I wonder how long it takes the portal to update. In the application summary, it is blank even though I submitted today. I did not pay because I have the fee waiver (instructions for FAP applicants were confusing to me; it said to email admissions in the secondary, and on the final page it says you are complete if you have the fee waiver; I emailed just in case), so I am guessing that seeing an update will take a couple of business days to see any changes. Will try to provide update in case someone is in a similar boat
 
Thanks robotfinches! This is helpful information. I will have to check back on Monday.
 
No one has gotten II yet? I feel little special here!! I hope you guys start getting them soon
 
Quick question to anyone. I received a complete email but when I check the application summary, the note tabs says "LOR - PDF Load" for the recommendation letters, "CC" for the application fee and "Supplemental Load Process" for the secondary application but none of the tabs say anything under status. Is this normal?

You are the II GOD this cycle and it's not even Sept.
What's your secret?

Lol thanks! But theres no secret, maybe a combo of good luck

But I did write very authentically maybe that helped. Write at the middle school level with clear and directs words and back every statement up.

Don't BS anyone! They can smell it

Congratulations!

Did you receive an email when you were complete? Everything in the "status check" is filled out (LORs received, supplemental application received, etc.), but the column for 'Status' is blank.

Hmm I don't see a column for status... would you mind pointing me in the right direction??
 
II!!!! No email but updated portal. I remember checking an hour ago and there was no change to my status so this definitely happened very, very recently! :nod:

I am so confused. When I go to my portal, it has the status' on the right hand column but there is nothing there… It's just blank

I actually received the email then checked and saw the portal. Weird

This school has horrible out of state chances post-interview! Last year showed 130 OOS interviews with only 7 matriculants. Why would they put me thru an MMI to then waitlist me?? +pissed+

Do you mean you were waitlisted last year or are you just going off the MSAR?

At least you have the II already. I'm IS and in full on "waiting with baited breath" mode. Of course, I was marked complete 7/26 so I imagine it'll be weeks at minimum if I'm going to hear anything. I'd love to attend this school, though. And I really like upstate NY.

Actually the dean told us last year that after you make it to the interview point, everyone has the same chances regardless of location of residence. I think they had so low OOS matriculants because of applicants' choice.

Also, remember most OOS that get accepted to this school most likely have even better chance of getting accepted to their own state school, which means they ultimately dont matriculate to SUNY upstate. Hence such a low matriculation rate for OOS isn't surprising

I was complete July 20! I only got the update through the portal, and I didn't check it yesterday. Could have gotten it then.
 
II but no email. I would've never thought to check otherwise, I wonder how many people not on SDN have interviews and don't know it

Agreed. I didn't even get my email confirmation of my interview date and time until 6 hours after submitting the selection

just curious, does anyone know if this school do silent rejections?
 
I wonder if SUNY-U considers Canadian students "out of state". According to the MSAR, they only interviewed 5/494 international students and 3 matriculated.
 
It's weird that I know who the 2 that didn't matriculate are... #TooMuchTimeOnSDN

First II! Thank you to everyone who said to check the portal, because I didn't get an email but got the "Congratulations for being selected for an interview!" change on the portal as well. I received a completion email on 7/29, IS.

First and foremost, congratulations on your interview!

Do you guys mind sharing your [vague] stats? You can remain give general ranges if you'd like.
