@PathophysiologyFTW can you pm me and add me to groupme.
Also anyone from Adelphi? Wanted to meet people since Upstate is one of my choices.
Congrats to everyone who got in! My daughter wants to apply next year. Would anyone be willing to provide some stats (gpa and test scores) if you got in? We are trying to see if she is a good fit and the odds for her to get in. Thank you!
Hey! Would you be able to add me into the the accepted students group chat please? @PathophysiologyFTW
Hi my daughter has a 34 ACT and 3.97 UW. What are her chances?
@MVparent,
Just two elements you provided is not enough to assess. What is weighted GPA? SAT Subject exams? What about volunteer experience? Research? Are you ORM? If yes on ORM, need to bring up your ACT scores. You should try to bring it up if you still have time.
@gradedu
Her weighted GPA is 4.1. This year school went to pass/fail grading so she her GPA will stay the same. Planning to write ACT in July for second time. Math 2 subject SAT 790. Will write Subject SAT for Chem, Bio, Spanish in Aug
Her EC are
- Girl Scouts â 10 years, Senior rank. Achieved Bronze, Silver award and working on her gold award
- Water Polo â 3 years in competitive league, 2 years on high school team. Will continue to play senior year as team captain
- Volunteering â Hospital & Urgent Care since 9th grade. Will continue this year
- Leo Club Officer for 3 years. Will continue to hold the position during senior year
- Summer internship with Berkeley last year. This year she got into Scripps summer program.
Hope this helps.
@MVparent,
Your daughterâs stat is right there with the competition. She should continue what she is doing, and definitely take the ACT again because her GPA is a bit on the short fall. However, one thing that I donât see is research. She should look into volunteering at a research lab at university or university medical institution. If she doesnât have time, maybe she should do less with healthcare volunteer because she probably has plenty of hours in this area.
Also, this is probably the best time to begin researching on the schools and track down their requirements. Call/e-mail them if requirement is not clear. There should be plenty of resources on college confidental here. Start out with the long list and begin to narrow it down to the number of schools she wants to apply.
Congratulations to all who got accepted into the program!
Have a question, If one gets forwarded to SUNY upstate via multiple feeder schools, do we get a choice to pick the UG option to attend? Some are more expensive than the others, so just trying to figure out which one to choose if we do not get the choice to pick. Thank you so much.
You donât get to choose the undergrad if you get into the program. The school that you get an interview from is the undergraduate you will have to attend. Good luck!!
Would anyone on this chat still be available for advice on the SUNY uas program?
There is a thread for this year if you still need help. It is called SUNY Upstate Accelerated Scholars 2021 Applicants
do you think, going thru UAlbany/Upstate or ACPHS/Upstate or SUNY Poly/Upstate or Purchase/upstate will make any difference in the Application?
What do you mean?
I meant the feeders either go with UAlbany or SUNY Polytechnic or RIT or Purchase college to get into UpstateâŠ
You can apply to as many feeder schools as youâd like. Theyâll independently decide whether to forward you to Upstate, but youâll only get one interview. Upstate will decide the school for which youâre interviewing.
I guess applying to more feeders gives you a better chance, but Iâd recommend only choosing those that youâd actually want to attend. I personally applied only to Syracuse, UAlbany, and RIT because I was looking for a bigger school near a city area.
Hope that helps!
