UB and the Buffalo community are enjoying a lovely fall season. Our October “surprise” storm is all but a distant memory and we are preparing for our beautiful and exciting winter season. We look forward to the benefits of activities including great – and affordable – nearby downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, hiking, ice skating, and just having fun outside. Being outdoors is a terrific way for our students to unwind and take in some fresh air as they approach a typically stressful end-of-the-semester and final exam schedule.
Our busy fall recruitment schedule is coming to an end and we are now preparing for admissions application review. We are also beginning to make plans for the upcoming spring recruitment season. Please know that we are available to participate in your programs for high school juniors and their parents. UB representation is just a phone call or an email away and, if our schedule permits, we’d be happy to join your efforts in informing prospective students and their families about the college admissions process.
While our fall open houses have passed, prospective students and their families are encouraged to visit UB throughout the year. Our website http://admissions.buffalo.edu/visit offers helpful information on scheduling a trip to the area. In addition, your students can communicate with UB students through our interactive IM, student blogs, frequent chats, and informative message boards. During the application review cycle our toll free number, 1-888-UB-ADMIT, is a great way to talk with us should you or your students have any questions.
We have an announcement for you:
UB’s Policy on the SAT
UB will continue to use the highest math and critical reading test scores from different test dates to determine the highest combined score from the new SAT. Freshmen applying for Fall 2007 will be required to take the SAT or ACT writing component, however these scores will be used for research purposes only. Official score reports must be sent directly from the testing agency to the UB Office of Admissions. UB’s SAT code is 2925; the ACT code is 2978.
Come back soon for another blog entry. Right now there’s a brisk walk, a bright blue sky, and a Starbucks hot chocolate calling my name!
