<p>Caucasian male living in NY (I actually live 5 minutes from Binghamton, in Johnson City).</p>

<p>SAT (re-taking):</p>

<p>620 Math; 540 Verbal; 570 Critical Writing - 1160/1600 </p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: haven't got my transcript yet but it's gotta be 92 or 93, give or take a point</p>

<p>Honors/AP Classes:</p>

<p>Math 9 H, Math 10 H, Earth Science H, Biology H, Chemistry H, English 10 H, English 11 H, AP English, AP Government/Economics</p>

<p>Work experience: Held down a pretty good job for a couple months so far</p>

<p>EC's: I'm verrrrry weak here. A little volunteer work but nothing impressive at all..</p>

<p>Do I have at least an okay shot?</p>

<p>id say you have good shot if your gpa is where you say it is. boost SAT over 1200 and you should be pretty confident</p>

3

<p>yeah, you're almost guaranteed.</p>

<p>well, believe it or not i was rejected from bing with 1300 sats and a 91 avg.
got me in at rpi, stevens, nyu, and BU but not at bing lol. so i wouldn't consider anyone with 1100 sats to be a safety.</p>

<p>that stinks pretty badly</p>

<p>My son went for EA but just got an on-line note that they want to see his Mid year grades...so I am not sure if he really has a shot. His GPA was a bit lower than needed I guess...he has a solid 88 unweighted and his SAT is 1230 out of 1600. </p>

<p>His 1st marking period as a senior in HS is a 93...and he expects the same second marking period. Still I don't think he will get in. He has excellent recommendations and has a few EC's.</p>

<p>I'll give you a 50-50 chance, but you should start volunteering at certain places. If you get waitlisted, you can send bing all of your newly added EC's and possibly get accepted.</p>

<p>i have a 1240 SAT and almost a 94 weighted average and i was deferred from bing early action this year...</p>

<p>Maybe try the ACTs?</p>

<p>Yeah your SATs could use a boost, volunteer or do some EC...</p>

<p>What is your intended major? (SOM = most ocmpetitive...) Good luck :)</p>

<p>u have a pretty good shot for the harpur school of arts and sciences... i agree with whoever said to push ur SATs over the 1200 mark cause then ur most likely in after that point... however, if you applied to the nursing school/school of management, etc... its a coin toss thats not in ur favor unfortunately because those are very competitive programs to gain admission...</p>

<p>i agree with fpmid07... try to push ur SATs over the 1200 mark cause then ur most likely in with ur gpa/ECs, etc... however if u applied to any special program (nursing, business, etc.) then it will be even harder to gain admission unfortunately because they are very competitive..</p>
