<p>Binghamton</p>
<p>My mother went there, my cousin goes there, and I plan on applying there along with my twin brother (I don't know if that helps lol).</p>
<p>Anyway, let me break it down for you guys.</p>
<p>Freshman year I attended public school and accomplished nothing. I was pretty much a C student with no intent to ever improve. Starting sophomore year I attended a private Jewish day school which is widely recognized as an excellent institution (although it's somewhat new). I'd like to keep the name private and my whereabouts private for safety's sake.</p>
<p>Sophomore year my avg. was 84.14 and junior year my average was about 86.5 (my school doesn't do or send gpa to college). My SAT scores are 410 on math, 560 on CR, and 600 on writing. I only took the SAT's once, didn't study at all, but I'm taking them again in October and plan to do much better. I know Binghamton doesn't look at writing, but could it help at all?</p>
<p>My school doesn't do class rank. The only sports I played throughout all of high school were JV basketball and baseball. I am on the student judiciary board which I guess looks OK for college. I don't have many extra curriculars. I was in guys a capella junior year. </p>
<p>All of my teachers loved me and off the top of my head there are five that I really want recommendations from, but I can't decide who would be the best choices...I also don't know how many I need. I haven't written my common app yet, so I should probably get on that. I have been dreaming to get into this school, and fwiw I don't live in NY.</p>
<p>I don't take or haven't taken any AP's. I took honors math freshman year but failed. I took honors English freshman year and got a C+ or B-, I don't remember. Again, I didn't care about academics at the time.</p>
<p>I'm trying to think if there's anything else I need to let you guys know about...</p>
<p>Oh, also: I took Algebra 2 junior year, and instead of having to take pre-calc senior year, I learned it this past summer with my tutor so I could take calculus this coming senior year. I'm sure that looks good for college.</p>
<p>I don't know where else to apply, but my parents want me to be in the northeast.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>P.S. I have no idea what to write about for my common app. Maybe about how I skipped pre-calc?</p>
