<p>Yesturday I had applied for the EOP but one of my friends told me that EOP is for people that are really poor with their income and SAT score, and if the EOP rejects me, the process of sending out the application will slow down. Is this true? How can I fix the problem if it happens to reject me? I'm kind of afraid that it will affect my chance of getting in the colleges.</p>
<p>Good question.</p>
<p>If a student checks off the EOP box on the SUNY application, their application is read by the EOP review committee. Then, one of three things happens:</p>
<p>a) The student is overqualified for EOP academically, at which point they are automatically considered for regular non-EOP admission.</p>
<p>b) The student is qualified for EOP, at which point we request financial information to prove financial eligibility. If the student meets the financial eligibility requirements, then they may be offered admission to the EOP program; if they do NOT meet financial eligibility requirements, then the student is not offered admission to the university at all.</p>
<p>c) Or, unfortunately, the student does not meet the EOP academic criteria, at which point their application is no longer considered for admission at any level.</p>
<p>EOP is enormously beneficial to its students; it’s a wonderful program. But because of that, it’s also very competitive. Full eligibility details are here:</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>thank you so much.
in fact i’ve talked to my counselor today and he said that I’m overqualified for that program. I called the SUNY admission office and the person said I just need to leave a note on the app for my fee waiver saying to cancel it.</p>
