<p>Hello everyone.
I'm just about to start my senior year in high school and my counselor (and parents) want me to decide on a college very soon. I've been looking through all the SUNY schools and I have some in mind, but I just worry about my grades. They weren't terrible, I just kinda messed up my freshman and sophomore years.</p>

<p>I don't know what is exactly but I'm going to guess it will end up around an 88. In 9th/10th grade my avg gpa was around a 79 (I think). My junior year I started trying and brought it up to the high 80's for first three quarters, and a 92 in the last quarter.</p>

<p>I'll be graduating with close to 30 credits. I was in the honors program for math until 10th grade, I failed Trig. I completed Algebra one year early (in 8th grade), then completed Geometry Honors in 9th grade.</p>

<p>I was also in English Honors up to 10th grade (it changes to AP in 11th and I didn't take it.)</p>

<p>I have taken AP World 9 and 10, AP US History, and will be taking AP European History and AP Psychology this year. I got a 2 on the AP World exam and a 3 on the AP US History.</p>

<p>All my regents grades are mid 80's to high 90's, except fro Trig, which I failed, twice.</p>

<p>I haven't taken the SAT a second time yet, but my scores right now are 570 on math, 580 on critical reading, and 600 on writing.</p>

<p>I plan on majoring in Psychology and probable minoring in Philosophy.</p>

<p>Lately I've had my eyes on Oswego and New Paltz. What would you say my chances are? And could you recommend another SUNY school for me to look at?</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a good chance at New Paltz and are in at Oswego.
From the NP website…“This year, freshmen have a high school average of 91 and a combined SAT score of 1170.”
My son is a student at New Paltz and 2 of his housemates are psych majors. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>Yeah I read that on the NP site too. I’m just worried about my GPA. I’m hoping that I can do really good this year and keep my grades in the 90’s (yes, I have a full schedule) and that they just ignore my first two years of high school lol.</p>

<p>Also, what about Cortland? I’m assuming if I have a shot at Paltz I would have a chance there too. Anything anyone can tell me about the school or its Psych program?</p>
