CatallaxisOfEvil Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah. Screwball numbers. At least it's not as bad as Yale numbers. So on pure numbers that's something like a 6% matriculation rate (maybe someone with a higher Q score check that...!). I think they tend to notify successful applicants by phone.

BruBru Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Someone got into SUNY Buffalo! Congrats and mind sharing some detail with the rest of us? That was me. I received an e-mail this morning from the graduate director stating that they had accepted me, and will be sending information regarding any financial offers via postal mail. Buffalo was my safety school, but it still feels good to get admitted into the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
