I would really like to get into SBU but I believe my chances are pretty slim if not none.
I have a 3.26 (weighted) gpa
I’ve take one ap in my sophomore year and am taking one this year
I don’t have much job/volunteer work
With one more chance at taking the SAT is there any chance I can get in with say good letters of rec, solid college essay, high SAT score or should I look to apply elsewhere.
You’ve maybe got a small outside chance if you get a test score above their 75th percentile (1420/32) and do everything else perfect. It’s worth a shot, but you need a realistic safety and match just like a kid with a 4.0 would. Good luck!
Typically when a school says residency is considered, that means in-state. It’s in the CDS. I actually found links that said - SUNY prefers out of state. One never knows.
As long as you have some safeties, go for it and good luck. You’ll end up at a great school whether it’s SBU or otherwise.
