@Assume Holy moly, congrats pal!!! That’s so fricking amazing how you started a software company at the age of 15! Once again, congrats on your acceptance! Do you plan to attend? 
@Sapphire50 Congratulations to your son!!! I hope he’s as excited as you are!
@LOLHELPME I do not at this point. I am waiting for Binghamton to come back.
So far I have acceptances from Rutgers, Stonybrook, Hofstra ($18,750 a year scholarship - applied because of fee waiver. My supplemental essay was “You gave me a fee waiver”), Willamette ($21,000 a year - applied because of fee waiver), Colorado State ($4,000 a year, will never attend was my safety), Colorado State Colorado Springs (once again will never attend, safety).
I am still waiting on the following schools:
Cal Poly (1st choice)
Cal Poly Pomona
RPI (2nd choice)
Case Western
Binghamton (2nd choice)
Fordham
University of Delaware (applied because of fee waiver)
Stevens Institute of Technology (2nd choice)
They are all second choices as I will decided based on what they give me.
@LOLHELPME
THANKS!!!
@AlbertCollege
Apparently, they accept the people who indicated an interest in the Honors College/University Scholars first… Up until now I received an e-mail on somewhere that they made 5000-6000 decisions so far…
When is merit aid news coming out?
Should I call the admissions office to demonstrate my interest in attending SBU? I don’t want to come off impatient or over-anxious but I don’t want to be waitlisted either. I don’t know what to do lol. Any comments/ideas would be appreciated! And congrats to all that have been accepted!! 
Accepted Major: Economics
SAT: 1820
GPA: 92.77
AP Classes: World-4, U.S-4, English-3, Psych-4, I forget the rest
@sbuadmissions - Chris, Could you please provide an update on how far things have progressed? About 2 weeks ago you had mentioned about 5,000 admits. What is the current status regarding # of admits/waitlists/rejects? Or similar kinds of information that does not create problems for SBU.
Any thoughts on timing of release of batches of decisions would be very helpful, so that one is not in the dark when things are changing because one has not received a decision yet. Thanks Much.
@pandabur CONGRATS FRIEND!!! I’m so happy for you, man! Are you excited as heck? :+)
@Assume Once again, congrats on your acceptance to Stony Brook and all the other schools you have received admission too! I’m sure you’ll also get into Cal Poly - just keep on waiting!
@lifeishard Well, congrats on getting accepted once again, man! Do you mind telling us a little more about the email Stony Brook sent you regarding how many decisions were and, perhaps, will be made? This would help calm our nerves a little bit lol.
@CaliCash Honors and scholarship decisions typically come out in early March.
@connetquotreppin I feel you - I want to demonstrate my interest as well but I’m not too sure about calling the admissions office and being seen as somewhat bothersome. But my all means, go ahead and try! You never know. However, maybe writing a letter of interest, like I and @Lalalalalax mentioned before would be a good option as well.
I applied on the 15th of January and I got my decision today. So far I’ve heard back from Rochester Institute of Tech, but what I really wanted to know is why are they sending out their decisions so early. It’s only February and on their websites they say late March…Oh and I am an international student so I’m very excited/nervous to hear back from my other schools. I wish all of you other future freshmen the best ! ;
Hey guys! So i have the option now to pay deposit and everything, i wonder what this means… 
thats a good sign!
Really? it allows me to pay everything and it has student preferences and everything! for housing too! i hope it means something good apparently my friend had it the night before he got accepted i hope this means im in! hopefully!
@asyed9701 - Did you ever get an official decision? My portal switched over in the same way yesterday. The message changed slightly, but still says my app is being processed BUT I have a new student section and can click through with an option to pay my deposit. I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
I also have this new option to pay… Does anyone not have to option to pay the deposit on the solar or has it switched for everyone? I hope it’s a good sign.
@mm1957 Congratulations friend!!! I’m so happy for you! :+)
@Dawn2015 @lulu2015 @simuni Omg guys, I have a bunch of new tabs on my SOLAR portal as well including one “For New Students" and another one to pay my depoists and such. However, my application status slightly altered and the message became a lot shorter but it still says my application is being processed…I REALLY HOPE THIS IS A GOOD SIGN and not some sick early April fool’s joke. I’m nearly having a heart attack right now and I don’t know if I should be excited or what. Did anyone else’s SOLAR portal update?
@LOLHELPME well some of my friends still have the old interface with the old 2 tabs instead of the ones that I have so i hope this is a really good sign since we are able to pay the fees for housing, orientation, etc! Me neither i dont know if i should be excited or not !!
My solar account updated with a congrats note - woot! Hopefully the same is true for those of you who saw the option to pay over the past day or two.
Mine updated too, Accepted! Looks like it was a good sign after all!!
Accepted… Best day of my life
…
Any word on scholarship information?
