<p>SUNY Binghamton isn’t a safety for Pumpkin96. EA round for SUNY Binghmaton this year was EXTREMELY competitive. I’ve seen my friends(from highly ranked high school in U.S. with great test scores of 2000+ and 3.8 UW) get deferred or even rejected. In addition, her regular course load with low UW GPA of 3.5 will just hurt his/her chances even more. </p>

<p>Spirral: I realize Bing is quite competitive nowadays. However, OP is full pay for international/OOS fees which always makes admission much easier - were your friends full pay? In state or OOS? In addition, EA tends to be MORE competitive than RD for internationals.</p>

<p>They were in-state(NY residents).</p>

<p>It all depends on the amount of financial aid you are asking (if any)</p>

<p>I was accepted Northeastern University last year (Honors program, business school). My tests were low 1760-SAT and 93 TOEFL. May be they liked my essays, I dont know :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh thanks…I just got accepted to Northeastern and SUNY binghamton so far! </p>
