Yes, I called this morning and they told me the same thing (re: HPA mvmt)...
 
Are they able to tell you where you are on the waitlist? Some people here seem to have been able to get that information from calling. I feel like the phone people are just tired of getting these questions and are just saying 'the list hasn't moved' just for the hell of it.

One time I called and they asked for my name, and told me I was in a grey area. That time the lady was nice, but I have called two other times, about 2 weeks in between each call and they were very cold. I think you're right and they are tired of people calling.
 
i called today and the person said that she believes that waitlist is moving but she isn't sure.
 
Hey Guys,

I will be withdrawing from the HPA soon (I was in the previously reached zone)... Good luck everyone 🙂

VPP
 
I emailed them and was told I was in the "previously reached" area. They always seem very cold when calling and not very good at giving useful responses.

Are you hearing by e-mail or by phone?
I called yesterday and was told that the HPA wont start moving until next month... that doesn't seem right.
 
Just wondering because this is kind of scaring me. What happens if they call you but you aren't by your phone? Do they just move to the next on the list?

Haha I wouldn't worry about that... I'm sure they're reasonable enough to call back or leave a message.
 
It is awful quiet in here lately........😕 and :scared: and a lot of :bang:. This waiting is torture.
 
So how long does the list move for? Do people still get off the waitlist in say, august? I'm considering stomping out my last bit of hope and getting started with my janitorial job.
 
I was accepted off the HPA list last week for the Binghamton clinical group.
I declined that acceptance and was accepted to the Syracuse clinical group on Thursday!

The HPA list is still moving! Don't lose hope!
 
They accept people off the waiting list all the way up to the day of orientation. They would rather not, but I've seen it happen.
 
just withdrew from the class. good luck to you guys! i was accepted off of the waitlist as well. i know the wait can be grueling but hang in there🙂
 
accepted off hpa list today at binghamton. they also said syracuse list wasnt moving much this year
 
Pre-interview Hold: 10/12
Interview: 03/08
HPA: 04/11
Accepted: 06/23 10:43a (telephone)

Not my first choice, but I was offered Binghamton (is that the right spelling? I should probably figure that out at some point over the next 2 yrs)

Admissions said the Syracuse list was barely moving. She said she couldn't make any recommendations whether I should decline and wait for Syracuse, but her tone didn't sound too optimistic.

2nd acceptance in 2 days... after 12 months of torture. I'll be declining AMC shortly...
 
I received an acceptance for the Binghamton Campus a few weeks ago. I will be definitely matriculating here!! Soo excited! Good luck everyone whose still waiting, :xf:.
And btw, I called once and someone was very nice and said I am in a good place and the odds are in my favor, then called again 2 weeks later and a gentleman was very cold and didnt even ask my name. Then two weeks later I emailed and got a response saying they usually reach well beyond my position to offer acceptances, and about a week later I got the phone call. I guess it really depends who answers the phone lol.
Good luck again.

Ditto. First call was friendly and gave details about my position, second was "we can't give that out" (though she did answer general WL-movement questions). Sorry, don't remember names.
 
I wanted to let you know the Syracuse list is moving; I just got the call. I'll probably decline though, so hopefully someone here gets the spot.

I remember a time when you wanted to hear from Upstate more than anything in the universe. :laugh:

Anyway, congrats, probably no good reason to switch at this point.
 
I just got a 2 bedroom loft at 1108 Madison St. It's close enough to school that you can walk... If anyone is looking for housing still, I need to find a roommate for the room, and I would prefer a med student.

Very clean, lots of space, furnished. You can choose either room (one of them is much larger).

It's $750/month for one of the rooms. Heat is paid. Post on here, or email me at [email protected] if you are interested. I can provide more info, or have someone show you the place.

Yay UPSTATE!

How do you feel about having a car while at Upstate?

2 things are necessary. Either a car or a really good friend who has a car. Otherwise you may have to eat out every meal.

That being said, the only thing I used my car is for grocery shopping or going to carousel mall. You could take the bus but public transportation is not very good in Syracuse.
 
Hey Funky, are there any apartment locations near campus to avoid in terms of finding an apartment. Specifically for a female living alone?? or places that will be loud because of undergrads???
 
I think you want to avoid anything that's south of adams st and west of state st in terms of safety. Generally people don't live there anyway though. If you're close to SU then you'll probably have undergrads living around but it's hard to say how loud it's going to be. Safetywise, it's probably not too bad if you're walking towards the direction of SU. Jefferson/Madison towers are the most popular buildings and they are just full of med students and residents so noise is not much of a problem but it's probably too late to get those apartments now.
 
I withdrew a few days ago, so hopefully my spot goes to one of the members here. It was a tough decision, and if I was accepted there right off the bat, I probably would have attended.

Hey Funky-- is it still the case that MS1 exams are held on Fridays? And when are MS2 exams usually scheduled? Thanks!
 
Just got the call. Woot!! Anyone know when they send the e-mail nd the packaged information?? got the call like ago and still didn't get the e-mail. Paranoid something went wrong. heh

Unfortunately you may have to get used to it. My tuition has now gone up almost 50% in three years. The state legislature sees us as a politically safe piggy bank. Should stabilize a bit though.
 
Is the on campus housing usually filled by this time? I'm going to call in to ask but just wanted to get an idea from ppl that are in there too.
 
i just got accepted... class of 2018... im a freshman.
 
Got accepted today! I was so surprised to hear the list was still moving.

I've lived in syracuse my whole life so if anyone has questions about the area I'd be glad to help.
