SUNY Math Colleges

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've searched your forums here, and have discovered that each SUNY school has its own 'unspoken specialty'. However, I've not found any information that would suggest which one a math major would look to go to. I've heard of the 'Potsdam Miracle' and all, so I assumed that Potsdam would be near the top, but then I've read here that it's mainly a musical school. Binghamton, I hear, is rated one of the best, but, again, is the math program there all that good?</p>

<p>I'm hoping to get a dual major in math\math ed. and then go on to graduate school for math.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks</p>

<p>Stony Brook, without question.</p>

<p>Potsdam has an excellent music school, but that is by no means all that it has!</p>

<p>Ditto Stony Brook.</p>

<p>Hmm, Stony Brook is quite a distance. (I live in Buffalo.) It’s also near NYC…I’ve never been fond of larger cities…</p>

<p>What would be a ‘second’ best? (Or, would a degree from Potsdam not be as rigorous as Stony Brook? What, exactly, makes one better than the other?)</p>

<p>If it helps, I was thinking of applying to Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, Potsdam, and Geneseo. Should I add\subtract anything?</p>

<p>I mean, I have a ~96 average, 29 ACT\1920 SAT, have taken 2 AP’s (Recieved 4 and 5), will take 5 more this year, and take whatever art classes I can. I know my record isn’t <em>super</em> (I have very few EC’s), but should I be trying for something better than Potsdam? I really love the area (I’ve vacationed there. Absolutely beautiful.), but my scores seem to be a bit above their admissions data. What do you think?</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>I would recommend looking at Stony Brook, Binghamton, UB and Albany</p>

<p>The admissions summary will give you some idea as to where you should fall. If you are not applying to EOP or Honors, I would recommend that you submit your application asap, including your supplements. With the exception of Stony Brook, which will give you an on-line ID to access their supplement, you should be able to start the rest of your supplements.</p>

<p>good luck to you</p>
