Man the financial aid office/person here is the most unhelpful out of all the schools I've talked to. Pretty much told me on the phone that she has no idea whether I could declare for NYS residency during my 1st year and that I should ask someone else :lame:
I'm pretty sure you can become a NY resident after first year.

And anyone know when we get aid packages?
We should get aid packages next week; they're really busy this week processing everything since all institutional aid apps are due this week. Last I was told when I was on campus was April 9th - 16th. They also said aid is some combination of need and merit. As for how much aid, I have no idea but they recommend you request an anticipated aid package when you send the institutional financial aid application in
 
For the institutional aid app, did anyone have trouble obtaining the IRS transcript online?

I'm pretty late to this but I will be matriculating to the MSTP :) Interviewed 2/14 Accepted Mid-marchish (official letter came by the end of march but the crew gave me a heads up it was on its way) Can't wait for the facebook group to be made so I can find some roomies! Anyone like chihuahuas (I have a sweet one named Sugar).
 
Does anyone know how many people are accepted from their waitlist and when waitlist movement starts?

according to last years thread, they sent out an email asking if people were still interested in being on the WL before accepting them. Did anyone get something like this yet?

No, I have. But last year right after traffic day they emailed people who they were going to accept off the WL to make sure they were still interested at this point.
 
Withdrew my acceptance today to accept another school. Hope it goes to one of you guys :) Good luck everyone!

LONG time lurker, but made an account so I could reply to you. I got off the waitlist today, so I know there was some movement. Good luck to you!
Do you mind saying when you interviewed? Also did you recieve a call or email
 
Hi all! Excited waitlisted Canadian here! Totally enjoyed my interview day! Just reaching out to find out what the acceptance rate for Canadians off the waitlist? I am guessing that we are not OOS but International? Any hope is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Would like to know the same! Non-Canadian international on the waitlist here :(
I’ve been anxiously checking SDN since Monday...
 
Has anyone called to inquire about movement and/or their spot on the waitlist? Do you know if they are receptive to those types of calls?

I called on Monday. Barbara picked up and she didn’t disclose anything :( She basically told me to wait patiently...
