<p>I couldnt really say, however, i dont have any statistics but your SAT scores look a little “iffy”</p>

<p>your gpa seems low for you intended major and in general i think APs showing that you could handle the rigor of your major would have been good to have. your SATs are also kind of low, however, you are from NJ and that might give you a boost because you’re an OOS applicant</p>

<p>Sorry to say this, but I doubt if a SUNY is going to look much at your extracurriculas. I think they base it 95% on SAT scores, GPA, and rigor of HS classes. You seem a little low in each area, at least for your intended major.</p>
