A graphing calculator definitely helps a lot for the SAT Math Level 2 test, I would highly recommend getting one.
The TI-84 is not worth it though. Most of the people who recommend it do not know about Casio or HP and simply suggest it because they're only familiar with TI calculators. That's why TI is only popular in the US.
The Casio fx-9860GII is half the price of the TI-84, and has all the programs/functions required for SAT and SAT Math II preloaded (unlike the TI-84) along with a faster processor, better display and more space for programs (even though you won't need to program anything).
For less than the cost of a TI-84, you can even buy the fx-CG50 with a color display and 3D graphing capabilities, which just shows how overpriced the TI-84 is.
Even a used TI-84 is overpriced, because the fx-9860GII usually sells for the same price NEW.
If you want even more value, there is the fx-9750GII which is basically a fx-9860GII without a backlight (if you flash the 9860 firmware on the 9750).
It's still ~$20-$45 cheaper than buying a USED TI-84.
The Casio calculators are approved for use in SAT 1, SAT 2, AP, ACT, IB and A-Level exams internationally, so you will not have any problems regarding approval, at least in high school standardized tests.
Now, there are touchscreen calculators and/or a CAS (Casio ClassPad, HP Prime, TI-89, etc.) which are still cheaper than a TI Nspire (or even a new TI 84) but they are not allowed in the ACT, and may or may not come in handy while in college (depending on major, course and professors) so I would just go for the fx-9860GII or the fx-CG50 to be safe.

Debes estar mirando refurbisheds.
Buenos dias muchachada (No me peguen, ya me voy).
Calculadoras graficadoras para la facultad? Si, no, por que?
​
Dado a que mi calculadora cientifica no hace ni siquiera resolvente, estaba viendo de traer con Grabr una Casio FX CG50 pero no se.. ya veo que al final es una de esas pelotudeces que no necesito (Dicho sea el paso, hago ing informatica y en este momento estoy cursando Analisis 1). La otra opcion era traer algo mas sencillo como una Fx-115ES Plus o similar pero ahi ya no se si vale la pena con Grabr.
Edit: Y si tienen recomendaciones de modelos, se las tomo también.
