<p>Muffy- There are a lot of factors which affect those numbers. As kayf outlined, those numbers include not only EOP candidates and OOS kids, but athletes, INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS and art majors. I know for a fact at Binghamton if you are an art major (photography,theater, etc.), admissions is more lenient because one meets the criteria of “skill that enhances the Binghamton community”. Bing accepts tons of artsy&international kids to enhance their diversity.</p>
<p>kayf- I know a lot of kids that go to Geneseo and are going to Geneseo in the fall. I could easily go up there on the weekends. From what I hear, Geneseo does little on their part to ensure a smooth social transition but I think they fall into the majority in that category. I also heard from a student that transferred their last year in the spring say that the transfers register last for classes so the times are bad (I guess that’s what one has to sacrifice if they want to transfer). Geneseo itself told me they anticipate transfers and supposedly block some seats off in every class so that won’t happen. Makes sense, but I don’t know if one can believe that. Geneseo also told me that they would work with me and my community college to set all my courses up so I would transfer flawlessly. It is not so much the transferring I am worried about but the fact that all my best friends are going away to college in the fall so I’ll just be hanging out at the home with nothing to do. I also can’t stand the environment of my local community college.</p>
