Does anyone know how long they take to make a decision? fall 2017 applicant
It looks like last year people started hearing mid to late November, so that’s what we are expecting.
As far as app status goes, once you send your Common App and supporting docs to Buffalo you enter a black hole. No information at all. No status page, nothing. When you call, they are too busy to answer so you leave your name and number and…nothing.
Their website says, if we need anything from you we’ll email you so it’s your responsibility to watch for emails - lol.
Honestly, they literally take forever. In my case, I applied to UB around November and didn’t get an acceptance letter for almost 5 months. Many people I know got their acceptances in about 2 months average, but UB doesn’t seem to follow any pattern in regards to who gets their decision when.
Just got accepted! Good luck 
@travisn326 How did you find out?
I received an email and a text message from UB @STEM2017
@travisn326 Congratulations!
just got accepted as well
I got accepted today! So excited
Just got accepted into UB and the honors program!
I didn’t get any email today 
does it mean I got rejected?
@bling0202 when did you apply?
@ks3210 11/01…feel so bad now:(
Seems like they will be sending out acceptances in waves. I wouldn’t worry about it yet. If you still don’t know in March, then you might be concerned.
thanks that helps a lot
Did you guys had to submit your fall grades? Did you guys apply for spring or fall?
When did you apply

Would you mind sharing your stats?
@4011959 Sure! I received a 2030 on the old SAT and a 1410 on the new SAT. I have a 4.0 GPA, 11 AP courses, solid extra curriculars, and extensive science research experience (5 years).
Any more acceptances to UB? Seems like there was a flurry of decisions on 11/22, then silence.
