<p>I sent in my app through the common app on October 28th and haven't heard anything yet. According to college board, their deadline to notify students was new years day. Whats the deal?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't know. I sent all of my stuff in before the deadline so it should have been there in time, except I too haven't received my decision via e-mail nor the SOLAR system. Anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p>There has been a record-setting number of applications this year to SUNY Stony Brook. If you check out their admissions blog, you'll find a [url=<a href="http://sbuchris.blogspot.com/2008/12/im-famous.html%5Dpost%5B/url">http://sbuchris.blogspot.com/2008/12/im-famous.html]post[/url</a>] by Chris ("sbuadmissions" on the forum) describing the flood of applications:</p>

- For you Early Action folks -- relax and breathe. The hard part is done -- the pieces are in -- now it's up to us to put them together and get back to you. My one piece of advice to you now? Don't call us. (Please.) Stony Brook has gone to a new online application system this year, and we're scanning every document that comes into our office. That means that we're going a little slower than we'd hoped, and we're a little bit (read: a lot) behind on processing mail we've received. If you've sent a transcript in the last month or so, odds are good that it's not matched up with your application yet, and that's okay. We're all working hard to get everything together, but it takes time. So thanks in advance for your patience.
