I’m going to be a senior this year and I want to apply for a few SUNYs (Albany, Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton, maybe Buffalo State) as a math major for fall 2011. However, based on what I’m seeing and at the school’s websites, my chances are slim.

GPA : UW 82.0 (I think that’s a 2.8 on a 4.0 scale) and W 86 (3.1 on a 4.0 scale)?
SAT Scores : Due to being sick I wasn’t able to take it in June, but my projected will be 610 (CR) 550-600 (M) 480-520 ( W)
Type of High School : Rigorous Catholic High School
Course Rigor : I took Honors English for grades 9-10 and will be taking AP English senior year. Also, I have taken Honors Science for grades 9-11 and will be taking AP Bio senior year. I’m taking Pre-Calc senior year since I have just finished Algebra II/Trig.
ECs : 100 + of Volunteer work ( which includes working at a hospital and school tutorial program. Also includes non-recorded hours at a local soup kitchen), Spotlight Supervisor of the school’s technical crew for all school functions
Other : Female, GPA is on an (slight) upward trend, I did bad in physics (got a D+ even though I tried my best to raise it) but I don’t know how I will explain it in my essay, applying to HEOP program, First-Generation Student, Lower-income. Essay is about how the school tutorial program helped me to realize how much I loved math.

Thank you so much. :)
