<p>New Paltz is a pretty high reach for you. The SUNY’s are like many other other public state universities. They rely on the numbers–test scores, gpa, followed by rigor of curriculum.
Your test scores AND your gpa are well below the 50% group at New Paltz. You also didn’t mention any AP classes so the rigor of your curriculum may also be on the lower end. Did you take 3 years of lab science, 3 years of foreign language, and math at least through the pre-calc. level? </p>
<p>The 2009 freshman profile for Oneonta==average hs gpa of 90 and your test scores are below their average.
