<p>Ok, so im prolly gonna go with a state school cause they’re cheaper than private. Problem is i dunno what i wanna do. So my question to you is, what are the top 3 SUNY schools in order. Take in account everything that one might look in for colleges. I prefer schools on the larger side but im flexible.</p>
<p>BTW: Im looking for a school that might give me the opportunity to go on to grad school or at least give me a good education. I like to party a bit too, but foremost, i wanna make sure i get education for a future.</p>
<p>anyway regarding cornell- when most people talk about sunys they arent looking for sunys that are very hard to get into. cornell college of agricultural and life sciences is much harder to get into than the hardest suny</p>
<p>Hmm...i was hoping there would be a trend of some sort. But yeah, i'm not really a star student. i couldn't make it into Cornell most likely. Princetonreview said that Geneseo would be a good match but i saw a couple things i didn't like about it, maybe you guys can comment.</p>
<p>The people that go there mostly already know what they want. Not alot of switching around of majors. The people that go there go to study. The college representative said theres not really anywhere to go or anything to do. Education if the most important to me, but i think that the social aspect of college will be important too(and fun)</p>
<p>And another question. Ok, heres the deal, my family doesn't have all that much money, so i got 3 choices.</p>
<ol>
<li> Go to SUNY school, then have money left over to go to a grad school.</li>
<li> Go to private school and only get 4 year education.</li>
<li> Got to private school, then go to grad school, and graduate deep in debt.</li>
</ol>
<p>Are the 4 year schools as important? If i went to say Binghamton, and kept pretty good grades, then got further education, would i do ok job wise?</p>
<p>bobdaman14, if you listed your potential major I missed it. The SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry College (ESF) at Syracuse might worth looking into. There are some majors offered in biology, engineering, resource management; they are on the same campus as private Syracuse University and can take courses there too.</p>
<p>The other alternative to SUNYs are schools that offer merit scholarships, both private and out of state publics (such as Clemson, Ohio State, Ohio U.).</p>
<p>Cornell isn't suny. Not in any way shape or form. SUNY schools have state selected gen. ed. requirements. Cornell doesn't. Nor is it a 'state school.' New York State funds for NY state students to go there since they believe that these schools/majors are especially beneficial to the state. Even so, it still costs $31,000 for students to go there in the end (as opposed to $40,000). </p>
<p>I applied to Geneseo ED, just the best buy for me. I did albany EA as well, really bing should be above albany but I just dont like the place. Geneseo is the best hands down</p>
<p>If you want to think for a while, why not a higher quality community college that would put you in place to transfer into a school like Cornell. I think Cobleskill sent students to the Ag and Life Sciences school, I suspect others would do that as well. What you would need to do is pick your classes well, get great grades and start the transfer application process to try to get in sophomore year, or after you pick up an AA degree. Just a thought....it is the back door into an IVY degree. and it is the cheapest route.</p>
<p>it's still very very competitive to get into cornell as a transfer. Acceptance rate is around 30%. </p>
<p>it's quite easier for schools like binghamton. I know some people that totally sucked in high school, did very well at a community college for one semester, and got into binghamton.</p>
<p>bobdaman14: One of the GCs at our HS said that University of Maine (Orono) is seeking out-of-state students because the college-age population of Maine is declining. They do offer merit scholarships. Its good to apply to a number of potential merit schools because you never know which if any will come through.</p>
<p>Look up the stats online. SUNY admission - Quick facts . Brockport is the nicest, best campus, best technology, and by far rated for the best food. I go to Geneseo - small. I visit Brockport and it is unbelievable. Don't comment unless you have been there.</p>
<p>I haven't researched any of these personally at all. This is what I gather from name recognition and where certain kids that I know wind up going, etc. For science, Stony Brook would definitely be on that list. For arts/music I think Potsdam and Purchase should be there.</p>
