What does SUNY look for in prospective students?
Like every college and university, SUNY looks for students whose academic records show potential for success in college. In addition, SUNY looks for students who have a passion for something and or perhaps have demonstrated leadership skills or a commitment to helping others. Essays, teacher recommendations and extracurricular activities give admission officers a better picture of the whole student. There is no exact science to the admission process. We seek to admit the most intellectually prepared, diverse and talented class as possible.
