SUNY New Paltz Writing Sample

[theominousfuture]

So I just got an email now requiring an electronically proctored writing sample for SUNY New Paltz. It seems like it’s required for everyone. We need to sign up for a proctoring slot by tomorrow 2/27 noon and then do the sample in any 60 min period from Friday 3/2 at 6:30am to Monday 3/5 at 10:30pm. You don’t get to see the prompt until starting. I’m really surprised that they didn’t announce this sooner! It’s  not even on the website in the application timeline. So if anyone applied to New Paltz, check your emails!

Thank you! I called them as well. When you go to sign up on blackboard make sure to click as a guest (if you’re not a new paltz student )!

Good luck!

I received this as well!  I was surprised by how quickly they want us to sign up and take the test.  Also, we have to pay $15 to do it.  I think they're behind schedule compared to last year.  It seems like they will be conducting interviews around the time other schools will be sending out their acceptances.
