2016-2017 SUNY - Buffalo Application Thread

Finally r-r-r-r-rejected, pre-II. Took them long enough!
+1
Same I think they're waitlisiting everyone at this point regardless of what they say
Same.
I am sure one of us got accepted. Although, one of my interviewers told me that the amount of seats is limited at this point and I should have a plan B just in case.
Realistically will waitlist movement be good or no?

Congratulations!!! I'm happy to see waitlist movement going on and even happier to see someone who waited since October getting accepted.
Thanks!! Was quite the wait, but worth it!
Rejected a couple days ago pre-II after being complete since July. The only SUNY to deny me an II, I wonder what the differences are in what they look at?
Congrats!! did you send them a letter of interest while you were on the waitlist?
Thank you! No I didn't, and I don't think they take into account update/interest letters post-interview anyway from what I've read.
I concur with this statement. Mr. Rosso has an amazing sense of humor!
Indeed he sure keeps you entertained
Wow, fast turn around. But seems like that's the trend here lately. Did they give you any indication as to % accepted off waitlist? Interviewing 4/12

Dr. Severin did say that UB has the fastest turnaround time of all schools. He wasn't kidding haha
When can we anticipate waitlist movement happening?
Dr. Severin said any time really, with the majority around mid-April to May. Last week 9 were taken off the waitlist. So there's hope!
How did you find out about 9 people being taken off the waitlist?
He told us the class wasn't full, so 9 people were pulled off the WL. Also the class size has been increased to 180 from 140, so I expect a fair amount of WL movement.
Thank you so much for the info!
Accepted! Interviewed yesterday. Buffalo here I come!

Congrats! Did they by chance let you know when the white coat ceremony will be during your interview day?

I'm going to guess Friday, August 18 based on past years. Hopefully they tell us soon
I don't recall an exact date, but Yungspleen sounds about right from what I remember!
White coat ceremony is Friday August 11th. I emailed Mr. Russo a while back and that's what he told me
Thanks!
Has anyone heard regarding FinAid packages and/or scholarships?
Anyone have any info on this?
I emailed awhile ago and unfortunately there is no second look. If you're dead set on Buffalo though, they have something called Housing Weekend setup in June to scout out places to live and meet some of your future classmates.

Congrats! Did you get a phone call or was it through email?
Thank you! By email
Hey Congratulations! when did you interview and would you mind sharing your LM?
My financial aid info is available on UB portal. However it only shows loans. I applied for some of their internal scholarships, but haven't heard word back from them yet.

Does your award/loans not also cover the full cost of attendance? I just checked mine and it does not...
