I applied to University at Buffalo and I'm anxiously waiting for a response. How will they let me know if I'm accepted? Is there a specific timeline for their admission decisions?
University at Buffalo typically notifies students about their admission decisions via an online portal. When you applied to the school, you should have been given instructions on how to create an account for this portal. If you haven't done so already, I would highly recommend setting it up, as this will be your main source of updates regarding your application.
Admission decision timelines can vary depending on a number of factors including when you applied, what major you applied to, and whether you applied through early action or regular decision (if applicable).
Generally speaking, for the University at Buffalo, applicants who apply by their 1st November Action deadline might expect to receive their decisions by late December or early January. If you applied Regular Decision or anytime after December 1st, decisions are typically released on a rolling basis between February and April. However, these timelines can fluctuate slightly from year to year, so I would recommend checking the university's admissions webpage for the most up-to-date information.
Remember, if you're awaiting an admissions decision, patience is key. It's completely normal to feel anxious, but know that the university is working through many applications and will get to yours in due time. Make sure to also check your email (including your spam folder) regularly, as universities sometimes send out notifications or updates there as well. Best of luck with your application!
