The program at UB is old but this year they changed it totally by increasing the number of seats from 4 to 16-24, by reducing the program length to 2 years from 3 earlier and extending the program to foreign nationals as well. The financial form they mention is a 2-3 page form in which you need to write your source of funding (sponsor details) and attach documentation supporting the same such as copies of bank statements of your sponsor. The amount should be sufficient enough to support the cost of education and living expenses for 1 year. In other words, it should be equal to or greater than the amount they mention in the tuition, fees and other costs incurred during the 1st year of IDP (Junior year).
I think they have not yet revised the webpage completely because the you or anyone cannot show that amount of money in your bank accounts. They should be made aware of that. They are implementing the policy they have for Master's Programs for IDP.

thank you so much for the information. I hope it does not sound stupid, but do you have any idea regarding the fee. how can we show like 80,0000 or more in bank accounts. 😕

They have not yet finalized the amount so the financial form is not there on the website. In any case, I do not think that you will need to show that much amount in the bank. It would be under $70,000 for 1 year. This in itself is a huge amount so we all need to talk to the school regarding the same.
 
@ drsrn,

Thank you so much for the info, I wouldn't have known if not for your post.

Yes, i asked them about this, they said they had no clue about the fee this year. but we should talk regarding such amounts. one can have property worth something like this, but they dont accept that. it should be in your accounts or from your sponsor. who's gonna sponsor this amount for us.

anyways, are you gonna go ahead with the application asap or wait for their financial documents?

They say that they are working on it. So, they also dont know anything. Thats the best answer that they have for all our questions. They also dont know what will be on the bench exam or in the case study. I am very sorry to say that these guys are super lazy and if you see their criteria a few of them have been copied ditto from NYU's website which is ridiculous.

You are so true!! Some uni. don't take it seriously. I mean their application date has arrived and still they are running behind the time!! That's ridiculous.
So what are you guys doing? Have you applied or waiting?

the site clearly mentions apply with all the documents, and the lady on phone said apply with rest of docs n send financial form when it is available. one needs to check before applying, if they meet all your requirements. its like 60 something $ to caapid n $75 to univ.
i have no idea what to do. what do you guys say? 😕
