<p>I thought for awhile that Binghamton had rolling admissions. (For Regular applications, not Early Action). I got a postcard saying that they would give me the decision as soon as possible. A week after that, I got an email saying that they got so many applications that they would need more time to look at my application. The email said that the decision would come between March 1 and April. Did this happen to anyone else, and what should I make of it?</p>
<p>I found out my acceptance by checking 'applicant status' on binghamton website.
why don't you go there and check</p>
<p>This is what I got: </p>

Thank you for your application to Binghamton University. </p>
<p>It is complete and will be sent to our Admissions Committee. This year Binghamton University received an extraordinary number of applications, which will necessitate a longer review period. To ensure a fair and thorough review of your application, we will be notifying you of our admission decision between March 1 and April 1. Thank you for your patience. </p>
<p>We appreciate your interest in Binghamton University.

<p>Jelda, did you apply this fall, and if you did, did you get in EA or regular?</p>
<p>Well, I sent mine by common app in mid december, and I sent my envelope in december 6th.... (Regular)
by the way,, Im an international student, living in Asia..
I went to their website and checked out application status..and it said that Im accepted..
Well,, I think it depends on which department you are applying to,, I applied for Electrical engineering (Thomas J Watson).</p>
<p>Hope you'll have a good news :)</p>
<p>hmm... i don't know why that is.</p>
<p>i sent in my stuff late december and heard back from them around january 14th.</p>
<p>I JUST got a yellow postcard saying that they received all my stuff and my application is under review... Too bad I sent mine out in the middle of November.</p>
<p>A friend of mine really wanted to go to Binghamton. She got accepted to UofR for ealry action, but was rejected from Binghamton last weekend, which i found as reallyr andom. However, thye did not receive her essay--she did send it--and sent it in again after they requested it. Do you think being late for the essay part, or was it the essay, per se, nulled it?</p>
<p>They shouldn't have made a decision without the essay, they should have told her that they were missing it, waited until they received it, then made their decision. Unless even if her essay was amazing, they still wouldn't have accepted her because all her other stats sucked... but I highly doubt it considering she was accepted EA to Rochester... Binghamton has gotten rather competitive though.</p>
<p>Yay... Even though I just received the yellow post card two days ago, I checked the website's application status check and found out I was accepted!</p>
<p>Congrats Jewls4786. The same thing happened to my daughter. She got a green postcard asking for mid term grades, then about a week later, the site was updated to congratulations. She didn't get her acceptance package until yesterday, about 2 weeks after the site was updated. It was a very nice letter, in a big envelope. In a seperate envelope she got an invitation to the Binghamton vs Boston U basketball game. I thought that was nice.</p>
<p>That is really nice... I haven't even visited Binghamton's campus yet which is weird because it's only an hour from where I live. Any comments on it?</p>
<p>I checked again online, and I found out that I got into my first college, yay! It's really weird how they say the decision will come in two months but give us the results so much earlier. Anyway, this was a relief.</p>
<p>yes, maybe you'll get into mensa too.</p>
<p>what's mensa?</p>

Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.

<p>Who are you saying will get into mensa, and why?</p>
<p>whoops, posted the same thing twice.</p>
<p>yay, i just got in! or actually, i just checked the website for the first time in a couple of weeks, so i could've gotten in a long time ago.</p>
<p>i am very excited for my first big envelope.</p>
<p>Allure, you shouldn't take your anger out on me on this board when you were made at me for something I posted in another board. I just realized why you said "maybe you'll get into mensa too." I didn't read what you read on the Harvard post before. (see post 115-116, 133-135)<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=30350&page=6&pp=20%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=30350&page=6&pp=20</a> </p>
<p>When I read that mensa160 said that people with low SAT scores would not cut it at HYPS, I found that to be incredibly rude. Seeing that mensa is a group of people who apparently take pride in the high IQ scores because they believe it means that they are more intelligent, I thought that "mensa160" shared the beliefs of mensa members. It would not take a leap of imagination to realize that a person who believes IQ tests measure intelligence would also believe that SAT tests measure intelligence as well. Mensa160 probably thinks that people with low SAT scores are not intelligent and would not be able to handle the academics at HYPS. </p>
<p>When I asked what else can you expect from a person whose name is mensa160, I thought it was clear that I was against what mensa160 was trying to imply. I was not supporting his belief! I was actually supporting what you said, but it is clear that you completely misunderstood because in the next post, you grouped me with mensa160, saying, "you and mensa are such humble people." I don't know how you came to this sarcastic conclusion. </p>
<p>By the way, I was not trying to patronize you by explaining what mensa is. That comment was an afterthought, in case other readers (not necessarily you, allure) were not familiar with mensa. I actually did not know about this mensa organization until a few weeks ago, and I was quite disturbed by it. Therefore, I thought that many others did not know about the existence of this organization. My point is proven by post number 14 up above: jewls asks what mensa is. Well, when I explained what mensa was on the thread at the harvard board, you said that I must have thought that you were a blithering idiot. Would that make jewls a blithering idiot since she doesn't know it either? I would think not. </p>
<p>I don't know who you are, but I thought it was kind of cool before that we were applying to practically all of the same schools. Now, your comments and your immaturity in dealing with one comment (e.g. treating me harshly in one board for what I said on another board) have really disappointed me because I now have a dimmer prospectus of what kind of students with whom I will be spending the next four years.</p>
<p>Sorry about the rant, but it was just really upsetting to realize what you thought about me and to realize that you were being rude when I didn't realize it when I read the post for the first time a week ago.</p>
<p>And congrats to Jenz.</p>
<p>suburbian, this is SUNY Binghamton 'Decision Schedule' thread, we don't need your explanation about mensa and all other craps.
