kind of a bummer but there’s enough.</p>

<p>yippeeskipee…
HEY, that’s not what I’m trying to do! hahaha :stuck_out_tongue: at least im not one of those sophomores that gets on here and is a complete and total genious, because you know there are lots of those on here :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>and rebeccar, thank you! it seemed really friendly when i visited, so it’s nice to know that it’s actually like that on a normal day too. I haven’t been into the town really, but driving through it seemed like there was enough stores and stuff but not much to do else wise. if there’s enough to do on campus then it probably makes up for it though, i think!
thank you!</p>
