Need Help Narrowing Down

State Forums
1

Here’s a list of schools I got into:

Adelphi University
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Buffalo
The New School
Fordham University
New York University
SUNY Albany
Stont Brook University (waitlisted)

So far I’m barely passing AP chemistry and Pre-calculus so I’m in danger of being dropped.
Cumulative GPA is 89.30 for the first quarter.

NYU, my top school, came out to at least $64,000 per semester after all the maximum grants.
I would be in debt the rest of my life. Unless I can be sure I’ll be able to pay, I can’t go.

I made some shitty choices when applying so most of the schools I got into are safety schools.
If I could I would transfer to better schools, they’re just too expensive.

I’m interested in many things, including linguistics, Japanese language(I’ve studied for 4 years), music theory, and possibly some science (I still like science, I just don’t think I’m built to make a career out of it).

Out of these, how can I narrow them down?

Fordham and NYU are very expensive. If you want to narrow it down financially i would eliminate those 2. After visiting Albany I would not recommend it, the campus is dirty, dull and most students go their to party and get away from home, and the surrounding area can be dangerous. Binghamton is a great school and a great value its also known as a public ivy. I would also visit all the schools you are especially interested in to make a decision. Binghamton is also a university so there are going to be more choices for majors. Hope this helped :slight_smile:
