<p>Ok, so i failed my math B regents twice (57 and 64) and my Physics regents (64).
Please dont be rude, I know it was stupid . So next year is my senior year. </p>
<p>Can i retake the test in January of my senior year and how will colleges see that i passed if i would have already sent in my applications by then.</p>
<p>Additionally, does Binghamton look at regents scores at depth? I know I can get 90+ on these test if i wanted to in January, but how will they see the grades?</p>
<p>It will all be part of the big picture. If your Regents are reported on your transcript, then they will see them. </p>
<p>If you are planning on majoring in a math or science field, yes, it might be an issue.</p>
<p>If you are planning on applying to Bing as ED (do they have ED?), then they won’t see the improvement. If you are applying RD, and you improve, and the new grades are reported on your transcript, and you explain the issue on your application, then it may not be too much of an issue.</p>
<p>Are your regents grades averaged as a 5th quarter, or as a final?</p>
<p>The Math B regents is very hard. Not many people actually do well in them so I wouldn’t fret if I were you. Plus, Binghamton isn’t that hard of a school to get into. The best of the SUNYs but still not that difficult overall. If you’re doing well in other areas of your application such as your GPA, EC, and SAT score then getting into Binghamton shouldn’t be too hard.</p>
<p>It kind of sucks to see that you could’ve gotten the regents diploma if you had just made one more point.</p>
<p>How can you say that Binghamton isn’t that hard to get into this year in particular. My son was rejected from Binghamton after being waitlisted but got into every other state shcool. The rejection letter stated that they got about 30,000 aplications for about 2000 freshman spots. You have take the economy into account with state schools.</p>
<p>FYI, Binghamton apparently is eliminating early action this coming admissions season: RD only…</p>
<p>Binghamton is a great university. But, if you’re not going into math or science, you should be fine.
I know some guy who got 50’s on both (Can’t remember exactly) like a 1700 on the SAT’s and got in.
So, good luck!</p>
<p>emthern apparently you’re naive. Just because they say they have “2,000” spots for the incoming class doesn’t mean they actually accept only 2,000 out of the 30,000 applicants. They obviously have to accept waay more than 2,000 to save their yield and make sure enough people actually matriculate in the University. In your son’s case, he might have been too qualified for Binghamton so they denied him out of fear that he most likely will not enroll. This is to protect their yield in case you did not know. Or it may just be the exact opposite in that maybe he just wasn’t good enough for Binghamton. I’m also nots ure why you brought the economy into this to validate your point. If anything it makes my point even more valid. many students opt for schools such as Binghamton not because it’s truely a great school but because they can afford it more than private schools. This in turn, increases Bingo’s application which ultimately decreases their acceptance rate. Bingo isn’t a self-selection based University and garnishes it’s selectivity on student needs. Overall it’s a fairly ok school to get into. Not difficult at all but not a cakewalk either.</p>
<p>Emthern- For 2008 (the latest Common Data Set) Binghamton had 25,242 applications and accepted 9,799 students. So, as HouseofLondon stated, they accept many more (almost 5 times as many) students to fill the 2000 slots.</p>
