pre II hold to R today

+1

 

[no.green.ham]

Apparently 7,000 applicants for 170 seats, that’s a crazy A rate ‍

 

[drtobe_]

This is my only A so far this cycle. Anyone know what life is like as a med student at SUNY Upstate? I go to school in Upstate NY so I'm familiar with the weather haha. What are classes, students, and opportunities like?

 

[J29X]

Sent mine on 11/23 and nothing yet

I guess early in January then who knows

 

[atla]

anyone else complete mid-late august with no hold and no pre II R just silence

 

[lynn778]

Got put on HPA, anyone know the percentage of people that get off this waitlist? I know people in past years have gotten off it in late May/June but not sure how many people

 

[Guggenburg]

Does anyone know how the interview day is? How long is the MMI?

Does anyone know how the interview day is? How long is the MMI?

There’s a mandatory information session that everyone attends which runs about an hour and is mostly Q&A with current students, then you do your MMI which takes about an hour. If I remember correctly there are 3 time slots for the MMI you can sign up for on the date of your interview

Totally forgot about that! Very short though, not something to stress about too much

 

[augabear]

This q has been asked a few times alrdy-scroll up bc ppl wrote really detailed answers

 

[GoBills14]

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the reason why IS tuition is cheaper is because the state government partially funds their state students, so OOS students just pay the “true” tuition the school would have received from an IS student (IS tuition + Government Funding).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did up charge OOS students, but I still wouldn’t expect them to be making that much more money by taking more OOS students

Plus they HAVE to prioritize IS in order to continue getting state funding. And with the state funding, I believe they actually make more on IS students

Anyone else feel like their written component of the interview was not good lol? I finished it and was not the most impressed with myself...

I honestly don’t even remember the question but I remember it not going too well. I guess that speaks to how it went for me lol

I still got the A about 2 weeks after I interviewed

I made smth up

 

[Guggenburg]

Thought I withdrew my app when I sent an email before my interview to their admissions email but apparently not. They sent me an email asking me to schedule my new interview date. Had to withdraw twice lol

 

[tmj117]

For any current students, how often in a given week are you required to be on campus? I know attendance is required for some things but not others

 

[_CaptainKaladin_]

Any chance of a II if I’ve been on hold since early October? I can’t figure out whether it’s basically a soft R. I saw a lot of people got rejected off the hold list and I’m still hanging on, so is there a chance?

Are you IS or OOS?

 

[_CaptainKaladin_]

Are you IS or OOS?

IS

 

[weewooo]

Same thing for me. I was put on pre-II hold since september and no R. IS

Same

 

[no.green.ham]

Can someone make an accepted students gc?

 

[augustfifther]

Just logged into my portal to see an acceptance letter! Interviewed 12/6 and OOS but strong ties to the area! No email yet just the portal change

Edit: received the email the next day (Wednesday) around noon EST

 

[coolbeans1]

Anyone interview 11/8 or around this time and not hear back yet? Starting to take this as a bad sign lol

 

[snoopiewoo]

Interviewed 12/13 and actually feel sick to my stomach waiting for a decision ahaha I need good vibes to come my way so that an A will hopefully follow...best case scenario is a decision by next Tues/Wed which would be about a 2 week turnaround...

 

[Yousee]

Any other 12/6 interviewees get a decision yet?

 

[Squalene]

Any other 12/6 interviewees get a decision yet?

Not I.

 

[anon5566]

Has anyone gotten off the hold list yet for an interview?

 

[AspiringDoctorTKD]

is it worth submitting an update letter if I am on hold? I have a few manuscripts that were submitted for publication

 

[coolhuevos]

Has anyone made a GroupMe for accepted students?

 

[Dr_Pediatrics]

OOS Pre-II R. Was never previously on hold.

 

[tmj117]

Has anyone made a GroupMe for accepted students?

Not so far

 

[Marsultor]

Pre-ii R

 

[MimiGH]

Pre-ii R

I’m so sorry. Did they place you on hold before the rejection?

 

[Benzene1]

IS completed 10/2, pre-II hold 10/20, sent in app update 12/15... still nothing :/

 

[Marsultor]

I’m so sorry. Did they place you on hold before the rejection?

Yeah they did

 

[snoopiewoo]

Likelihood of any decisions this week or next??

 

[tmj117]

Likelihood of any decisions this week or next??

Your best bet is gonna be to look at previous years threads to see if there was any movement at this point last year. Best of luck!

 

[Bishop1x]

IS II today at 4am after being put on hold back in september. I did submit some very significant updates on 12/24

 

[aspiringmed23]

IS ii today at 4 AM also after previously being put on hold. Also submitted updates on 11/16 with Letter of Interest so maybe that helped.

 

[hotsauce4]

Any current Upstate students who could answer a few questions I have about upstate?
I'm interviewing on Monday!

 

[coolhuevos]

the orientation facebook group is starting to become semi-active

 

[snoopiewoo]

IS A this morning :') no email but portal had the acceptance letter

 

[snoopiewoo]

the orientation facebook group is starting to become semi-active

Do you have the link of this? I can’t seem to find it

 

[tmj117]

Do you have the link of this? I can’t seem to find it

Orientation Information 2024 | Incoming Students | SUNY Upstate
There’s a link on this page

 

[no.green.ham]

the orientation facebook group is starting to become semi-active

but that says 2023 orientation, or are 2024 ppl using that ?

 

[tmj117]

but that says 2023 orientation, or are 2024 ppl using that ?

Yeah I think they just update the year, if you look at it the page was founded in 2008 and they change the name every year. They’ve started accepting a bunch of people to the group as of this week

 

[Yousee]

Did any other 12/6 or later interviewees receive decisions this week?
