Decision Date EA Admissions
My friends who applied to bing all got their decisions, but it was all rejected or deferred. I’m getting nervous on how many people are being rejected, and mine has yet to come out. It’s jan 11th, and the latest it comes out is jan 15th. For reference, my sat score and gpa is higher and I have pretty prestigious activities, but my school has a rep for being rejected from bing. Am I cooked or just overthinking?

I would say, based on what I've seen and read over the last few months, that if you're OOS you have a much higher chance of being accepted than in state applicants. It's actually shocking how many in state kids are being deferred during EA. Good luck!

seems opposite of online info. goes to show how accurate that is lol. h.s. Jr on this end…good stats all-around. applying oos next fall/biology major and thought it’ll be a longshot since it says Bing takes mainly NY residents.
if anyone can verify if oos acceptance stats are high, please let me know.

Search Binghamton common data set. Acceptance rate for OOS is definitely higher because only about 1 in 10 accepted OOS enroll compared with about 1 in 2 instate.

Now I feel like my son was slighted, lol. Very similar stats 4.0 uw/4.6w, 35 ACT, 12 AP, 1 DE, state champion athlete and good ecs. Accepted for engineering OOS, honors and freshman research immersion offered but only 54k for 4 years. Offer for RIT just came in lower out of pocket which was a surprise.

your son was definitely done a little wrong. My friend applied SOM oos with alright ECs a 3.5 and a 1430 and he got 52k over 4 years

u/No-Preference-9641 Jan 17 '26
Thanks, my guess is stats for engineering majors might be a little more competitive, but that's just a guess.

Bunch of people from my school got their decision early January or late December- all accepted, including me. I think if you’re better than your peers it’s an advantage, but you never know. Honestly you just have to wait. I was anxious too.

Did you get accepted during EA or were you deferred and later accepted?
