Hi Mekkuh93–

Bing, Buffalo & Albany may be a stretch for you, but you have a shot.

Stony Brook should be more of a match but you may only have a 45-55% chance.

If you improve your ECs & have good recommendations, you should be a good candidate for SB.

CUNYs, on the other hand, I’d suggest you try John Jay and/or City College.

I’m from the city as well, but I go to Forest Hills.
I’m sort of in the same boat as you, only my SAT score was a 1700 (1080 CR+M)
I’ve interned, volunteered and my GPA unweighted falls in the 2.9-3.0 range (I’m not sure). I’ve also worked in my junior year. Active in two clubs at school and rec letters should be no problem.

My choices of schools are:
Ohio University (not Ohio State!)
Rutgers
Stony Brook
St. Joseph College (all girls school in CT)
Syracuse

^ I realize that Rutgers & OU might be reach schools for me.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

CUNYs: my safety schools:
Brooklyn, John Jay, City
