Does anyone have any insight into what SAT score and GPA Binghamton looks for in applicants? I'm trying to figure out if my stats are competitive or not and if I should perhaps consider it as a safety school. Thanks!
In terms of raw statistics, it's essential to note that an institution like Binghamton University (aka SUNY Binghamton) has moderately competitive admissions. For the most recent application cycle, most accepted students scored between 1350-1470 on the SAT, and the average high school GPA was around a 3.9.
These are not hard-and-fast thresholds, though. Each application is evaluated holistically, meaning the admissions team takes into account the rigor of your high school courses, your personal essay, extracurricular activities, and other factors alongside your GPA and SAT score. And remember that these are averages and ranges, so students were accepted with scores and GPAs both above and below these numbers.
However, keep in mind that even if your stats line up with or exceed these averages, Binghamton should not automatically be considered a safety school. Admissions can be unpredictable and highly competitive, especially as application rates continue to rise. Instead, view it as a match school if your scores and GPA line up with these averages or as a reach if they're slightly below. Always remember to have a broad range of schools on your list—safety, match, and reach—to ensure you have options.
Best of luck with your college applications process!
