So now what?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Binghamton University - SUNY

<p>I was deferred from SOM and I really want to go to Binghamton. I had my mom's friend, my "college counselor" call Binghamton to see why I was not accepted and what I could do to help my chances RD.</p>

<p>They said that SOM was the most competitive part of Binghamton and they had many qualified applicants, but a limited number of spots. The admissions officer said she thought I might be one of the more appealing applicants RD, but nothing could be guaranteed. She also said I would probably be accepted into Harpur and I could maybe transfer into SOM later, but I want to be in SOM from the beginning of my freshman year...</p>

<p>What do I do now? I really don't know what to do to spend my time... This is eating away at me. I get so ****ed off at myself all the time now whenever I think about Binghamton. I don't even care if I get into the other schools I applied to anymore... I don't know how I'm going to wait until April...</p>

<p>I would just wait and see if you get in RD. Make sure to send your mid-year score reports, and perhaps any supplemental things. But other than that, I think you have to wait it out =/.</p>

<p>I would say to save yourself the headache and stay in the SOM pool, but if you are that determined and are willing to make the sacrifice, then go ahead and switch into Harpur. They say that you need a 3.5 for a guarantee transfer into SOM... it is def a challenge but doable. You could always take "easy" classes first semester to get that needed GPA and then apply....</p>

<p>Email your regional admissions counselor, keep your grades up, and hope for the best. Good luck!</p>
