Stony Brook University Fall 2015 Admission Decions

So update for those who have seen a new tab pop up…I was told in an email from admissions that sometimes our tabs change before an update is given on our application decision. However, I don’t have the new students tab, just the campus financial services one. The email said to keep checking my email for updates. Does anyone else have a similar tab on their page that has been accepted or rejected?

@AlbertCollege‌

Oh wait sorry 40… :(|)

@lifeishard Oh haha, that’s really impressive. This might make me come off as a jerk but if the honors college is that hard and comparable to that of ivy leagues, etc, why wouldn’t one just go to an ivy versus stony brook’s honors college? And for the cost aspect, ivies give tremendous financial rewards to those who cannot pay for tuition so in many cases it would be cheaper to go to an ivy with a low income than to stony brook in-state.

I was also Accepted to Barnard College! Not planning to go to Stony Brook anymore!

I honestly believe the reason I have been accepted to majority of the universities I applied to was due to my essay.

Just got a bunch of new tabs that say like deposit/fee for new students and campus housing. My application status changed a bit and now says it is currently being processed and we will contact you if we need any further material. I hope this means I got in.

Did anyone get accepted for EOP yet ? I’m really worried because I didn’t hear anything

Accepted to Biomed Engineering on March 1st

NYS resident
ACT: 31 (35E, 35M, 26R, 28S, 11E)
UWGPA: ~3.5-3.6ish
Moderate courseload, 3 AP’s each year starting junior year
Still waiting on like 10/16 of the colleges I applied to but happy I’ve gotten accepted into somewhere where I’d be happy to attend.

@AlbertCollege when did your portal start to change?

Did you get in for eop? Congrats

@Crazeemomof2‌ I’m not sure if you mean the application status or with the new tabs so I’ll answer both. I think the financial aid tab popped up about 2 or 3 days ago and then yesterday the new students and housing tabs popped up. The application status also changed prior to my acceptance from being processed to being processed and we will contact you with any further material. Today, it changed to Congratulations! etc,

@sbuniv‌ How do you know if you get accepted into EOP?

Did they ask you for your financial information or did they Send you an email saying you are academically qualified for eop? I’m sorry, just worried because I only got the campus financial tab so far but so did everyone else and it doesn’t mean an acceptance

@sbuniv I don’t think they said I was qualified for EOP. Not sure though. And about the finaid tab, I got one about 2 or 3 days ago and just yesterday the other two tabs popped up so I wouldn’t think too much into it.

@AlbertCollege‌ @sbuniv I have the financial aid tab, too, and I am a transfer and I don’t think they have even begun looking at transfers so I think everyone gets that tab. I wish there was a correlation between the tab and an acceptance. I’m going crazy.

@AlbertCollege‌
congrats for the acceptance!!u applied to the honors college too?

@Lalalalalax Wait, how did you find out about Barnard?

@AlbertCollege‌ Congrats pal!!! I’m so happy that you have been accepted! :+)

For those of you guys that are still wondering about the tabs situation, I’ll explain what happened to me. So basically two or three days before my SOLAR portal changed to “Congratulations!”, my portal updated with a bunch of new tabs such as “For New Students,” “Campus Financial Services,” and “Campus Housing.” This change should clearly be visible when you sign in to your portal. Moreover, my application status became much shorter and had the phrase “render a decision” in it. After a few days, my portal updated once again and that’s when I found out I was accepted to Stony Brook. I hope this is somewhat helpful to those of you guys that are confused about the new tabs.

P.S. - Congrats if you see these tabs because that most likely means you’re in! HOORAY!

gawd. what is going on tbh…
do you think the order of acceptance is based on how appealing the applicants are to them?
