<p>Last friday I recieved my letter in the mail, along with all the info. When i logged onto the solar system it gives me the "new student" feature, however when i go to application status, it says its being reviewed? any ideas? thanks</p>
<p>That happened to me also.. but my application status says: Your application is complete. Decisions will be posted and mailed on or about February 1 ; Please check back at that time. </p>
<p>I didn't get my acceptance letter but when I logged in tonight, I got a "new student" feature that asks me whether I wish to live on campus or is commuting and payment/deposit fees. It also says:</p>
<p>"Welcome to Stony Brook University !</p>
<p>Please let us know whether you will be living on campus or commuting.<br>
I will be :<br>
Living on Campus<br>
Commuting"</p>
<p>Ahh, the Welcome to Stony Brook University ! makes me smile but worry at the same time =x</p>
<p>Anyone have any idea what it means? Maybe we should just wait till Feb. 1st.</p>
<p>Judging by what happened last year with my dtr's acceptance, once you get that new student info, I'd say YOU'RE IN! Congrats. The letter in the mail came later! Solar is first notification.</p>
<p>jaeneex - I would think that would be a good sign.</p>
<p>I don't know when the letters would come in the mail, or if the status is going to be updated online Feb. 1st...</p>
<p>I know that at Binghamton the status for EA students went up late dec/early jan, but we're still waiting to get our snail mail acceptance letters...</p>
<p>Are these regular decision notifications already? When did you submit you applications?</p>
<p>I just checked my SOLAR and under the application status it says to check back Feb. 1st. But there IS that new student link that when you click it, it says "Welcome to Stony Brook University" and asks about housing/commuting.</p>
<p>So I really don't know what to expect. I'm thinking it's a good sign still. =/</p>
<p>citymom - mine is regular decision, i sent everything in the first week of december.</p>
<p>Thank you! I thought that Stony Brook admissions officer used to frequent this site. Maybe he/she can clarify.
I think my daughter applied closer to Christmas, but I'll suggest her to check.</p>
<p>I submitted everything early November since I was doing EA for another SUNY, Binghamton.</p>
<p>I don't know if the "new student" link means I'm in or not since the status checker says to come back Feb. 1st....!?!!?!?!?</p>
<p>You applied EA but didn't receive a decision yet?</p>
<p>i applied in late oct, is it wierd if i recieved my acceptance last week?</p>
<p>Sory to disappoint you guys, but my daughter says that this "New Stuent" thing has been there for a long time. So it may have nothing to do with acceptance.</p>
<p>I love this thread. That "New Student" change must mean something, right? :D</p>
<p>Chris</p>
<p>sbuadmissions, that's such a vague annoying answer and you did it on purpose.
gah.......</p>
<p>I hate how you admissions reps love to torture us... bleh..must be fun :(</p>
<p>good news guys, they just updated my status on solar system now it reads</p>

<p>aww mine still says check back on Feb 1st..</p>
<p>and i still hope that 'new student' thing means something good.</p>
<p>good luck all</p>
<p>damit, i think i got rejected ? maybe? my solar says this::</p>
<p>"Your application is complete. Decisions will be posted and mailed on or about February 1 ; Please check back at that time."</p>
<p>i applied RD though, no honors or anything so no supplements and jaeneex mine reads "new students" also.</p>
