I don’t think they’re sending out decisions until late January!

Suny Bing and U Buffalo has started. Seems like last year they started around Dec 14th. Hoping we will hear sooner than later.

S25 received an email tonight about Dec 13 Friday decision for EA applicants with file completed on Nov 1. Seems they are releasing earlier than Jan31. Fingers crossed! Good luck to all.

I saw that email. I think what they said is that a first wave will go out on Dec 13th and a second wave will go out on Jan 31st. You may or may not be in the first wave if your app was complete by Nov 1. It was a very long email!

Wondering if everyone got the email. My son got it too.

Son got the email as well.

It sounds to me like there will be a very small wave on Friday and that the majority will hear on Jan 31

Congratulations. It seems SB gives only very small amount of merit aid even for high stat kids like yours.
