<p>I think your stats are well above average for those schools with exception to Fordham and Macaulay. I am a class of 2010 (HS) with higher GPA (4.0) but similar SAT, accepted into all those schools you mentioned with the exception of Macaulay.</p>
<p>Hmm I think I have an idea as to which school you go to… Actually, it matters a bit because students from the top NYC high schools are given higher consideration by local schools… Macaulay, Binghamton, Stony, and Fordham, IMO.</p>
<p>You should be in for all the schools except for Macaulay.</p>
<p>The most competitive Macaulays are Hunter and City. Only about 10 kids from ~50 applicants from my school were accepted… the majority were waitlisted. I was waitlisted with a 93w and 1460/1600 SAT (2210 with writing). Average SAT was 1300/1600. It gets more competitive by the year.</p>
<p>Generally, ED doesn’t necessarily make it easier to get in. Applying ED demonstrates dedication to the school, but the applicant pool tends to be more competitive. Consider: About half of Cornell’s accepted students were ED students.</p>
<p>Why don’t you try a couple more reaches? For a HS student at a top NYC school, the CUNYs, SUNYs, and Pace are practically safeties.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in premed, consider Sophie Davis (now an 8 year prgrm) or Brooklyn Biomed (8yrs). However, you must apply to Brooklyn Macaulay to apply to BBiomed.</p>
<p>Also, are you considering the ACTs? They’re easier.</p>
<p>SAT averages are a bit over 1400/1600 (not 1300), and Hunter and Baruch are generally considered the tougher of the schools to be admitted into (although its arguable).</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, city is difficult if you’re going for engineering I suppose. I’m just thinking of all the 4.0/2300 SAT people that got rejected from my school as compared to the people with lower grades/sats admitted to other macaulay schools.</p>
<p>does anyone here attend hunter? anyone like it? Are you happy there? It is so difficult for me to fing people who attend hunter…I need feedback…please share your thoughts/comments!!!</p>
<p>I am currently a senior in high school and i have gotten into Macaulay Honors College at the College of Staten Island. I come from a family that has low income; however, I have been accepted to SUNY: Bufallo, New Paltz, Stony Brook, Albany. I want to become a doctor (thinking about specializing in nueroscience, unsure). My main concern is that at Macaulay, after my first year i will have classes with the general population, regular students. I’m worried that my education won’t be up to par with the education i would have received if i went away. In addition, i have recieved a Transfer Option from Cornell, which states if i get a 3.3 or higher my freshman year at a different college, I will get high-prioperty transfer (cornell is my dream school). I have also been waitlisted by Northeastern, but i doubt i will be able to go due to money </p>
