Is SUNY Geneseo really as selective as it claims?

<p>I agree with Erin’s Dad what Geneseo is doing is really no different than any other college…it’s all about enrollment management. Students graduate mid year or transfer out for whatever reason and this enables a college to back fill those spots. This keeps the college doors open and financially sound. </p>

<p>Geneseo most definitely doesn’t place 94% of their applicants in the fall or spring semester they don’t have the capacity to handle that. I think what the admission counselor was saying is that 6% of the applicants do not meet the minimal requirements for Fall admission which I believe is GPA over 90 SAT 1200. Students are much more savy with their college choices these days and self select schools that they believe they have a good chance of getting into. Geneseo tends to have a very competitive applicant pool but ofcourse you do have some students that apply with much lower scores and grades but for Geneseo that is a relatively small population. That is the 6% I believe they were referring to. </p>

<p>My daughter also has several friends who were accepted to Binghamton but rejected from Geneseo so it really just all depends…</p>
