My turn: Chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Binghamton University - SUNY

<p>Hi! I'm a Junior right now and it would be great if you guys can chance me!</p>

<p>GPA: 93.16 weighted (I guess about a 3.73?)
91.7 unweighted
SAT: 1120/1600 (490v, 630m)
1750/2400 (630w, 10 on essay)</p>

<p>EC:
- Yearbook Committee (9th)
- Key Club (11th-present)
- Ellipsis Club (11th-present)
- Volunteer at hospital (expect to have 150+ hrs by Sept.)</p>

<p>I know my SAT is really bad, especially for the CR section, but I'm going to retake in May, so I'm expecting an improvement. I am also going to take the ACT, since vocabs are my weakness and the ACT doesn't test that, so I think I'll score higher on that hopefully. I'm going to take SATIIs for Math1(expecting middle-high 600?) and probably Chinese(expecting 700ish) later in the year. </p>

<p>Thanks guys! Feel free to suggest some colleges as well! =D</p>

<p>Yeah I think your app looks pretty good...try to write a killer essay and get great recs..</p>

3

<p>Thanks Bronxbmbrs2k3! I still think I need to work on my SAT since it's really not so great =p</p>

4

<p>SATs definitely need some work.</p>

5

<p>SAT's need a little work but don't worry my friend with 93 weighted gpa and about a 1700 got accepted...</p>

<p>My son's GPA was lower at 89 and he had a 1250 out of 1600...and was rejected. The 93 GPA you have is great...I think the SAT needs to come up to at least a 1250. There are plenty of SAT courses out there that can almost guarantee a nice point jump if you study and do the course material.</p>

<p>I just got my May scores back, and if you count all highest section, I have: CR: 550, M: 630 and W: 630. 1180/1600 and 1810/2400. Will that make a difference to my previously score? I think I should retake it in October and go to SAT prep in the summer. </p>

<p>Any advice? Thanks so much in advance!</p>

<p>Do you know what major you are going into?</p>

9

<p>I'm probably going to do Accounting. However, I might go in as Undecided as well since I know business programs are very hard to get into.</p>

10

<p>Good Strategy!!!</p>

<p>You are perfectly right about that business is tough so going in as undecide will help</p>

<p>Def try to get your sat (cri. rea+ math) up to about a 1250-1370 somewhere in that region</p>

<p>Kaplan will help!!!</p>

<p>If you get it,</p>

<p>I'd say try for Cornell AEM
&
NYU Stern</p>

<p>Try some to have AMAZING RECS, AMAZING ESSAYS, AN AMAZING APP IN GENERAL, and it could happen</p>

<p>You'll prolly get into Bing unless it's just crazy next year</p>

11

<p>If I really go in as Undecided, and I don't get into the business school, does that mean that I can't do Accounting as a major? Or you can choose any major you want as long as you're in the school in general?</p>

12

<p>I'm pretty sure you can only do accounting at SOM and will not be able to be an accounting major at Harpur. It's also near impossible to transfer into the SOM.</p>

13

<p>i3asketballboy you nailed it... that's all correct</p>

<p>bbyy the school of management is dreadfully hard to get into... I don't think that you should apply there. Not to discourage you but it's crazy hard. You might get it, but an acceptance at Harpur would be more expected. </p>

<p>Therefore maybe you should chose another major such as maybe Economics in Harpur or maybe even the Individualized Major Program (<a href="http://harpur.binghamton.edu/deptsdegs.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://harpur.binghamton.edu/deptsdegs.htm&lt;/a&gt;) read there...</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies! They are very informative =)</p>

<p>I was wondering, when you actually apply to Binghamton, can you apply to both Harpur and SOM or only one?
I looked at the SUNY application and only the actual SUNY universities/colleges are listed, but not the schools (ie. Harpur, SOM) in them. So how does that work?</p>

<p>Thank you so much, again!</p>

<p>ummm
you can apply to:
only 1 </p>

<p>and i think your selected major applies you to the school w/ your major</p>
