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

I'm pretty sure you can become a NY resident after first year.

Does anyone know how much institutional/need-based aid Stony give?

 

[snail12345]

And anyone know when we get aid packages?

Wondering this as well. Can any current students speak to this?

 

[Giraffe_Funk]

Like this if you’re eagerly awaiting response from a 3YMD interview 🙂

What specialty did you interview for and have you heard back?

 

[XALT]

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?

Lol I registered for an account and tried to get the activation code through mobile text but account got locked so they now have to send me the code through paper mail...

Here's the waitlist info from MSAR fwiw. And last year, WL movement started 2nd week of May.

Typical number of waitlist positions per cycle
~300
Number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on the waitlist
65
Waitlist procedures and information
Our process is on a rolling admissions cycle.

 

[undecided4evr]

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.

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!

 

[Camou_Cat]

Would like to know the same! Non-Canadian international on the waitlist here 🙁
I’ve been anxiously checking SDN since Monday...

 

[undecided4evr]

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...
