Can any current students speak about the MEDSET program and if it’s recommended for the “average” student?

Are there any current med students who can talk about their experiences at SUNY Upstate? If you're interested in neurosurgery or general surgery, will you have the resources to work up a competitive application?
 
IS A around 12 today. interviewed 3 weeks ago : ) Is there an accepted students groupme?

Is there anything we have to do before the interview aside from uploading a picture? Just want to make sure I don't miss anything.
 
Anyone still not rejected pre-ii?
I’ve been on hold since early October. I recently sent in an update letter/letter of interest (nothing to update aside from hours, but YOLO). Hopes aren’t very high, but it ain’t over till I have that rejection in my email.
 
I'm on the HPA (interviewed early november and found out mid-December). I hope waitlist movement is faster this year compared to previous years
 
Does anyone have any information on financial aid? Are we able to apply yet? I tried applying on the MyUpstate portal but can't seem to figure it out. Does anyone know if they even offer financial aid? (IS student if that matters)

Anyone I can message for advice about how they made their decision for the campus pref between Binghamton and Syracuse?

Nothing’s on the portal yet

Bing is more rural, if you want to do fam med, peds, IM

Syracuse is more exposure to other specialties. That’s the vibe I got

could any M1 talk about the new curriculum, how often do you have to go in-person for classes, etc?
 
My applicant portal no longer says "you will be contacted when a decision is made" and now gives me applicant login information for a scholarship portal - is this an A? Is it a mistake?

Anyone else still expecting a decision from December interview? No A, WL or R just dead silence.
 
For those that were accepted, did you get an acceptance email? I logged in to my portal and saw an acceptance letter but no email. I am really confused!

From previous people's posts it looks like they send the acceptance email sometime after they update the portal

IS HPA, interviewed 1/8 but had to re-do a few stations over the following week due to WiFi connection issues on my end. Fingers crossed
 
Pre-II R yesterday, LM 70.4. Complete 9/11/23, Hold 10/06/23. Just sent an update letter last week, guess that reminded them to reject me😂
 
Interviewed today. They said that they are not planning on sending out any additional interview invitations. Unfortunately, if the information they shared is accurate, anyone who has not received an interview invitation by this point is unlikely to receive one.

I also interviewed on Monday and I can confirm this is true

Is there anything specific people who have been accepted have to do for enrollment? I've already done everything on the checklist other than the CPR certificate.
 
There is a post bacc program so some of you will be asked if you want to do it with a conditional acceptance. Al hope is not lost.

You can do your FAFSA but FAFSA is delayed this year. Noone will know their package until April earliest.
You will probably have to apply for federal loans (Gradplus) and then there are private loans.
 
Is the MMI with actual faculty/staff members? Or is it an asynchronous recording?
The practice is a recording which is confusing, so initially I wasn’t sure if the actual interview would be a recording either!

But it turns out that during the real interview there will be actual people and it won’t be asynchronous.

Thanks for clarifying!
 
does anyone know the percentage of applicants placed in the HPA get off that list and into the A pool?
