Has anyone who applied RA to SUNY New Paltz received an acceptance letter yet? Were you asked for mid-year grades?
I have a 98 GPA, 1410 SAT, and strong extracurriculars and applied RD on 11/10 and still have not heard back. Most of my friends applied in December to New Paltz and got in around the beginning of January, and I was starting to get concerned and I called up the admissions office. I left a voicemail and they called me back, looked up my application, but did not give any info and and promised to call me back the next day, but they did not. My college counselor also called but they never returned her call. My application status did change from “received” to a list of my materials that were received and a statement saying a decision will be made shortly. My school sent out everything electronically at the end of October but the portal says that my documents were only received on February 5th. New Paltz is not my top choice, but it’s over three months. I was not asked to send midyear grades. I’m hoping I’ll hear from them soon.
When my D applied for New Paltz (before Common App), it turned out that not only had the school somehow opened two application files for her, so of course neither was completed, but there was another applicant with the same first and last name as her (but not the same middle initial, fortunately). It took months to sort out and then she was rejected, although I am not sure if it was because the admissions office was just fed up or embarrassed. Point is, ask if there is another person with your name into whose file your materials may have been placed.
I’ll call them later and check. Thank you! @techmom99
Good luck.
My D decided after visiting that she didn’t like NP anyway, but I know plenty of kids who have gone there and loved it.
Update: I got my acceptance package in the mail today for New Paltz.
Thanks for your help 
@techmom99
Congratulations ! Was there anything new on the portal telling you that you were accepted or did you just get a package?
My portal still says “Your application is complete and a decision will be made shortly. Thank you for your patience”, but they sent me an email today welcoming me to the Business School and the packet and a financial aid letter came in the mail today. @tdd2015
@nyclika -
You’re welcome and congratulations on the acceptance. I hope that your 4 years at NP are everything you hope for.
Thanks! I’m still waiting on a few decisions but I’m currently leaning more towards Binghamton, and NP was more of a safety. @techmom99
@nyclika -
Well, it’s good to have a nice safety. A girl I know who wound up graduating from NP absolutely refused to get out of the car at Bing - she thought it was the ugliest place she’d ever been. Best of luck wherever you choose, and it is nice to have choices.
Thank you, @techmom99 !
