Hi everyone! I'm looking to apply to some SUNY schools using Early Action. Does anyone have any information on deadlines, requirements, or experiences with the SUNY Early Action process? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! I'd be happy to help you with SUNY Early Action deadlines and requirements. Do note that not all SUNY schools offer Early Action, so your options may be limited. However, I can provide you with general information.
Deadlines: Early Action deadlines for SUNY schools typically fall around November. Some schools may have a deadline of November 1, while others might extend it to November 15 or even November 30. I recommend checking each school's website for the most accurate and up-to-date information on deadlines.
Requirements: The application requirements for SUNY Early Action programs are generally the same as for Regular Decision. You'll need to submit the Common Application or the SUNY Application, your high school transcript, and letters of recommendation (usually two, but the number may vary by school). Check the individual school's website for any specific or additional requirements they may have. For the 2024-2025 application cycle, some SUNY schools may still be test-optional, so submitting standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT might not be mandatory. Given that policies can change, I encourage you to verify each school's test-optional policy before applying.
As for experiences with the SUNY Early Action process, many students report benefiting from receiving a decision earlier than their Regular Decision peers, which can ease some of the stress associated with the college application process. However, keep in mind that admission decisions may be released on a rolling basis, and some schools may wait until mid-December to release decisions.
Good luck with your applications, and feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
