My son got the new student info in Solar Friday night around 5. Did anyone get financial aid info or does that come later?
@marcriss2 …Did you use the SB ID# they gave you in your secure application status portal to log into SOLAR, and then see the new student info, OR was the new student info just in the original secure application status portal? We haven’t used the SB ID# for SOLAR yet because we don’t seem to have a password, nor were we told to log into SOLAR. (Thanks for any insight.)
Got the email saying I was accepted but my portal still says my application is under review. Is it normal for the portal to be delayed?
@lordfundarbyrd - Congrats!! My D20 is in same situation. Got email acceptance but portal is not updated. Please let us know if you find any update
Same happened with me. I got the email that I got in but portal is not updated. How to know if I have received any scholarship?
Same here. Got the email, no portal update, and can’t sign into SOLAR 
I can sign into SOLAR, but I want to be able to see the actual acceptance letter before I do anything. I hope we don’t have to wait too long for the portals to update.
Congrats @lordfundarbyrd ! How were you able to log into SOLAR?(I guess with the SB ID# they added to your application portal, but how did you get a Password that worked?) ~Thanks
When would they tell you if you’re admitted to the Honors College? Would that be on the portal if and when it updates?
DS’s password didn’t work, so he reset it and it still doesn’t work
They said in the acceptance email they sent me what my ID was for SOLAR, and that my temp password was my birthday in MM/DD/YY format. Once I logged in, it prompted me to reset my password.
@lordfundarbyrd …Thanks so much for clarifying that! Very helpful!
The portal updated with the acceptance letter, but we still can’t sign into SOLAR. I think we screwed up by resetting the password. Yikes.
Did anyone receive a merit scholarship in their acceptance letter, or is that sent out separately?
When did you all apply? I haven’t gotten any communication yet. Should I be worried? I am an international applicant.
20th October
I applied on 20th October and received acceptance letter on 19th December. When did you applied?
Applied Oct. 12 and was received email/portal update on Dec. 21 for acceptance (Computer Science)
@ACatSLP does it say if you were accepted directly into Computer Science or AOI in your acceptance email/portal? Congrats btw!
Thanks! No, computer science isn’t specified:
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you of your acceptance to the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University. In recognition of your fine academic performance, you have been admitted as a matriculated undergraduate for the Fall 2020 Semester.
In order to secure your enrollment, your deposits are due by 5/1/2020 and must be submitted in SOLAR stonybrook.edu/solar using the Stony Brook ID and password noted above. Deposits will only be accepted on a space-available basis after this date.
But we can’t sign into SOLAR, we screwed it up by resetting the password before initially signing in. So, we’ll have to email someone for help with that haha!
