This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I got one and I'm nervous - it is my first choice! Anyone else?
 
congrats! I'm still waiting to hear back. It's also my number 1 choice. What was your OAT score if you don't mind me asking?
 
ahhh its my first choice too! i sent my application in mid-july and still have yet to hear back :/

I'm around the same...350 TS, 340 AA. When's your interview? Let us know how it goes 🙂
 
Anymore interviews from SUNY? I'm getting so impatient lol
 
My friend got an interview with 370 AA and 370 TS and a 3.12 GPA. He went to UCB.

You mean when was he notified he got an interview or when was he notified of his admission decision? I'm assuming you mean when was he notified he got an interview because it is much too early to hear an admission decision. He was notified of an interview yesterday (at least that's what he told me, but I believe him though).
 
Just got an interview invite from SUNY this morning.

lthomp11 how did your interview go?
 
I got one for SUNY this morning too.
Is it really as scary as they all say it is?
What is their point in asking you all your weaknesses? They obviously have already happened...
 
Congrats! When did you guys get emails saying SUNY received your application? I got one over a month ago but nothing since! 🙁

I got an email from them on 9/8 saying that they downloaded my app and were waiting on my supp fee. I paid that on 9/13 and got an email this morning 9/15 inviting me for an interview.

Btw, I submitted my app to OptomCAS 8/16 (verified and mailed 8/25).
 
Thanks for the info...hmm yea I think there's something wrong since I submitted my OptomCAS app in July and got the supplemental fee email August 12
 
My optomcas app was mailed to SUNY on 9/1.
I got an email saying they received my application on 9/8.
I got an email this morning (9/15) for an interview.
My stats are absolutely terrible so I have no idea what they looked for.
 
lol well good luck on your interview! I just emailed Dr. Philpott and he said my application is under review! So I should hear next week.
 
My interview went well! And I was accepted!

I do not think it was as bad as people say at all. Everyone was really nice! I had three interviewers and they were all really awesome. They definitely did not fire questions at me one after the other and I felt it was more conversational than an interview.

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations!
 
I just got an invite and scheduled my interview for Oct. 18th!
 
Hey people, does SUNY require SAT scores and AP scores? If so, did you guys just submit it directly to SUNY from collegeboard? Thanks.
 
Yes, SUNY requires SAT scores. I don't think they require AP scores. I submitted it directly from collegeboard to the school. (40 dollars total since they archive your score after one year from high school - super lame 😡)
 
How long does it take SUNY to get back to you once they downloaded your application? Or is a better way of asking: how long does it take once they receive everything (transcripts, recommendations...etc)

What exactly are your stats if you dont mind me asking? I take the OAT tomorrow and I'm considering SUNY but idk if my scores will be competitive enough. I'd love to know what you got on yours and gpa.
 
I send in my application 8/26, paid the secondary application fee on 9/8 and got a rejection letter in the mail today. Hopefully I hear better news from Nova & Pacific….

Good luck on Nova and Pacific, don't give up hope!
