SUNY Binghamton is harder to get into than Cornell these days - it’s ranked as the best college for the money and I have to admit, it’s impressive. Thanks to its proximity to NYC, over 700 corporations come there each year to interview graduating students for jobs. In today’s economy, that will make it more in demand by potential students. Last year, when my S applied, only one in every ten applicants was accepted. I know kids from magent schools at the top of their classes who were rejected or wait-listed. My S was accepted to both SUNY Buffalo and Bingamton but he had 3.9 GPA, 2100 SAT’s, and all 4’s and 5’s on his eight AP’s.

That kid is up against stiff competition for Binghamton, Buffalo may be possible, but there are over 30 SUNY campuses and she can apply to several at once on the SUNY ap, so why limit herself? The SUNY schools are terrific value for the money and there’s one out there for every major imaginable.

Wish her good luck!
