Hey everyone! You know the score, post your stats, extracurriculars, etc. and your admissions decision as well as the college you got into. Good luck!
Does anyone know when the first decisions will be coming out?
@jgalls I believe January 15th
so…anyone an ops student? I am not, so my chances of getting accepted are quite slim…
I think EA applicants are supposed to hear BY January 15th but some will hear BEFORE Then. Looks like last year applicants started receiving notifications starting in mid December.

Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I’m well above the academic profile for Binghamton, so I s’pose that’s why they admitted me (especially so early!!)
General Comments: Totally surprised that I heard back so early. SUNY Binghamton is my safety school, so the acceptance isn’t really lifechanging, but since it was my first acceptance so far, it’s nice to know I’m at going to college now! Good luck to the other EA applicants; hopefully you’ll hear back soon! 
Last Year, Early Action (EA) decisions were released in two batches (which differed from prior years when all EA decisions were released at one time). The first batch was released on December 11 or 12 (only accepted applicants, those with the highest stats heard) and then again around January 10 (most of the rest of the Early Action applicants were deferred then). The deferred EA applicants started receiving final decisions around March 6 and decisions continued to be released daily until April 1. From the poster above it appears that EA decisions this year are beginning a week earlier than last year! Good luck to all EA applicants!

Weaknesses: GPA, demonstrated interest
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: My strengths outweigh the weaknesses
Congrats to all acceptances. How did you hear by email or by mail? My D is waiting to hear and her stats are very similar to behaveneuronerd
D received vague email saying “there have been updates to your application.” When she clicked through the email, she landed on a congrats you have been accepted page. Strange way of announcing an acceptance.
Nice job but are all the early accepted students out of state?
I haven’t seen any in state kids getting accepted yet
I checked my daughter’s high school Naviance and nobody in-state has indicated an acceptance yet. And she reports that none of her 1000-plus Facebook “friends” have posted any announcements of acceptances to Binghamton yet. So my guess is decisions will be made in-state by this Friday. Last year the first wave of EA decisions in-state occurred around Friday dec 10. This board lit up with hundreds of posts last year after decisions were posted, which hasn’t happened yet.
My daughter’s high school Naviance shows about 50 students applying with no one indicating an acceptance as well. . Hopefully they will let everyone know on Friday.
I’m in-state, so there goes the Friday theory. Here’s some of my abbreviated stats-
