Geneseo
Binghamton
Brockport
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. |

| Binghamton
Geneseo
Albany
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. | |

| It also depends on the OP's intended major. For pharmacy, architecture, nuclear medical technology and some other majors, Buffalo is it. But for elementary or secondary ed, OP would have to choose another SUNY campus. Buffalo has the dental, medical and law schools if that's a factor. What size campus does OP want? That's another factor. | |

| Binghamton - hard to get into
Geneseo - also hard to get into
Buffalo - not that hard to get into but good rep.
New Paltz - getting really selective! had 17,000 applicants this year for 1,200 or so spots | |

| In response to gomestar's post, I know it's annoying when people refer to your school as a "SUNY" but Cornell does house a SUNY school in agriculture and life sciences so although it has much affiliation with SUNY, it doesn't make it an over all SUNY school. It is still a member of the Ivy league. | |

| Isn't Binghamton basically in the middle of nowhere? (Don't even get me started about Potsdam.) | |

| Posting here as a mom of a Long Island HS Junior. Our G dept posts "scattergrams" of student who apply (in a program called Naviance) From our HS, accepted students averages:
Binghamton: 95.36, 1287 Big university 12,000
Geneseo: 94.67, 1276 Smaller LAC 6,000
Stonybrook: 92.14 1198 Kiplinger listed as most unhappy students top ten
New Paltz 90.72 1151 Newsweek listed 25 hottest schools to watch
New Paltz is gaining attention because, as my S GC says, everyone on LI applies to Binghamton. They either want to go, or they are using it as a safety and want to go Ivy. From LI, Geneseo is too far and in the middle of nowhere. Stonybrook is depressing and too close. New Paltz is a cute town and the surroundings are pretty and it is not too far. The school, according to the Newsweek article is always updating itself. Purchase is a conservatory of the arts. Auditions make it seem selective, but it is not strong for the Lib arts. Alot of the SUNY schools are becoming more selective just because the pool of applicants is growing so quickly. They are a good deal, especially in a worsening economy. | |

| Our HS naviance shows New Paltz way harder to get into than Buff or Albany and maybe even Stony Brook. It's absolutely soared this year bc of Newsweek "hot school" ranking. | |

| Geneseo is the most selective SUNY, but it is always ignored....=_=, why? | |
