SUNY at Binghamton Admissions
Binghamton University is searching for a diverse group of academically gifted young students to be their future graduates. Binghamton considers five different factors in the admissions process. In order of importance they are: academic performance (grade point average, courses completed, class ranking, and test scores), supplemental materials (personal essay, school activities, special talents or abilities), special circumstances or motivation, recommendations (at least one from a guidance counselor or teacher), and SAT II scores (not required, but recommended). Student must be approaching high school graduation, and there are no particular grade point average of test score requirements. Students with particular talents my have a special review by the department where they plan to study (music, art, etc.). Because admissions practices are intentionally targeted toward well qualified students, applicants often come to Binghamton with Advanced Placement credit. UB will accept such credit, provided the applicant scores 3 or better on a particular AP exam. Of the current freshman class, the combined SAT average was 1250 (compared to the national average of 1026). More than 80% of current freshman graduated in the top quarter of their high school graduating class. The average freshman had a high school grade average of 92%.
