My daughter applied EA. She was deferred. She had a SAT 1400 GPA 3.7. Another student in her school who is in a special help class where they get extra time and take less rigorous classes . My daughter is devastated! She worked so hard & took honors classes and lots of AP’s and she just feels so let down. She feels like she worked so hard & this other girl not so much. What exactly is their admissions process? How do they determine who gets in and who doesn’t. I understand the need to take a variety of different students but I am just scratching my head. My daughter applied to 14 schools and got in all the top SUNYS. She just received an acceptance from Binghamton for Spring? I mean really spring?
What program did she apply for? It might have been the extracurriculars that ruined her. The Eop program at sunys is ridiculous. It lets low income kids get into the school even though their stats are far below average. I know tons of mediocre students with 3.0 gpas and 1200 sats that got in just because of this program and it’s ridiculous
