Does anyone have the class of 2027 academic calendar in here or know when orientation and classes start?
 
Just called admissions. Class is full but she said that there is always a chance of someone dropping out and a spot opening up. Good luck to everyone on your journeys <3
 
I emailed them a few weeks ago to update my interest, and their direct response to that email was that my application had been withdrawn. Then after emailing them to clarify I received no response.

I can pay money, write secondaries, invest my time interviewing, and wait seven months with zero update from them, but they can't even treat me like a human being. I've gotten plenty of good and bad vibes from many schools over the past year, which is fine, but this experience seemed genuinely malicious.

Another comment I'll add is that the practice of having a priority waitlist without mentioning that to the applicants on the regular waitlist is, for lack of a more creative word, ignorant. I hope they revise that practice in the future. Sometimes applicants will hesitate to send a LOI to program A because they're also interested in program B. If a student knows that program B is not seriously considering them (low priority waitlist), then that can be closure enough for them to send the LOI to program A, and possibly have a good outcome. Not disclosing this information to applicants is harmful.

I'm sure Renaissance is lovely. I just hope for future applicants' sake that the admissions office receives more or better training.

(I never rant, because no one cares, but today is the last day of my applications cycle and I decided to make an exception to get this off my chest. I have nothing against Stony Brook in general, and I imagine they'll be in my applications for residency in four years. I'm just sharing because I think the way they behaved was absurd, and if anyone else had the same experience I'd like you to see this and not feel so alone. Ultimately, that kind of behaviour is frightening to me, and I really hope I never become the kind of person that is so numb to my job and my daily interactions with people, that I stop treating others the way I'd like to be treated.)
