<p>Woohoo my power is finally back after 5 days!</p>
<p>So is Irene completely gone now? I heard it hit Vermont pretty badly.</p>
<p>uh idk I haven’t been able to watch the news lol</p>
<p>Yeah it’s most likely gone now.</p>
<p>well that’s good to hear :D</p>
<p>Hey, can you guys chance me?</p>
<p>about 94-95 average weighted
i go to a long island catholic school that does not rank
700 M 720 CR</p>
<p>EC’s:</p>
<p>Model UN 4 years
DECA 2 years (1 award)
ice hockey 4 years
track 2 years
nhs
volunteered at local summer camp, also 1 year of paid employment at summer camp</p>
<p>the weakest part of my app is rigor of schedule.</p>
<p>up until now ive been in only 4 honors and 1 AP (geometry, trig, precalc, AP US) but next year ill be in AP Calc, AP econ, and all honors except for theology class.</p>
<p>not sure if this really matters, but i had a couple of bad regents this year, 78 on chem and 80 on english (i really regret disagreeing with that quote for the essay…) and although i cant really remember im sure i got a few mid or high 80’s on past math and science regents.</p>
<p>Binghamton isn’t my number one choice but the other schools that I like better are either reaches or too expensive, so ill probably end up there if i get in.</p>
<p>Hello. Can somebody please check me too?</p>

- Paid employment at a local restaurant</p>
<p>I plan on taking the ACT this year. I have a great letter of reccomendation lined up. I’m still nervous though. I feel like for every category I’m higher in (SAT), I’m lower in something else (GPA).</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@eric2dea definitely.</p>
<p>@micitz yeah your gpa is a little low. But everything else looks great</p>
<p>@eric2dea, yes you are in . It seems like the two MAIN factors to get into Bing is GPA and SATs. Regents don’t matter that much. I know someone that got in last year with a 68 on one of his regents.</p>
<p>@micitz, your GPA and SAT are slightly below the average. Get a strong GPA during your 1st semester of senior year to send as your mid-year report. Definitely go for the ACT, the math section is a joke.</p>
<p>Nice micitz. I play in NJBL as well!!</p>
<p>@NYCDave, I know the GPA is a little low but on the tour I went on (two days ago) the man who lead it said the average SAT is a 1260 which I’m (just) higher than. Has the average score gone up?</p>
<p>Does it matter that I’m related to an alumni who still volunteers at the college and does tours and stuff. Also two of my cousins are alumni as well. I know college board says they consider it but it seems like it wouldn’t actually make a difference.</p>
<p>Yes, alumni relation is a plus. Not significant, but it could be the difference if they’re on the fence about you. Like Hunter said, work on the GPA and if you can, take the SAT again.</p>
<p>or the ACT! I would definitely recommend it if you don’t particularly like the SAT</p>
<p>what is Binghamton’s average 2 part? 1340?</p>
<p>1285 if you believe College Board.</p>
<p>oh that’s not so bad</p>
<p>So my mom’s freaking out because of all the flooding in Binghamton haha. Classes are all canceled and 1,300 refugees are living on campus now</p>
<p>Yeah I heard about that too. My mom mentioned it haha. I hope everyone’s alright!</p>
<p>My friend goes there. He’s fine, but yeah no classes.</p>
<p>The Army was airlifting supplies via Black Hawk landing in the parking lots there haha. The pictures are on their facebook page.</p>
