Good luck to everyone applying! :luck:

Gettheleadout, while I commend you for attempting to be a hero and create threads for each school, I felt I must correct you.. I have followed this year's threads but needed to create an account to inform you that Buffalo State does NOT have a medical school... It may be a good idea to do a little research if you're going to waste your time making threads without having received secondaries yet. Good attempt, though!
 
Yeah, should be SUNY Buffalo

One of my top choices :luck::xf:
 
Yeah, Buff State is Buffalo State College, not UB, which is SUNY Buffalo. SUNY Buffalo has a medical school. Buffalo State does not.

Creation and management of school-specific threads is a job we delegate amongst the mod staff.

Sorry guys, I used the AAMC's list of schools (http://services.aamc.org/memberlistings/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.search&search_type=MS) to make the threads and it does read "University at Buffalo State University of New York School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences" which I must have inadvertently shortened to Buffalo State University.

I've corrected the thread title.

Way to be a jerk...

Anyway, for anyone in this medical school, how bad are the winters?

Binghamton's winters are awful. If SUNY Buffalo is worse, I might reconsider applying here.
 
Buffalo does get more snow than Binghamton. But Binghamton is colder

Syracuse is the worst 😀
 
I will be applying here. I am a florida resident and I feel like I needed some thing a little colder with some snow. I hope they are out of state friendly and grant me an interview....

Oh you'll get snow all right, This is where my wife grew up. You'll wake up to 10 foot snow drifts from 10-15mph winds during a snowstorm in October! But you will be close to anchor bar, and only about a half hour to 45 minutes to canada/niagara falls which is a fun mini trip.

Mine says "invalid credentials" when trying to log in...

Is it still not quite ready, or just me?

Same here. Maybe they still need to validate our AAMC ID's or something.
 
same..just called them and they said they are having some computer issues but it will be back up in a couple of hours
 
i think the link is working now

It works now.

Wow, that was the shortest secondary ever...
 
Am I missing something or is that all there is to it? That was the first secondary I received so I don't know if all of them are like this
 
After paying the fee, is there any confirmation that the secondary is complete (beyond the payment receipt)?
 
Blais said:
Thanks.
Mine says basically "no" for everything [post-submission].
We all on the same stage?
Click to expand...

Same.

Secondary Application Received: No 😕😕

Okay, good then... they prob have to manually check off that we paid, etc.
 
Hey how many letters of recommendations should we submit to them? I looked on line to see what they require and I can't find it anywhere. Please let me know where I should be looking. :/
 
hey guys I'm applying here too and this is definitely one of my top choices! my secondary was sent to them on friday and my committee letter has already been sent to AMCAS... hopefully this whole applying early thing gives me that extra edge that I need. does anyone know when they start giving out interviews?
 
just submitted and have no LOR's in, hopefully it will go over OK though.
 
got my completion email today...hopefully the next one is for an interview invite 🙂
 
Regarding the research laboratory question- does clinical research count? I am not running gels in a lab. I work at the Hospital for Special Surgery and consent patients to be in studies and also attend surgeries to record intra-operative data. Should I answer this question yes? Or they not referring to clinical research?

THANKS!!!

i've read a lot they don't update that page as much so i'm going by the emails
 
Anyone else having issues at the log-in and getting "Invalid login credentials"?
 
Ok so my status page says Secondary Received, but that the Application Fee wasn't. I got the ePayment receipt via email though. Should I be worried?
 
nope! took them a couple days to process mine!
 
My letters were received 2 days ago at AMCAS. Application says fee paid, secondary recieved (over a week ago), but application still not complete. How long has it been taking for UB to mark your applications as fully complete?
 
It took them about a week for me! no worries!

Wow.. Didn't even know there was a status page and def submitted the secondary information twice...

:laugh::laugh:
 
I wish every secondary was like this. Also, I love really cold winters, so here's hoping for some love from Buffalo. :luck:
