antecedent Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi everyone, I can't find a quick answer to this, and I seem to remember there being several Alumni from Buffalo on this board. Is it generally preferable to refer to the school as SUNY Buffalo or University at Buffalo/UB? I'm having trouble figuring out how to refer to it in my SOP Thanks!

TakeMyCoffeeBlack Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm just a Buffalo native, but... The official name is State University of New York at Buffalo but we all (Buffalo natives and UB students - my brother and mom went there) call it UB or University at Buffalo.

heliogabalus Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think technically it's SUNY-Bison. antecedent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookeSnow Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I used SUNY Buffalo in all of my SOP materials. They accepted me so I figure that was okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semicolon2013 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 There's a Buffalo acceptance on the results board--has anyone else heard from them? My status on the website still says "Not Reviewed." Is this a bad sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockford27 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I was admitted to Buffalo last year, though I didn't end up going. Two things to note. One is that they did two rounds of acceptances last year, one in late Jan and one in early Feb. I believe it's determined by what fellowships the applicant qualified for. Second, if I recall right, my application still said "Not Reviewed" for several days after I had been notified that I was accepted, don't read too much into it.

I'm seconding this as my experience with Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeakPerformance Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I received a PhD from Buffalo and don't think you need to worry so long as you are consistent. I believe the school rather recently switched to "University at Buffalo" but since it is part of the SUNY system it is still referred to by many as SUNY Buffalo. The department stationary, however, read University at Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
