My son is applying to UB early decision. He also applied to their Honors College.
He has decent academics.
GPA 93 UW
SAT 1330
EC with a lot of sports and some volunteering. NHS member.
He is interested in Pre Med
UB is his first choice.
Is there anybody with similar interests willing to share thoughts or prior experiences?
According to the University of Buffalo website…they have early ACTION…not early DECISION.
Am I reading that incorrectly?
You are correct.
My mistake…
here is the program summary for SUNY Buffalo.
350 seatsin the freshman class across the state.
GPA is slightly below the range

Thank you sybbie719,
That is useful. It looks like his chances are somewhat below 50%.
Do they base their decision solely on academics?
@4011959 The fact sheet above has stats for the Honors College, not general acceptance. You son’s stats are in the top 25% of the general student population, but a little below the average for Honors. Not sure how much they weigh essay and ECs vs. grades for Honors at UB.
According to collegedata.com, the middle 50% SAT for general acceptance is 1060-1260 on the SAT.

Thank you stencils.
Any idea when admission results are released?
@4011959 Sounds like some people are getting decisions now.

Hello guys. What do think the chances are with
25 ACT, 89 (3.5) gpa. Or 93 (3.7) if you count gym, arts etc). Super strong volunteer ours. Pretty good essay, strong recommendation letters, and my older brother goes there and is a good student. I applied on 10/29. What do you think?
I’m concerned that many are getting the letters. When did you apply? What are my chances?
Son applied November14
Nothing yet
Sorry about the typo.
*volunteer ours = volunteer hours
Any more acceptances to UB? Seems like there was a flurry of decisions on 11/22, then silence.
I heard of one acceptance yesterday. Are they sending more letters this week?
No one. No news? I would say that some decisions should arrive before Christmas. But that is just a prediction.
no news…
lol applied on November 1st. Nothing hear back yet.
BTW, I’ve been rejected by one school and deferred by one school today. Oh my life
Hang in there @bling0202
I believe we will all be notified by January 1st correct? (Early Action).
It would be nice if they give us all a nice Christmas gift on the 23rd.
As of today, 4 of my friends got in. No rejections. They are all at my level. ACT 25 and GPA 93. What are your stats? Similar to mine?
@Paidela My new sat score is 1280, and my gpa is 96.89. Hopefully both of us will get our admissions soon!
