However, we follow a holistic review process, recognizing that college success depends on more than grades alone. In addition to academic performance, we carefully consider personal essays, letters of recommendation, and other supplemental materials.<\/p>\n<p>SUNY Poly also considers applicants who may not meet the standard admission criteria but demonstrate exceptional talents in areas such as academics, athletics, technology, or leadership. Students may request a review of their special talent, which may involve submitting supporting documentation and participating in an interview with the Special Talent Admissions Committee. Reviews may include input from admissions staff, faculty, and athletic coaches.<\/p>\n<p>We participate in both Early Action and the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).<\/p>\n<p>Admission decisions are provisional. Students admitted based on self-reported transcripts and test scores must submit official final documents before enrollment for credential and diploma verification. Those admitted with official documentation must also provide final transcripts reflecting any coursework in progress. Failure to submit final materials may impact financial aid and enrollment status.<\/p>\n<p>SUNY Poly reserves the right to rescind admission if final transcripts indicate a decline in academic performance or if discrepancies are found in self-reported information.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Application Criteria and Required Documentation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>First-Year Applicants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You are considered a first-year applicant if you have <strong>not attended college after graduating from high school<\/strong>.

We review applications holistically, taking a full range of academic and personal achievements into consideration for both admission and merit-based scholarships. After submitting the application, students will be asked whether they would like their standardized test scores included as part of the review process.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transfer Applicants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You are considered an undergraduate\u00a0transfer student at SUNY Poly if you completed any college credit after high school graduation. If you earned college credit before high school graduation \u2013 regardless of the number of credit hours \u2013 you are considered a freshman\/first-year student.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All official college or university transcript(s)<\/li>\n<li>An official high school transcript is required for applicants that have completed less than 24 credits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The following additional items may be requested upon further review:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SUNY Poly Supplemental Application: will be added to application checklist if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>**All enrolling transfer students, per federal mandate, must submit a high school transcript to the Admissions Office as part of the final enrollment process.
