It's not on the main page, it's when you click into the application where it has your info, name, etc.. At the bottom it shows when they received your secondary and payment, but does it also show a spot for transcripts?

Mine has LOR, Secondary fee received, and supplemental application received only. I don't see anything about transcripts. Best of luck!

did you get good news @Monophasic?

I haven't heard anything yet, and there's nothing on the main page that says "you've been accepted" or anything like that. All I noticed was that on the page that shows the LOR, secondary fees, and supplemental application that it also now has a spot for "College Transcript" and it lists the name of the schools I've attended. Not sure what this means -- I'm just waiting!

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.
 
Does Upstate offer any merit scholarships/aid? Like completely need-blind?
 
Well I got an email from Certiphi this AM asking me to fill in details for a background check. I still haven't heard anything from Upstate via email or portal, and Upstate is the only school I am waiting to hear from post-II. I guess it's just more waiting...?

Accepted via portal just now.

I went from pre-II hold, to an II, to interview attended, to accepted in two weeks.

Anyone who is reading this on pre-II hold, know that there is still a chance!

Congratulations! You must be beaming!

Omg!!!!!
 
As anyone who had their portal cleared this week received a rejection? My portal cleared on Monday and nothing yet.
 
For those on the waitlist does it say anything in the portal? Were you told by email or snail mail?

Welp, I'm in this position now. And considering you got good news the day after... fingers crossed, I guess.

Yes, if you have the added "college transcript" lines, it means you're accepted it seems. Congrats!

I found out that I was put on the HPA list by e-mail. My portal is empty. Maybe try calling admissions? Rooting for you, wishing you good luck!

Thanks. Hoping I at least made the wait list. When did you interview? I already called. They were reluctant to tell what decision they made.

Congrats!!! They pull a number of students from there later (my interpretation during the interview).
 
@GetSchwifty congrats on the HPA, welcome to the party! As far as I know they have said that they reach around half of the list most years, with some variation from year to year. Also in May, when the list is final, they will give you an idea of your position on the list if you call.

Best username ever, by the way.

I interviewed on 1/13, and got put on the waitlist about a week ago. That's too bad they didn't share any info :/ Hope you hear good news soon.

@21Rush12 Sweet, that's encouraging! Thanks, I love Rick and Morty it's such a funny show
 
Did anybody who interviewed on 1/27 receive anything yet (portal/email/letter)?
 
Has anyone received any word on financial aid or housing yet?
 
i will venmo someone here money if they tally how many people posted getting accepted vs HPA list. also im getting the impression that basically nobody gets put on the LPA list and the HPA is just like a regular waitlist

my memory is a bit foggy on this, but I thought we were told if you were on the HPA list you have a decent chance, but basically not at all on the low priority. I also remember people commenting that their waitlist movement varies a fair bit from year to year..

for what it's worth, my spot will likely go to someone else, but still waiting on other things before i decide.

I distinctly remember them saying at my interview that for the past couple years, they haven't really taken anyone off the low priority, and just a few from the high priority.
 
Has anyone on this thread even been placed on LPA though? Perhaps sampling bias but still..

ya thats what im saying. i have not seen a single person here get placed on low priority. and ive heard so much variation on the HPA list. people saying almost everyone comes off, to roughly half come off, to only a few come off

cardz whats your status at this school? i remember talking to you on downstate thread as well
