Perhaps this has already been asked, but if there’s a GroupMe for the incoming class could someone share it with me?

If any accepted folks are willing to share their stats (even a range), that would be super helpful for future students. I know I for one would really appreciate it

Anybody receive their financial aid package yet? Any idea when they'll release this stuff so I can start planning for loans and figuring out how to pay for an apartment?

No dude it's so bad

 

[student198747]

No financial aid, but I did receive a couple scholarships so far so I think those are being rolled out now.

 

[vintagepremed__]

How do we view financial aid?

 

[mrfishy]

Has anyone gotten out of the HPA list this cycle?

I’m on HPA and haven’t heard yet

 

[bingbong27]

in previous years it seems like the HPA doesn’t have movement until a week or two into May

 

[student198747]

Nope

What were your hours like?

 

[ChooChooDoc]

What were your hours like?

I'm non-traditional so some of my hours are pretty old. For community service: 1800 hours of volley EMS, extra 175 hours in a SNF since covid. Pretty minimal traditional shadowing hours (sub 100), but I had 6 years of paid patient care experience.

That UG gpa just gave a lot of people hope! Thank you for sharing!

The waiting for any updates on the HPA list is driving me crazy

 

[PotatoSauceTomato]

Anyone contact the school to see if there has been decent WL movement yet?

 

[LittleCoaks]

Also HPA and haven’t heard anything yet

I read on another forum that this is happening to all schools this year and it has created a domino effect. It’s not just a SUNY Upstate thing.

 

[lynn778]

In the past, movement started around May 18th, so this could be the week! Chin up kings and queens

 

[LittleCoaks]

3 weeks and no movement is insane

 

[bingbong27]

Has anyone contacted the school recently to see how the HPA is going?

No but i’m on HPA and haven’t heard anything yet

No but i’m on HPA and haven’t heard anything yet

I emailed [email protected] concerning if the waitlist was moving and they gave me more information about my ranking.

Did they say if the list was moving?

 

[lynn778]

I’m pretty surprised there hasn’t been movement, unless people who’ve gotten off the HPA haven’t said anything?

I’ve heard nothing so far. Beyond frustrating lol

 

[LittleCoaks]

Just was told from admissions that my position on HPA “[hasn’t been reached] in many years and [we] do not anticipate reaching it this year” so for any non-HPA applicants, the prospects aren’t looking strong. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone wondering

Was this the first time you reached out to admissions? When I reached out they said I was in a gray area and to reach out again in June for updates about movement

Yes, i reached out today to ask a few questions and the response was basically “better off focusing on a reapplication” lol. Which again is at least a little strange since i’m HPA. You’d expect HPA to be defined by the students they plan to take off the waitlist
