I visited UAlbany today and they stated today that the only writing requirement they need is the common app which is 250-650 words. Yet, I was looking on the website just now and they said that the writing is between 250-500 words? Plus, the regular decision deadline is March 1st but the website says that they start sending out decisions on Feb 1st? Thanks everyone!

Will you be applying as a freshman or a transfer? If you’re applying as a Freshman (which I believe you are, from the information given) then you only need to submit the Common Application essay which is 250-650 words. The 250-500 word essay appears to be for those who opted to not use either the CommonApp or the SUNY Supplemental, and who instead submitted a paper application.
If you’re using the Common Application, follow the 250-650 word instructions on there.
@LiberaCivitas yeah I’m applying as a freshman. Thanks for everything and thank you to @Erin’s Dad as well!
