2023-2024 Albany

[Cherry90]

Been on AL list since early December, feel discouraged to see people being pulled who interviewed after me (so happy for all those being pulled though!!)

I have been on AL since October. The school most likely use their internal ranking system to determine who gets pulled off the AL. Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

Hopefully, there is some movement on the AL.

In terms of convenience, you can’t get any closer than Park South (coming from a local) and I do believe that it’s a popular spot for students. Farther away from campus you are definitely going to find cheaper options but possibly not in the greatest areas depending on where you are looking.

Any AL movement?

 

[xyz123!]

Any current/former students have any advice on the white coat sizes? Especially if you got the women's sizing

 

[Hagn]

I haven’t seen anyone post this yet, but accepted students group me is here

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

I would size up, but don’t worry if you already filled out the survey. You can always exchange your white coat if you need a different size. There will be a designated time during orientation for white coat exchange

 

[Medschoolapplicant2023]

Anyone know where students usually live? Park South seems really expensive.

Current M1 here! There are several private landlords that rent out houses that have been converted to apartments specifically to AMC students. Rent is much cheaper compared to park south. Accepted students will get a list of housing options from current fourth years who will be moving out! feel free to DM me if you have any other questions about housing

 

[Jenmjfan]

Do we think there will be any more AL list movement or is the class kind of full already?

There will be more movement over the next month+ because people don't have to make final decisions until 4/30 and even then they could get off another WL and decide to go somewhere else, opening up spots for AL -> A.

Released from Alternate List +1

Withdrew A early this morning! Good luck to you all and wishing you a great end to the cycle!

 

[Drizzle98]

Released from Alternate List +1

Sorry to hear that my friend. Was it voluntary or did the adcom release you?

 

[BattalionX]

Adcom released me. Looks like they're cutting down their AL numbers since they interview 700+ people for 145 spots.

When did this happen?

 

[vintagepremed__]

Technically 100, 1/3 of the spots are for BS/MD and other early-admit programs

 

[premed-dodo]

Adcom released me. Looks like they're cutting down their AL numbers since they interview 700+ people for 145 spots.

What? I thought it was 200 people. Then again, MSAR information is outdated as it says they take like ~30 people off waitlist.

Where did you hear 700 students?

That's what they said in their email, so I'd wager it's up to date. 750 interviewed, I don't know the II -> AL conversion rate.

Well, it looks like the statistics are not on our side.

EDIT: Brain freeze moment. I heard ~700 interviewed, ~200 AL. I mistook 700 interviewed for 700 AL.
Statistics are back on our side.

Thanks! I've been on the AL since October.

 

[Cherry90]

Are they going to remove more people from AL this week?

 

[premed-dodo]

Are they going to remove more people from AL this week?

Historically, A's from AL went out first week of May around middle or later in that week. I'm assuming after the PTE deadline.

 

[Cherry90]

I'll wondering how many people remain on the AL.

 

[Jenmjfan]

Just got the email requesting me to fill out the AL Response form if I am still wishing to remain on AL list or be removed! Literally nearly passed away when I saw an email from them. Good information on there though! Good luck to everyone on the list!
