This is outrageous.

Colleges and Universities A-Z Binghamton University - SUNY

<p>I was deferred from Binghamton. I applied as as a business management major.</p>

<p>SAT: 1310/1950
M: 680
CR: 630
W:640</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math IIC: 700
Spanish: 620</p>

<p>GPA: 94.2</p>

<p>This year I am taking AP Calculus AB, AP Economics and AP Psychology. My other classes (full schedule) are honors.</p>

<p>I am captain of the soccer team, in just about every honor society possible and am president of the soccer club.</p>

<p>I don't know what to say. Binghamton was my first choice.. I'm so upset.</p>

2

<p>I swear the more I hear about the deferred applicants, the more I wonder how the hell I got in. It's a mystery.</p>

<p>Did you have other EC's besides sports? And write a good essay/good recs? =/</p>

3

<p>no offense but the binghamton application system is absolutely terrible. they just do not know how to pick kids.</p>

4

<p>My essay was about above average, I'd say. My recommendations were stellar, according to my guidance counselor (I never saw them). </p>

<p>I am a member of NHS, and am in many honor societies. I have been working at the same job for a year and a half now and I started going to a senior citizen home EVERY sunday for 2-3 hours September 2006, just so I would be more appealing to colleges.</p>

<p>Just like... Wow. I don't even know what to think. Who knows what my parents are gonna say when I tell them... Money is a pretty big issue for my family and we all were expecting me to get in...</p>

<p>SAT: 1440/2080
M: 770
CR: 670
W:640</p>

<p>SAT II:
Bio: 680
Math I: 680</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7</p>

<p>Deferred. I'm stunned. I don't know how I didn't get in.</p>

<p>Flashpatch, did you indicate that Bing was your first choice on the supplement?</p>

<p>And when did you send your stuff in? </p>

<p>I'm sure you'll get in for RD. I think that for EA they took so many applicants in at first, that when more applications kept coming in, they ran out of spots.</p>

7

<p>Flashpatch, I was deferred too and I was nearly positive I'd be accepted..</p>

8

<p>Perfectedxchaos, I think I indicated that it was in my top 5 at the time, but since then, it has become my first choice...</p>

<p>I applied on November 1st, if I remember correctly.</p>

9

<p>I wonder how many of you deferred are males vs females. I have no foundation for this theory, but I wonder if first they accept the males since the usual breakdown in most universities is more girls, as seen in their statistics in every brochure I see.</p>

10

<p>the male/female splilt at binghamton is pretty even <a href="http://admissions.binghamton.edu/measureofexcellence.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.binghamton.edu/measureofexcellence.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>this also shows how the number of applicants has been steadily increasing while the acceptance rate has been decreasing.</p>

11

<p>I submitted all my stuff on Nov. 1st, but I had submitted it online earlier than that. I have a feeling it could have been that they got your stuff later, and it was already past when they capped it because of the record number of applicants this year.</p>

<p>I don't see why you won't get in regular decision.</p>

<p>And to multitasker, I know a male who got deferred. Though I DO know more females that got deferred. All the applicants that got in from my school (all three of us), are female. But more females may have applied from my school, not sure.</p>
