<p>Hi, I am a seventeen years old student from Delhi, India. My SAT Scores are totally terrible due to some reason/s, they were 480 in Reading, 540 in Maths, 460 in Writing, 530 in Mathematics Level 2(SAT II) and 520 in Physics(SAT II). My High School marks are fine though and I have good extra curricular activities(Quizzing, Web Design, MUN) and do social work as well, is there any fat chance of people like me getting into SUNY at Buffalo, plus I will apply for Fall 2012, I hope I am not due for deadlines for International student. </p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your time! </p>
<p>Would really be grateful if someone could tell whether should I even apply or not..</p>
<p>*Sorry for title, I meant "too" and not "two".</p>
<p>You should totally apply to UB. Dont worry about your SAT scores if everything else is great. I am a freshman at UB in a similar situation as you.</p>
<p>@metsfan24: Whoa! You think I should apply, I am just scared to waste 65 bucks which means something to me. I thought there are absolutely no chances of people like me getting to University at Buffalo, how is engineering there by the way?</p>
<p>I think your scores are too low for engineering, which has it’s own standards and is more selective than the university as a whole. Also, if $65 is a lot, would you actually be able to come up with the certified $20+K needed to attend next year?</p>
<p>@sk8rmom: Umm, I contacted them(UB), they said I should apply,and submit my TOEFL score instead of any SATs at all, now I will need to give a TOEFL then, are the tough? Seeing I am not a diligent student. Plus, I will need to pay like $35K a year, and there is difference between spending $35K and wasting 65 bucks. Plus, I dont wanted to apply to colleges in which I will surely get rejected. What do you suggest? Any other university you think I can go for? Are these marks fine for New York City College of Technology or The City College of New York. I really really want a good school, then comes affording factor.</p>
<p>Look, honestly, if you’re getting mixed up between “two” and “too,” as your topic title suggests, and your SAT scores are mediocre, UB might be a slight stretch for you. I’m not saying you’ll get rejected outright, but the the chances are there. I recommend looking into some other schools as well. However, I still recommend you attempt to apply to UB, as $65 really isn’t much nowadays. The money-saving isn’t worth what you’ll miss out.</p>
<p>@Hong214: Haha, that was an unintentional typo I made, I did said “*Sorry for title, I meant “too” and not “two”.”. I generally type was too fast and then submit without an another glance. Yes, I know, SAT Scores are really bad, but, this doesn’t necessarily mean I suck in studies as well. I do fine in school, I kinda underestimated SAT, didn’t take any material/preparatory course and attempted once. I don’t mind 65 bucks at all, just that I will need to fill, then arrange all docs and then courier it to a place 8000 miles far. And btw, they(UB) said they don’t need my SAT Scores, which came as a good news to me. All they will need is my high school transcripts and TOEFL score.
You suggest any other college which should suite me? Universities like UB?
Thanks for your time!! :)</p>
<p>This, along with the 540 in Math, does not bode well for a potential UB engineering student! </p>
<p>Do you mean you haven’t taken the TOEFL yet? Don’t you also need to have your HS transcript translated and certified? I think you’re running short of time if you’re just now selecting schools to apply to for next year…</p>
<p>There sure are other schools you can look into. I would highly recommend Stony Brook or Binghamton, but both schools have just as high expectations, if not higher, than Buffalo. As for other decent engineering schools, you can look into somewhere like Drexel, NYIT, NYU poly tech, and City Tech (CUNY school). However, keep in mind that these schools are quite expensive, with the exception of City Tech. I’m assuming you want to stay around the east coast too.</p>
