And I got my letter today, I don’t plan on gonig.</p>
<p>you want to let Bing know now…maybe free up a spot lol</p>
<p>I don’t think any instaters got their letters yet.</p>
<p>Congrats to those accepted. Instate will not receive decisions until ~4/1, so keep tight. For the OOS who are not attending, please let Bing know so that another student may potentially take the spot.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance letter about a week ago and I am an international student;)</p>
<p>Are you attending?</p>
<p>Me? I dunno… I have to wait a bit more to get results from other universities and colleges that I applied to…</p>
<p>I was accepted to the school of management</p>
<p>I am OOS (massachusetts)</p>
<p>I scored 1250/1600 and 2010/2400 on the SATs</p>
<p>I have a 2.95 gpa</p>
<p>Congrats! I’ve heard the school of management is hard to get into. Are you considering going ?</p>
<p>Narney: If you have any interest in accounting/finance, you need to seriously consider attending…amazing recruitment from SOM…Congrats!!</p>
<p>Yes I am very seriously considering going and I will probably major in marketing. I also got into Northeastern, but Binghamton’s much more realistic for me in terms of $$$. 45,000 a year is a lot to ask…</p>
<p>hey i’am in-state and I received my transfer acceptance a few days ago</p>
<p>You would think a state school would let its students know first, or at least at the same time. Our taxes support the darn SUNY system.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance letter today; I am a transfer student, in-state.</p>

<p>but sadly, state support for the sunys has been slashed over the last couple of years – and would be again under paterson’s proposed budget – thereby forcing the sunys to look to increase revenue from out of state students. </p>
<p>if the state keeps cutting funding, it can’t be surprising that the sunys would try to market to those students who will pay a significantly higher tuition – and marketing includes early notification. its part of the fallout of expecting the sunys to find a way to operate with significantly less money coming from albany.</p>
<p>sunys remain a bargain for in-state students – applications are soaring. the same poor economy that is making the sunys increasingly attractive to nys residents is also resulting in the economic pressure to try to attract higher paying out of state students. it is sad – both in terms of the short term impact on the in state applicants, but also in terms of the long term impact for the state – providing quality affordable education to its citizens can only help the future of the state’s economy, in my opinion.</p>
<p>i’ve said it before many times – people need to contact their nys legislators to express their concern about funding for the sunys.</p>
<p>iamhere: "if the state keeps cutting funding, it can’t be surprising that the sunys would try to market to those students who will pay a significantly higher tuition "</p>
<p>Wrong. We obviously know there is indeed a PREFERENCE for oos students. We are arguing why Binghamton cannot release instate student decisions until the very last possible moment. They have nothing to lose seeing as the decisions are probably already made, while some are still waiting for midyear/materials. They cannot send every oos a decision months in advance, when they wait and hold instate decisions as we look onwards to other schools who actually have an interest in the STUDENTS, not the other way around.</p>
<p>SUNY OOS tuition is so much more of a bargain than other states universities are for OOS students.</p>
<p>SUNY should have a larger difference between IS and OOS tuitions as other states schools do.</p>
<p>versii – early notification to applicants that a college is trying to market to is pretty common – many colleges do it with respect to athletes, lower tiered schools do it with respect to high caliber applicants. you can’t ignore the fact that notifying oss early is undoubtedly part of trying to get more oss to accept offers of admission which is undoubtedly due to the economic pressures the sunys are facing.</p>
<p>binghamton used to have early action. two years ago they got swamped with an unexpectedly large freshman class with a lot of tripling that lasted the entire year. so last year they tried to be a lot more careful and they were successful in not being overenrolled again – but in the course of doing that, they ended up deferring a LOT of early action applicants to make sure they had a handle on their overall application pool. it resulted in a lot of upset early action applicants who’d been assuming their admission decision, as well as the timing of it, would be similar to previous years. </p>
<p>so this year, presumably to avoid this same issue, they eliminated early action this year. their literature says that decisions will be mailed “by April 1” <a href=“http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/pdf/admissions_application_checklist.pdf[/url]”>http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/pdf/admissions_application_checklist.pdf</a>

in general, applicants have no reason to believe they’ll hear sooner than that. but the school has chosen to let some applicants that it is marketing to - ie oss - know earlier just as many other schools let applicants that are being marketed to know earlier than most.</p>
<p>you don’t have to like it – i don’t blame you for not liking it. but recognize that it is apparently a direct result of the financial difficulties faced in light of repeated reductions in the state funding to sunys.</p>
