i asked my admissions counselor this and she said that it’s sent on a rolling basis and there is no one criteria that goes into the decision time.

I’m pretty sure it’s not first come, first server because I applied in mid Jan if I remember correctly.

How much money does that amount to over 4 years?
I received the “Global Excellence Scholarship” but it’s 5k a year and that’s considerably less

314

would scholarship awards show up on the solar portal?

I got into the WISE program yesterday! I actually really like stony brook and the scholarship I received was generous, but I’m still not sure we will be able to afford it.

I am just curious, are there any in-state computer science majors who have been accepted yet? I applied in November and still no decision, nothing is missing from my file and I spoke to admission counselors multiple times-only answer I keep getting is to wait. Yet it seems out of state and international applicants to comp sci major receive their decisions weeks after applying.

We’re in the same exact situation. I don’t know how they chose which applications to review, but though it is now obvious that it’s not done on a “first come, first served” basis, it is not completely sparadic either. Likely, there are “buckets” they are trying to fill: so many foreign students, so many OOS, and so many in-state.
My son goes to a well known competitive school in NYC and his stats are solid, yet here we are waiting since November.

My worry is: by the time they get to his application, will there even be any seats left? I guess, we’ll find out.
