When did you submit? I submitted 7/25 and haven't gotten anything either. I thought these guys sent automatic secondaries. Does any know if they are actually screening?

Alright that's a bit of a relief then. I didn't get the complete email until 7/31 but I will be sure to post any updates.
 
How the F am I still incomplete...this is so weird.
 
My letters were submitted 1.5 weeks ago. Is it normal that they are still not marked as received?
 
Just got an email regarding the Binghamton campus option for students.

Just curious, anyone interested in this? I read some stuff on SDN, but I'm not quite sure what to think of it yet.

Anyone know what Application Preference Not Entered means?

Don't know, but I have it too. I checked last years thread and others with the same thing listed received interviews and acceptances. So imo, no need to worry.

Congrats! I was complete the same day so hoping for some good news:xf:
 
Randomly just checked the website - interview invite! Keep checking your status people! :)
 
Interview invite! (also via website). Dreading the new MMI system. Seems like more and more schools are adopting this interview format.

As soon as you log in you should see this at the bottom of the page:

Congratulations on being selected for an Interview!

"The interview provides a means for both the college and the applicant to learn more about each other. We hope that during your visit you will sit in on classes, talk with current students, visit the medical library, Clark Tower or Geneva Tower our residence halls and the Campus Activities Building, and also learn more about the city of Syracuse. A tour of our campus will be conducted by current students and lunch will be provided".
 
got an invite via a status update....does anyone know if we can choose a date before they actually send the official email?
 
Anyone have any suggestions as to how we should prepare for MMI? I'm kinda nervous :(

I'm nervous too. I have been reading a book on ethical cases in medicine so I have an idea of the thinking that goes on when deciding any kind of ethical case (medical or non-medical). I am looking at my primary application and personal statement. I am also thinking about the most likely questions that would be asked in an MMI format. These include Why SUNY upstate, why do you want to become a doctor, what are the positives and negatives of medicine, why did you not choose other health professions, health care reform questions. Also, practicing your interview skills will help during stations that one could not prepare for anyway (e.g. acting station)

im worried about getting a lot of questions on healthcare reform. also I was under the impression that we would be given "scenarios" at each station. can these scenarios be questions like "why upstate"?

Yeah. I am going to learn a decent amount about health reform just because it is a huge topic in the news right now. Some of the stations can be traditional questions like Why upstate. Since they are going to only have a few traditional question stations, my view is that it is going to be those high yield questions that are asked at every interview. The other stations include ethical scenarios, acting, and even group exercise stations.
 
Dang, checked status and no II for me yet. Really want an MD interview!
 
I have the same question...when I finished filling everything out I clicked "application complete" (or sth like that) on the checklist page. I didn't see a "submit" button anywhere. I am using the FAP waiver, so I'm assuming I have to print out the signature page. What exactly is the signature page? I didn't sign anything. Is it just the "Application Summary" page? The bottom of that page says my Supplementary application has not be received yet...

I believe you have to e-mail them a copy of your fee waiver e-mail. I did that and they accepted it, and I was complete shortly thereafter.
 
nice..we should meet up beforehand. my flight gets in the afternoon of the 18th
 
Stiiiiiillllll incomplete, for no reason. OK then.

Do you mind sharing the title of that book on ethical cases in medicine? I've just been researching situations specifically but that has not been too helpful.

Thanks!

Its called Doing Right by Philip C Hebert (2nd edition). Its a really good book because it helps you approach how to tackle any kind of ethical dilemma using four basic principles.

Highly recommend this book. I used it to prep for ethical questions last year and it helped immensely!
 
Anyone got an ebook or Google link?

Still no word.
