Give yourself an hour wiggle room but you should be done by 230. The interview process, judging from my experience, was very organized and well run. Bueno suerte!!!!!

My application status says: Decision Made
But I never received a decision yet?
Did I get rejected?

I applied last year and got the same "decision made" pre-interview which meant rejection. You should get a letter in the mail soon about it. Holds are notified by email and if it was an interview invite there wouldve been a link for you to schedule one. Sorry again, but good luck with the rest of your apps!

SUNY Upstate finally sent me that email that said I'm on preinterview hold.
Reading the email carefully let me know (in the nicest way possible) that I would NOT get an interview anytime soon. I mean, there is no chance that there's anything left after the ENTIRE application cycle has been evaluated before my file get a second review
Mayo (post LOR request and sec fee)and SUNY both rejected me, but I think SUNY Upstate did it in such a way that it does not hurt.
Job well done SUNY Upstate!
I got the same thing... why not just send out a flat out rejection?
+1 (well I have gotten interviews at some of my top choices, but I don't expect an acceptance)
I'm pretty nervous about the "mistake" essay. I wrote about a mistake I made that harmed a research subject (it was a very minor harm). I assume med schools don't want to admit people who make mistakes, but if that's the case they really shouldn't ask such a loaded question. I hope I get props for my honesty

No one is perfect. Everyone has and will make mistakes. That's why they ask about it.
I had my interview a couple of weeks after you but I'm IS.
Do you feel that the wait is easier after getting an acceptance?

are we sure a pre-interview hold means rejection since there was a person who got a solid rejection i.e. a status that says decision made and no interview??
Yes. definitely.
now the only uneasiness is whether i get my offer rescinded if i burn in my chm exam on monday...

I interviewed November 9th and I'm IS and I still haven't heard back yet in any form (phone call, mail or status page change). I imagine they're just getting more behind, especially having missed a week from Thanksgiving. The admissions committee meets tomorrow though.
I guess OOS/Internationals are going to take a much longer time than expected. Guess there cant be too many seats for us...

So i have an interview on 1/11....
does that mean that i am interviewing for the waitlist? i ask because at some schools, a january interview does mean that you are interviewing for the waitlist. just figured i'd ask to see if I can know ahead of time lol.

I believe they interview until March/April so I'd say that a January interview is fine.

ah damn. Sucks.
Yeah! I was surprised too. It was about 4 pm, and the call came up as restricted. I got a packet in the mail the same day.

What's the point of assigning hundreds of people to pre-interview hold status then? Deferring the cost of buying paper for rejection letters?
Anybody from the 10/28 interview day receive a decision? I called yesterday and they told me they haven't made a decision yet on my file (I'm IS). I still have "Congratulations on being accepted for an Interview!" on my site. I really loved the school when I visited so the waiting has been difficult.

..is there a status update website? if so, can someone post the link?
if not, where are you guys seeing your status (is there a email)?
Thanks.
and this has been asked/debated multiple times, but I don't get it. Clearly, Upstate is straight out rejecting people pre-interview...so wouldn't that mean the people that are on pre-interview holds still have a chance?

The chance of getting accepted from the preinterview hold is extremely slim. In the past ~7yrs they only accepted 2 applicants. They primarily pull people from the post-interview hold list not the pre-interview hold list. They explain this during your interview.
Use this link to check ur status.

^in fact, i dont even think thats the pre-interview hold list but the post-interview hold list.
the list that moves is the post-interview high priority list, then there is the hold list and then the rejections.

Thanks for the link. and that explanation makes a lot more sense than simply "preinterview hold = rejection"..i see why, given the number distribution of applicant/interview/accepted..
..damn upstate for the false hope..

Ur right, I remember the high priority hold list. To clear things up, correct me if I'm wrong,, there's a pre-interview hold (several people on this thread have been placed on that list) which pretty much is a silent rejection.
Post interview, what are da options? Is it 1. Accepted, 2. Rejected and 3. High Priority hold list?
And finally there's the indefinite wait for OOS'ers to hear about their postinterview outcomes... j/k...
