<p>Your gpa is within range and everything except your test scores seem positive for admissions. Your scores are below average, as you know. But I’m sure people have been accepted with lower scores. By any chance, did you apply as an EOP student? UB does seem to use a slightly more holistic admissions process than some schools, ie. they are not strictly numbers driven. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Per that data Buffalo considers as “Very Important”:
1- Class Rank
2- Academic GPA
3- Standardized test scores</p>

<p>From the info you provided:
1- 65% of last years admitted freshmen were in the top quarter of their class. Sounds like you should be Ok with your top 25%.
2- Not sure what a 91 translates to in terms of gpa but 70% of last years admitted class had gpa’s of under 3.49. I would immagine that a 91 is at least a 3.75 so you should be ok there.
3- Your SAT is below the 15% acccepted numbers but your ACT of 23 is at the 25% admitted number. This is probably your weakest part.</p>

<p>Hopefullly your other information gets you over the hump.
Good luck.</p>
