im a junior in highschool and ive been looking at schools like geneseo and binghamton but i am not sure if i will get in. my sat scores are fine (2100) and i have a lot of stuff to put down for music a but it’s my gpa i am worried about. how do geneseo and binghamton calculate your gpa? when i calculate my gpa with only my core classes from freshman and sophmore year, my grades are around a 3.65. ironically, classes like health and spanish are bringing me down because when they are included, my gpa is a 3.3. do colleges look at these classes? i also am an ap/honor student, and usually take the highest level course unless it’s english. will they care about that? do suny collleges care about your weighted gpa? also if there are any suggestions on how to make my app look better that would be great.
They care about both. Geneseo and Binghamton are certainly possibilities. You have plenty of time to bring your GPA up. New Paltz, Albany, Stony Brook, and Buffalo are also very good schools that you would have a very good chance to get into. Especially if you are instate. Your test scores are great for SUNYs. I recommend applying EA for all of the ones you can apply to.
