<p>I sent in my application for fall 2013 in mid October and all my requirements were received by the beginning of November and wanted to know when I should expect my decision either through SOLAR or mail. Does the university typically wait until April to send out notifications or send them out before that?</p>
<p>According to Chris (the Stony Brook admissions counselor who sometimes posts on this site), decisions typically start going out in mid-January. My son loved his visit and is looking forward to see how this works out.</p>
<p>I just got an email saying they’ve received all my stuff, even though it’s been sent in for 2 months now. I also got a similar email from Binghamton. Does that mean they’ve started reading applications and people might start getting decisions soon?</p>
<p>They never sent me any email about that they got all mt stuff even though i did gave in all my required documents… Im anxious too.</p>
<p>It seems to be very arbitrary. They have been releasing acceptances, but not based off of when one applied to the school. Some people have waited less time than others. I applied in mid-October, and my SOLAR account was just updated within the past two or three days.</p>
<p>Yeah they said releasing decisions is random… I sent everything near the end of Nov… and i didnt get anything yet… while my friend sent everything on december 24th got it last week. lol</p>
<p>I applied RD, obviously, and wasn’t expecting a decision until mid-march. I logged on to my solar and was shocked to find that I had already been accepted! They just got my transcript a few weeks ago, so it was a pretty hasty decision. Like everyone else said, it seems to be pretty random.</p>
<p>Well may I ask what was your SAT/ACT score, because it seems to me that they first accept people with higher scores</p>
<p>May be. Our daughter has a 2050 and she got her decision almost instantly. I guess it’s one big, objective thing they can look at (Even GPA is hard because different schools are easier or harder) whereas if the SAT is lower, they have to look at it more piece by piece. Not really fair, but . . . .</p>
