Why are the SUNYs ranked so low?

SUNY may well be looking at this from a system-wide standpoint. Yes, an increase in international admissions at the university centers may be ‘bumping’ some in-state students out of those schools, but those students can then fill seats at Cortland, Oneonta, New Paltz, etc. A few students may be bumped from those schools down to Brockport, Oswego, etc., and on down the line. Eventually SUNY will possibly retain many of these students and fill empty seats in some of its lower-rung schools, while also increasing the selectivity at SBU, UB, U-Albany and Bing and making these schools more attractive to in-state students who have choices and maybe OOS kids also.
