AP Lang and Comp: 5

Senior year I’m taking AP Lit and Comp and AP Gov and Politics. </p>

<p>EC’s:

  • Copy editor of my school newspaper
  • Secretary of Future Educators of America
  • I volunteer as an alter server at my church
  • Honors Choir for two years
  • Regions Choir for two years
  • NJ All States Choir senior year
  • Member of three choirs in my local conservatory, two are auditioned
  • I also study piano and voice privately
  • For the past three years, was an CIT at my sleepaway camp
  • I volunteered in Mississippi with my church for two summers to help many people recover from Hurricane Katrina</p>

<p>Good essay(s) and recommendation letters</p>

<p>I’m also from out of state (NJ), so would that increase my chances of getting in? I’m probably going to double major in music and English, if that helps.</p>

<p>I hate out-of-staters taking advantage of Bing’s low out-of-state tuition. Don’t apply.</p>

<p>OP: I’d be shocked if you didn’t get in…</p>

<p>sorry dude…but he/she not applying does not make it easier/harder for in-staters to be accepted…</p>

<p>I also think you have a good chance. And I agree wholeheartedly with rodney. NYers who are not admitted to Binghamton or Stony Brook or wherever are better advised to look at your in-state competition as a reason for the denial rather than the relative handful of OOS applicants. Just be glad Binghamton doesn’t follow the admissions practices of W&M or UVA.</p>

<p>“just be glad that binghamton doesnt follow the admissions practices of W&M or UVA”…yet…</p>

<p>Based on your stats, you have a very good chance of getting into Binghamton. It is an excellent school. You do not take away from any New Yorkers’ chances because the school must have a certain percentage of out of state acceptances! Unfortunately, the competition for in-state acceptance is harder because it is one of New York’s top state institutions. The same thing applies to any state for in-state acceptances! My son is currently attending Bing and LOVES it! We are from out of state and your stats match his! Best of luck with your search!</p>
