Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at SUNY Buffalo.
Graduate Student
Application only, no interview. I sent in a 2-page personal letter and asked for 3 recommendation letters. The personal letter was kinda rough. But I still got in. Maybe it was too easy? Could be a trap though.

- What specific subjects are you interested in studying?

The graduate application process was comprehensive and well-structured. It would be simpler if you had already finished your undergraduate studies at the same institution. Having recommendation letters from professors or other notable individuals is also advantageous.
