<p>Sorry for posting the New Paltz 2009-2010 common data set. This is the most current CDS they have posted on their website.</p>
<p>[State</a> University of New York at New Paltz: Undergraduate Admissions - Admissions Criteria](<a href=“http://www.newpaltz.edu/admissions/freshman.html]State”>http://www.newpaltz.edu/admissions/freshman.html)
^here is some New Paltz 2010 data from their website</p>
<p>NP–For freshmen accepted to the fall of 2010 class, the mean SAT is 1190 (CR & M).
NP–For freshmen accepted to the fall of 2010 class, the mean high school average is 92.0.</p>
<p>Compare this to the Oneonta freshman profile:</p>
<p>Oneonta–High school average: 91.1
Oneonta–Average SAT score: 1134 (Critical Reading/Verbal and Math portions only) </p>
<p>New Paltz and Oneonta are pretty equal when it comes to the stats needed to gain admittance. I assumed the OP is a male (screen name starts with-Allen). If so, the OP probably has a better shot at New Paltz where females outnumber males by quite a bit. It’s still a reach. If the OP is female, New Paltz will be tougher than Oneonta.</p>
<p>The OP’s lower GPA makes both of these schools a bit reachy. The OP has only taken 2 AP classes—AP Gov and AP Environmental Science (neither are considered difficult relative to the core AP’s). Both Oneonta and New Paltz should be categorized as reaches.</p>
