What are my chances into getting into SUNY at Albany

<p>I have a 2.9 GPA, but it was because I had to move to a new state my junior year and it affected my grades alot. Without that my GPA was about a 3.2. I have a 930/1600 on SATs. please help!</p>

<p>I do not think you will get in but it is certainly worth trying. Have you considered Atarting at a CC and transferring? You can also try SUNY Plattsburgh, Potsdam, or Cobbleskill.</p>

<p>do you know their average GPA? why do you think I won’t get in?</p>

<p>The bottom 25% of SAT scores is 1030… You have a 930 which I would guess is around the the bottom 10%.</p>

<p>You might… Do you have naviance? I would apply and tell my story about changing schools. I don’t know anybody who got in with a 2.9. You really need about a 3.4, but again you never know.</p>

<p>so does that mean I have a chance? would they take consideration to me moving half way high school? and do recommendations help?</p>

<p>do you know anybody with a 2.9 that has applied?</p>

<p>Of course you have a chance. This school seems like a reach but kids get into reach schools all the time. I think you need to tell them your story since this explains your GPA. Good ECs and recs will help as well. Have you considered other schools also?</p>

<p>Anything is possible. Kids from my daughter’s high school got into Syracuse with a 3.0 even though NAviance said 3.7, and my friend’s daughter got into JMU with a 3.2 even though Naviance said 3.7. Go for it but have a back up.</p>

<p>Cobleskill is for you if you want to do agriculture-related majors…</p>
