Anyone else get the Decision Made status post interview like that guy up there said? I havent had any change yet.

Mine changed to Decision made about 3 weeks after my interview. I hope I'm getting a call this week!

I have. I'm not sure it means anything other than they like to torture us.

Does the Congratulations Interview part disappear ? which part of the page does that show up on?

Ya, the interview invitation disappears. You have to click on your Fall 2010 application where it shows you all that information. It's nested in with that stuff.

Darn, I interviewed on Sept 15th and still they havent made any decision on my file I guess.... Thats not a good sign...

 

[KatieRedBull]

If I have the "Decision Made" line on my application status but I haven't had an interview yet, is that bad? I've been complete this whole time, and now it says Decision Made. I'm so nervous 🙁 People wrote that they had theirs say "Interview Invite", so does that mean no interview for me? 🙁 Oh my gosh, I'm super nervous !

I think it's meaningless. For all we know, the ones that have "decision made" have been rejected.

Hmmm that is interesting, now I am even more lost. When I click on Processed application, I dont even see a application status anywhere. All I have is Application Summary and nothing in there about decision.

So does this mean that OCT 15 is decision day for people who have already interviewed at SUNY Upstate?

I don't think they're calling everyone today. So far they haven't called a single SDNer.

 

[softmed]

I'm considering calling admissions and saying, "hey, I got a call from this number earlier today do you have any idea what it was about?" Maybe I can trick them into telling me whether I've been rejected/accepted/waitlisted.

 

[ReApper24]

Just got the word, interview early December. Better than February 4 from last year.

 

[mrmilad]

Anyone interview on Setp 15th or AFTER that has the "Decision Made" Status on your app? Any info would be appreciated!

I'm one of those people. A quick decision isn't necessarily a good thing 🙁 It could just mean they knew I wasn't right for the spot.

 

[archimedesxx]

I finally got that call at exactly 5pm. Accepted. Thank God!

 

[Luun]

Just received the call. 🙂

 

[bamtuba]

Accepted!

Woot!

Congrats everybody who heard the good news!

👍

When'd you get the call?

 

[softmed]

At least one of you had an interview after me so I'm really unhappy I didn't get a call 🙁

Especially since my status says "decision made". Did everyone who got an acceptance have a status of decision made?

 

[s28w]

I got the call earlier, too! This has been my favorite school so far. I'm so pumped right now.

 

[softmed]

So regardless of what kind of letter I get in the mail (or phone call I get) I'll be complaining to Upstate about the way they deal with this. It's unnecessarily stressful. I have other interviews I could cancel if I get in there, instead I have to assume I'm rejected.

Has anyone been wait listed today/yesterday?

Lol atleast you have a decision made ....

 

[softmed]

There was one person in the cycle last year that had eight weeks before he had a "decision made" and he got an acceptance.

Similarly, there were people who didn't get a phone call until 2 weeks after their status changed (later in the cycle).

Yeah, I'm pretty much obsessing about this whole thing. I really want to get into Upstate.

 

[Sharka]

For the people who have interviewed here, what time did the interview day finish? I was looking for the info on the site, but I could not find it.

 

[Sharka]

Oops i see it now

 

[secants]

Btw, for schools that call, would they leave a voicemail if you don't pick up for whatever reason or do they keep calling instead?

Tufts left me a voicemail, but it could be different from schoool to school.

I interviewed on September 7 and my page still doesn't say "decision made." It still says "Congratulations for your interview" there. I haven't heard from Upstate yet. What is going on?

There was at least one person last year that had to wait 8 weeks before his status page changed and he was accepted. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

However, I think I have to worry because my status page changed and I haven't gotten a phone call yet 🙁

 

[Mashizhao]

Why the hell does my status page say i need I20 visa? I am an American citizen - does anyone else have this or did I accidentally do something wrong??

 

[princess22]

is it normAL that my status says ' interview invitation' but got nth in my email or vial mail/??

 

[IntelInside]

nvm

Yea, I didn't receive the email until a week later.

Got listed on their High Prioirty list; Given how terrible my interview went, I am quite surprised!!

Does any one know of what %age of people get off the HPA?

Unfortunately, they told us that the list hasnt moved in a few years. Meaning that waitlist is a death sentence here. But there may be some hope.

I remember the lady saying that the regular waitlist hasn't moved in years but that the high priority waitlist does move.

Yea you're 100% right, I do recall the same as well.

Finally a Decision made on my app, but now I don't know what the hell it is.... more waiting, "YAAYYYY" FML!

I think it's like 90%. Last year some people on the high priority waitlist were accepted by December. So I'd say it's almost as good as getting accepted, but not quite.

 

[mrmilad]

HOLY ****! I just got the call, I GOT IN!!!!

 

[softmed]

If I don't get something by 5:30 pm today I'm going to have to go ahead and say I'm rejected. It seems like they're letting more people know today and I've had a decision made for a week now so...

 

[softmed]

HOLY ****! I just got the call, I GOT IN!!!!

Welp, there goes my last shred of hope. A person gets a call BEFORE me who had his decision made after.

 

[texmed123]

Does anyone know if it's likely to get off of the "pre-interview hold" list? or is that a qualified rejection?

 

[bannie22]

^ according to what ive read here, it seems like that is a rejection.

 

[softmed]

Not quite. Some people do get off that list, but it's unlikely. At this point it's looking like you have a better chance than I do. No emails, no calls, all I have to look forward to is a thin envelop in the mail.

 

[baxtheman]

Interview invite! IS and complete 9/15

I'm holding a small amount hope that they do the phone calls completely at random. In the past it's taken literally weeks sometimes for a phone call after the status change. I've also heard from a source in admissions that they're way behind and it's complete chaos there.
