@NYdad2014 thank you 
Where have u decided to go? @Tookme10mins
are they still accepting any students?
maybe you should call them @ael203 cause that seem wrong in my opinion
Rejected 1950(CR:570 Math:710 W:670) GPA: 3.7/4.0 UW. 5 APs upward trend except for math. I am really shocked, waitlisted at fordham too. Dont think it is getting more competitive because people with lower stats got in. Also future applicants if you are over qualified for eop dont apply to it, because it will make them move your application to the end.

@Shelly215 I think Mount Holyoke College,but if the FA isnāt good(I havenāt looked over the FA packages with my counselor yet,but weāre going to tomorrow). Also, Iām supposed to visit MoHo during April since I havenāt visited it and want to see how I feel at their campus,but from what Iāve seen and learned Iāve really liked. If I,for some reason I donāt end up going to MoHo I guess maybe Skidmore or Hunter? I got wait listed at Vassar today though and itās one of my top choices,soo if I were to miraculously get taken off the waitlist I would most likely go there.
@sosoyumii yeah, I know right. I felt pretty good about Stony too,but I know they had a record amount of apps and there were probably some other controllable factors that affected their decision.My counselor said I could appeal my rejection,but I donāt think I will. Iāll admit it did sting a little,but Iāve come to realize,as many have said,that rejection is just a part of life,this process is a crapshoot at some schools,and as NYdad said,this is an opportunity for a new beginning and to be proud of the colleges that have accepted me so Iām fine.
How many people get wait listed?? @sbuadmissions
I just joined but I got my acceptance 2 weeks ago.
Major: biomedical engineering Sat 1680 (didnāt send) ACT 29 and gpa 3.84/4.0 weighted. Iām an URM and I always live an hour away from stony brook. I honestly canāt believe that it was that selective this year (2,800/34,000) and that I made it. Does anyone know how stony can go from a 42% acceptance rate to almost 10%???
I donāt think that itās actually 10% because you have to keep in mind that there are a certain number of kids that will be accepted but not enroll, so they accept more students than they have seats
@seveneleven29 Itās not 2800/34000. They only have ~2800 spots for incoming freshmen, but they accept FAR more than this because they know they have a low yield. Only ~2800 choose to enroll while far more students are accepted.
The acceptance rate probably went down a little due to increased applicants, but to preserve yield, it is definitely still in the high 30-40% mark.
@raqgabjon me, I got waitlisted =(
@seveneleven29 congrats! I am envious !
my status updated to

@hypebeast21 really??!!! I hope to get more confirmation with the letter and everything but if thatās actually the case, im really happy omg !!

Lol same here @hoshidan232
Hopefully you guys wonāt be waitlisted.
Itās frustrating how they havenāt answered me and theyāre past the deadline. Itās the last college Iām going to hear from so I just want to know, yāknow? (
