<p>SUNY...
Bing and Genseo are now considered the best SUNYs, but as others have said SUNY in general is quite dissapointing to a lot of students. My daughter said she'd rather flip burgers in Mickey D's than go to a SUNY. So, it looks like loans for us.....</p>
<p>edad - wrong, i'm from upstate. And i'm the only one from my graduating class to go to an ivy league school. #1 and 2 in the class both went to UofRochester, 3 went to RPI, 4 Geneseo, like 5-10 was bing, more geneseo. And no, none of them are asian, I came from pretty much the whitest school ever - I can honestly name only 3 or 4 asians i know from my HS (and there's 2800 kids in total in my school). My point is I wanted to go someplace different. All of the smart kids either went to geneseo or bing. All of the 'middle' kids went to Buffalo or Albany. All of the party animals went to Oswego, Oneonta, Brockport, etc. Also, a handful of kids went to Syracuse - parents on the faculty = free tuition. </p>
<p>Glad to see people dont make hasty generalizations on this board!</p>
<p>You could have described a LI school. Congratulations on the Ivy admission.</p>
<p>i know what you mean by the LI school thing. It seems like the only people that complain about Cornell and Upstate in general are LI kids. Be happy for god's sake!!!</p>
<p>Geneseo has really changed over the years from a "party" school to one with an average SAT of 1250!</p>
<p>Trust me Geneseo's still a party school.</p>
<p>What about SUNY New Paltz? It's such a cute little hippie town; I can imagine it being a lot of fun. It's supposed to be the most "internationally focused" SUNY, too. Does anyone know anything about the academics there?</p>
<p>"Trust me Geneseo's still a party school.".....I'm sure the bar scene there is still very strong but not nearly the "trouble" there used to be...frats getting banned from certain bars, etc. ...I bartended at the IB through grad school back in the day when the school wasn't so selective.</p>
<p>The best public college in New York for undergraduate business is the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell. Their Ag Economics program is wonderful. New York State dropped the ball after Rockerfella left office to become Vice President. The SUNYs are average...the state schools below that. Tuition has shot up but quality dropped. California should pay close attention to the problems NY has.</p>
<p>I'm also interested in SUNY New Paltz, they're admit rate is lower than I expected.</p>
<p>I've heard something about that Ag thing in Cornell. Like it's easier to get in. Is it harder for OOS? Can you study regular business there? My daughter is not interested in agriculture.</p>
<p>Some of the colleges that make up Cornell U are New York State endowed. That greatly reduces tuition for NYS students. I don't believe that improves chances of admission. The Ag college is endowed. It is not exclusively what you would think of as agricultural. Studies include biology.</p>

<li>Stony</li>
<li>Albany</li>

<p>note: the state funded schools at Cornell U are not SUNY schools. This is a common misconception. Rather, New York State gives money for new york state residents to attend these schools. SUNY cannot dicate anything as far as curriculum (or anything along those lines), unlike the regular suny schools. New york state doesnt pick the school's dean, Cornell does. A degree isn't offered from SUNY, it's offered from Cornell University. It's just a tuition break from the state of new york for new york state residents. Regular tuition plus room and board at Cornell is about $43,000. For new york state residents in one of NY state's land grant schools at cornell, the total comes to just over $32,000 a year. It's like $11,000 in free financial aid from New york state. </p>
<p>There is an undergraduate business program in Cornell University's school of agriculture and life sciences, it's called Applied Economics and Management. It's regular business, nothing agricultural about it (there's another major for that if you're interested). Admissions to this program (and any program at Cornell) is highly competitive, regardless of what state you're from. The fact that there's more new york state residents in the state-supported schools is a reflection of the fact that significantly more new york state residents apply to these schools to begin with (due to the reduced tuition). However, there aren't any quotas as to how many in state, out of state students should be admitted. The business program at Cornell is relatively new, but is ranked very high. Plus, it's the only certified business program in the ivy league, right after Penn's Wharton. The acceptance rate for students into the AEM business program at Cornell is 20%.</p>
<p>how about geneseo???? That is a great school homies.</p>
<p>university at buffalo is amazing for business, engineering, law, medicine, and pharmacy.... and also a very good liberal arts school. look up rankings, buffalo ranks in everything. </p>
<p>bing is good for liberal arts and ONLY liberal arts.
stony is good for their biomedical sciences
albany's good? since when?
buffalo = the place to be.</p>
<p>rara2388: You are soo right! People argue between Bing and Stony Brook and such but i believe Geneseo is better school overall. However, it's just a liberal arts school, so their business is probably non-existent.</p>
<p>Albany isn't even close to Buffalo in terms or quality.</p>
<p>would you rather take ...
CUNY Baruch or
SUNY New Paltz ? </p>
<p>i was also thinking about a reach for Cornell .. but i dont know if it is too much of a reach
i have a 3.7 UW GPA
and an 1800 ON my SATS
Some EC
and Some Community Service.
Nothing so "special"
BUT im gonna take all the APs my school offers, and also take College Now Classes .
Thanks for your time =]</p>
