<p>Does anyone know when will I receive my decision if I applied as early as October?</p>
<p>You should hear from them in late Feb/early March for RD. It’s possible you’ll be admitted, but you don’t have a strong chance since neither your SAT or GPA are meeting their average. Probably depends on the applicant pool for this year. Good luck!</p>
<p>If you are of Asian or Latin descent, you will have a better chance. If not, I hate to break it to you but you will most likely not be admitted but there is still a chance. Make sure you apply NOW and have good reccommendations and well-written essays to better your chances. Try retaking the SAT… I have a feeling the adcom will be more selective this year- Average SAT for last year was 1200 and GPA was about a 92. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Consider Rutgers- it would be much cheaper for you since UB is an out of state school for you and you don’t meet the criteria for scholarships</p>
<p>I am of Asian descent and I believe that I had written a solid essay pertaining to my interest. I applied to Rutgers around the same time as UB and the tuition rates are about the same.</p>
<p>You sound like a well-rounded person which colleges seem to like. Some people with a 4.0 do not even get accepted sometimes because they are not into everything that you have been doing. I think that that may make up for your GPA and SATS that are a drop below average. Good luck to you. </p>
