@hannah1789 and @biomedical2023 U of R is an AMAZING school!!! My husband and I are alumni and our older daughter is a sophomore there. Our senior in HS (the one who got into Buffalo Honors) has also applied to U of R. I hope you get in and consider it - fabulous school!
@biomedical2023 thank you!! same to you, always be super positive and believe in yourself!!!
@RabbiBeth i LOVED U of R!!! although i live closer to NYC, most of my family lives in Rochester so I love it up there. I also got into UB Honors, who knows, maybe I’ll end up with your daughter at U of R or UB!! Congrats and good luck to her!!
@hannah1789 thank you!
@RabbiBeth I heard many great things about Rochester! How is the environment up there?
Daughter got into Honors today. 92 weighted gpa (I guess that’s like a 3.6-3.7) and 32 ACT superscore (33 now, but we didn’t even send the latest score). Buffalo wasn’t really on the top of her list, but it’s still exciting for her to get an early acceptance, with honors college.
@lexluthor5 congrats! What’s her top school?
@biomedical2023 It’s not that Buffalo isn’t a top choice because of the quality of school. Buffalo would have been a great fit for her from a lot of aspects, but she just didn’t love the campus. Plus, the speech pathology major has a lot of classes on the south campus and that does make it a bit less ideal having to go back and forth a lot.
Her top choices are UConn, Vermont, Miami (OH), Delaware, Rhode Island, UMass and James Madison. I don’t think she’ll get enough merit at UMass and JMU to get them in budget, but we’ll see what happens. It’s all a crapshoot sometimes. Admission to Buffalo Honors helps keep us confident that the process is working so far. We haven’t yet visited Vermont, Miami, UMass or JMU yet. Vermont comes back on 12/13 and Miami a week or so later, so that should be exciting.
@lexluthor5 she will definitely get into all of these schools! Getting the decisions before holiday breaks are way better than getting them after break! Good luck!
I got into the honors!!! I am very excited
Anyone who got an acceptance from Buffalo last week get their letter in the mail yet?
@biomedical2023 Rochester is a great place. Gorgeous campus, great vibe on campus - it’s a very serious academic environment but there is also enormous diversity of activities and options for creativity, culture, arts, fun, philanthropy. I consider it a dream school!
@hannah1789 how cool! We also live outside of NYC. Yes, maybe you guys will one day meet at either UB or U of R or someplace else! Congrats on your UB Honors admissions!!!
I found out yesterday that I got accepted through the portal, but it did not say if I got accepted into the major I applied for. I’m assuming that I will receive a letter in the mail with more info, but how long will the mail take to arrive?
Also, if I got into UB, but did not apply for the honors college, is it still possible to apply later and get into the honors college?
@Academicstress yes. You can try looking on the website for explanations, but might want to try contacting the honors college and clarifying to make sure you understand it correctly. At a glance, I’m not sure that you can still apply as an entering freshmen (double check and email to ask if you don’t see the answer) but I do know that they have an advanced honors program and you could be admitted in subsequent years. There should be more information on that aspect of honors in the website.

Also, I don’t think anyone has heard yet about majors. It should either be in the letter or perhaps online when you get access to the student portal (I can’t remember off hand how it was stated in the admissions letter, but it sounded like there would be a new portal and more info)
@Academicstress omg congrats on your acceptance. what are your stats? And what major did you apply to?
has anyone received a letter in the mail yet? i was accepted on november 16th
I applied november 7th, and I still didn’t get my portal.information I emailed them, but they haven’t replied. What should I do??
