State Allocating for non residency

Hi, I am a college student and I work for a large national company, splitting my time at the company in two different locations.  While I am at school, I work in New York State, while I am home over breaks, I work in Mass.  I have a question about allocation.  I am listed as a resident of Mass, and a non-resident for NY.  My employer on their W2 has my total wages listed in both parts of box 16 showing the two different state wages.  I did a rough calculation and found that they surprisingly came to about a 50/50 split based on adding pay stubs.  During the filing process, however, when I get to allocating New Yorks wages, when I put in 50% for wage allocation, the total state wages doesn't seem to change.  Also, am I required to fill out the IT-203-A after for New York? As it seems to be quite confusing.  Thanks!
