2023-2024 SUNY Upstate (Norton)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Uhhh I just got an email stating that the dean of admissions would like to speak to me via zoom meeting before his full committee review... i interviewed last week on 2/12. Is this normal? And does anyone know anything about this?
I spoke to him after I’d already been offered my acceptance but no, this did not happen to me

That is weird too. Why did you have to talk to the dean? Was it just a friendly call notifying you of the acceptance?

Hey guys, since I haven’t seen a GroupMe or anything yet for accepted students I decided to just make one myself. No approval required to join, feel free to share with anyone that might have been accepted that isn’t on SDN.

You're invited to my new group 'Upstate Class of 2028' on GroupMe. Click here to join: GroupMe

I kinda wish they rejected me already considering I’ve been on hold since October :/ (IS)
 
Is it safe to say that if we interview in Feb/Mar it’s for a waitlist spot?

My b but I believe he said that they’re probably interviewing for the waitlist- not that if you’re interviewing in Jan/feb that you will be WLed.
Sucks to hear that I’m likely bound for the waitlist (at best) as a mid-February interviewee, but I’m trying to keep my spirits up anyway…

How long is the typical turnaround between an interview and a decision? Do decisions tend to vary in speed depending on whether you’re bound for an acceptance, waitlist, or rejection?

hi! I ended up declining my acceptance a while back after interviewing on 11/29/23, so I feel comfortable saying this now without repercussions: looking at this thread, it's clear that what dean ruiz said about jan/feb interviewees during my interview was false. I don't know why he said that to the 20 of us in the zoom room, but it clearly isn't true as people are withdrawing As/interviews. keep your hopes up bc it ain't over til it is.

Does anybody know what the student dress code is? Is there a specific scrub color you need to wear?
 
Let us all pray that someone decides to give Upstate a $1 billion donation for free tuition!

HPA waitlist movement is generally high; normal waitlist movement is generally non-existent.

do some people wait longer than others to hear back from same interview day? trying to see if its a bad sign i didnt hear this week
 
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?

do you guys know what the link is to access the scholarship portal?
 
has anyone gotten any type of financial aid? or are they waiting for FAFSA to get released?
 
After months of waiting for a response from being put on a pre secondary hold, I finally got a response back. Last night I freaking got news about getting into the AMSNY program with a conditional acceptant to upstate. I was already preparing myself for another dreadful application cycle, but damn there’s still hope out there y’all.

+1. They didn't give specific details in the email they sent, no cost, no gpa requirement, nothing about whether we would still have to apply/interview. Anyone know anything?

For ppl in future cycles reading this forum: I was put on hold september -> sent an update late december regarding new activites -> interview received 1 week later in January -> sent another update (regarding first author pub) after my interview -> accepted today. Upstate seems to love significant updates.
