As we approach the close of the semester and the holiday season, I want to take a moment to share an update on our undergraduate admissions efforts for the incoming freshman and transfer classes.
The excitement is building — we’ve already received 47 freshman deposits up over 17% compared to this time last year! To date, we are also up 110 in total freshman applications (2,400 total) and have received more than 80 transfer applications for fall 2025, with many more expected in the coming weeks.
The months ahead are filled with opportunities to engage with prospective and admitted students. Highlights include two Buffalo Promise Scholarship panel events, a combined alumni and admissions gathering in Tysons, Virginia, two fan tailgates for accepted students at men’s basketball and hockey games, and a variety of weekday and Saturday visit options.
After the holiday break, we’ll direct our efforts to yielding our class with targeted admitted student outreach efforts, inviting faculty to connect directly with students. Details on how to participate will be shared soon.
Thank you all for your dedication and hard work throughout this busy season. Wishing you a restful holiday season filled with joy and warmth!
