Anyone know how many students are taken off the HPA?

If I remember correctly/vaguely, on my Interview day the dean said that in all her years, a lot of people get taken off the hpa list, whereas she hasn't seen a whole lot getting off the other waitlist in over 7 years.

I second that.
 
It's on April 9th - they sent an email but I think it was only to the Upstate email address

Anybody know when financial aid packages are supposed to come out? I don't see a "financial aid" tab on MyUpstate.

This thread's slowed down. Is anyone else still waiting for their post-II decision?

Hey, my portal cleared on Tuesday. Now when I click "Fall 2018" it asks for my transcript and my preferred campus appears. Does this happen for everyone, even HPA?

I’m on the same boat interviewed 1st week of March and my application is under committee review. I know my friend said she just got in recently but interviewed before me.

Hopefully we hear back by the end of the month. I believe they told my group that was their goal. Good news for spring break? :angelic:

I’m just nervous it will be an automatic HPA (if not a rejection) because it seems like everyone recently has been placed on HPA. I’m praying there’s some spots left lol. I mean anything is better than a rejection and the wait is killing me!
 
Day after my interview I realize I was supposed to post a photo to the portal. I did so as soon as I realized my mistake, and emailed admissions explaining I didn’t realize I needed to upload a photo. They emailed back a ‘Thank you!’ Do ya’ll think this is going to effect my chances?

What is the second look at day?

It's a chance for accepted students to visit the campus and mingle with current Upstate students, ask questions, get to know the school more. There will be a student panel, as well as a campus tour. Hope that helps!
 
I noticed in the incoming student portal that a Financial Aid tab was added. Right now I can only see my COA, anyone have anything different?

I'm not seeing the financial aid tab. is it within the incoming student tab on the my upstate portal

It's its own tab on MyUpstate between "Student Accounts" and "Residency Information"
 
boucher152 said:
Did you already finish all of the incoming student tasks or something? also I sent in a picture and was supposed to get the groupwise email, but havent recieved anything yet...is this abnormal?
Click to expand...

No, I've really only submitted FAFSA. Don't know much about setting up the email - sorry :(

I submitted FAFSA a while ago, but I don't have that tab. :(

They're probably in the process of building out the portals ahead of filling in data for individual packages. Years prior, they released award info on/very near Mar 31.

The last thing of the day (campus tour) starts around 3:15. Depending on group/personal interest, it may be either before or after 4:00.
 
Just got HPA'd and it ain't even April 1st yet smh

It doesn't look like they've accepted anyone for a while. HPA is not a bad place to be! If you don't mind saying, when did you interview? I'm still waiting to hear back from mine.

I'd give my left nut for an acceptance. Really don't want to apply to jobs for a gap year right now.

Just came on here to say that. Glad to hear you received yours!

Wasn't sure if it applied to applicants (as I am a student).

Has anyone on HPA called/emailed to ask about their status yet (e.g. gray area vs spot reached last year, etc)? I know they said May, but just wondering if they let anyone know anything early.

I'm a bit out of the loop on this one, but I believe it will be more accurate once accepted applicants must finalize their desired schools. For us, it was something like mid-April. The admissions office will better know the situation for the fall at that time.

That being said, I believe they will still be able to let you know where you are on HPA (ie is it reasonable to assume that they could get to you) prior to that above mentioned date.

They're still reviewing the last of the interviewed applicants. The HPA won't be set in stone for another couple weeks, maybe.

Is it safe to say at this point it’s either Hpa or a rejection?
 
Did anyone see the Geneva scholarship in their package? - I just remembered they sent that sometime ago.
 
Just got HPA after portal cleared this morning. The wait continues!
 
A few people are getting in, some rejections, but many people placed on high priority list. That list isn’t looking promising, if so many people are in it.
