How hard is it to get into Binghamton?

Applying to College
1

<p>Please rate how hard it is to get into Binghamton on a scale of 1 to 10. I think that it would be pretty tough because, they want to see the best grades in rigorous courses. </p>

<p>Would a 90 in Algebra II look stinky to them? I hear they like to see 93 and better. What about a 90 in AP stats, AP Euro, APUSH, AP Physics B, and all that other rigorous stuff. </p>

<p>Also, what SAT/ACT scores do I need? Do they look at it out of 2400 points. Would a 2200 be "good enough?" I plan on being involved in quite a bit of extra curricular activities. </p>

<p>So far I only have one grade, and it's only a 92 in a regents class (only my state and one other have them.) It was an honors course, what would my GPA be? I'm worried that it isn't good enough...</p>

<p>For people on this website, I would say it’s a 1 - pretty easy. You look like you’re pretty set, might want to check out some other schools as well.</p>

<p>No it is not a 1, it is probably a 4-6. You need at least a low 1300 SAT (CR/M) and ~92-93+GPA to be competitive. Students with 1200+ SATs and lower GPA do get in but not nearly as much.</p>

<p>It’s a school where stats alone can pretty much guarantee you acceptance, given everything else is at least o.k, you should most likely get in with that SAT.</p>

<p>EC’s and essays dont carry that much weight.</p>

<p>ECs are as important as class rank, the essay and recommendations. <a href=“Office of Institutional Research - Office of Institutional Research | Binghamton University”>Office of Institutional Research - Office of Institutional Research | Binghamton University; Only 40% of applicants make it in. 60% of admits have >3.75 GPA and the 1300 SAT is probably a good cutoff (just north of the 25%ile).</p>

<p>In state or out of state? Huge difference</p>

<p>Major plays a big factor at Binghamton.</p>

<p>Business and Nursing programs are likely the most competitive.</p>

<p>I wasn’t planning on getting a 90 in trig BTW, but I was wondering :P. I don’t even understand percentiles, I talk out of 2400 points, I don’t tolerate under 2200 for that, but I have standards…</p>

<p>@Rodney- This is in state…</p>

<p>@Crazed- I want to major in physics.</p>

<p>It’s going to be tough for you to score 2200 if you don’t understand percentiles. Look at the Common Data Set link, section C9. Try for the #s in the 75%ile column. You also need a high GPA. Look at section C11.</p>

<p>@Erin’s dad- I’m 13, I don’t even know what a percentile is. I’m not even ready to take an SAT/ACT yet.</p>

<p>Then why are you posting this thread? Think about this in 2-3 years…</p>

</p>

<p>Perhaps high school freshman are interested in colleges :).</p>

<p>Also, I don’t think that waiting until your junior/senior year to think about picking what college you want is the best idea.</p>
