<p>I have a 95.7 gpa and around a 1560 on the SAT's (planning on taking the sats again in october and november); do I have a good chance of getting into UB and what other suny colleges would be best suited for me to apply to? </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Is the 1500 your score for all sections or just Math + Critical Reading? What is the breakdown and have you taken the ACT?</p>
<p>The SUNY Fast Facts sheet is a good resource - <a href=“http://www.suny.edu/student/downloads/Pdf/2011_Admissions_qf_stateop.pdf[/url]”>http://www.suny.edu/student/downloads/Pdf/2011_Admissions_qf_stateop.pdf</a></p>
<p>It’s for all three sections - I tried taking a practice act and did even worse. I tend to not be able to finish a lot of questions on time. I have taken practice sats and got a 1740 maximum on one through a course on the side.</p>
<p>My guidance counselor actually gave me that sheet, it’s just that I want to get my application in as soon as possible, but I have no idea what schools I shouldn’t apply to, since I haven’t taken the sat again yet…</p>
<p>Do you know what you want to study? That would be a helpful way to reduce the list of possible schools to a manageable number and pick safety and reach schools.</p>
<p>Well, I was looking into pharmacy and buffalo is the only one that has it… I just wanted to apply to some extra suny schools</p>
<p>Are you committed to applying to only SUNY schools? Pharmacy at UB is intense and very competitive. If you’re having trouble with the SAT/ACT, that may not be the best environment for you to perform in. Have you looked at St John Fischer or D’Youville?</p>
<p>I’m not 100% sure I want to do pharmacy, so I’m trying to apply to either schools with pharmacy or SUNY schools. I figured that if I don’t get into one of the pharmacy schools I applied to, then I would just go to either a suny or community college for the time being. This is the list of schools I’m thinking about applying to; let me know if I should probably make any changes (kind of want to narrow it down to 8 choices maximum): Albany College of Pharmacy, SUNY Binghamton, UF, Northeastern, St. John’s, SUNY Albany, SUNY Stony Brook, Suffolk CC, SUNY Oneonta, and SUNY Buffalo. Financial need is a huge issue in where I will go to college, which is why I mainly wanted to get into Buffalo… thanks.</p>
<p>Rutgers NB/Pscataway
SUNY New Paltz
SUNY Oswego
SUNY Brockport
SUNY Cortland
SUNY Plattsburgh</p>
<p>forgot those also…</p>
<p>If FA is a huge issue, you can cross UF off your list. They don’t give much financial aid to out of state students. My sister with a great GPA and SAT score and URM got a measly 3k which barely helped begin to cover the tuition costs. Needless to say she transferred to a CUNY. Wasn’t worth the debt.</p>
