Just talked to Mr. Rosso.. They entered the middle third on "May 11th at 3:52pm."

This is kind of funny, because apparently I am still in the top third

:/ you may have moved down because I also called today and they are definitely in the middle third. I'm sure you'll get in soon though! I'd tell you not to stress about it but I know from my experience that that's impossible.

 

[Maxwell7301]

Did you call yet?

Even if you moved down a bit, it would still place you at the top of the middle third, so the acceptance has to be sometime really soon.

 

[OcFdoc]

Called in the morning: "You are definitely still in the top third"

 

[FIREitUP]

Called in the morning: "You are definitely still in the top third"

wow, someone must be bad at math or something if they're in the mid third and you've yet to be accepted...

 

[OcFdoc]

maybe I got skipped =/

If I end up getting in this is going to be something I will laugh at, but still just increases the tension/stress/almost freaking out.

 

[BambooBob]

Awesome thanks! Did Mr Rosso say anything about odds of getting accepted if we are in the middle third? He was saying 50/50 a while ago, but just wondering if that had changed because they are accepting from the middle third now.

Call Mr. Rosso...and ask them where they are at....simple

 

[Maxwell7301]

Called in the morning: "You are definitely still in the top third"

Well that's strange. Ask Mr. Rosso if he has an explanation for that.

 

[tengoku14]

you know what would be sick? If somebody got in... Rosso is not working today so maybe they are not accepting today.

 

[Pook104]

For all of you who have already been accepted, once your status changed to accepted, how long did it take for you to get some sort of notification from the school, whether e-mail or snail mail? I want to get that deposit in!

My status changed on a Thursday and I received the email on the following Monday, although it took a day or so after I accepted online before the system would take my deposit.

I received a packet via snail mail 3 days after the status change. Then I received an email 3 days after that.

so where have you decided on nyr?

99% set on Buffalo. I withdrew from BU & Upstate, but I'm on some waitlists. At the end of the day though, I liked Buffalo a lot and it's the cheapest option, so unless I get some miraculous financial aid package from some other school, I can't imagine switching. Not to mention, come housing weekend in June, I'll probably have signed a lease, so I definitely won't be changing after that.

Congrats! Buff is a great place and it's definitely improving. I wish I could get a 300 buck a month lease over in NYC 🙂

Thanks! And funny you mention that - I pulled up some apartment websites and was ready to start looking for an ~$800/mo place, thinking that it'll be nice to save money compared to NYC. I was literally blown away when I saw you can get an entire house for 1k.

Then again, you'll be paying more, but you'll still get to have real NY pizza & bagels!

That's absolutely nuts! I'm so envious; but I guess we'll talk again come winter time and we'll see who's envious of whom 🙂

Just accepted at Buffalo, definitely going! I don't know the area too well (I've only been there for rugby matches and the interview), so I was wondering if anyone knew any areas near the south campus area for renting?

Congrats! Check out the FB group, which has a bit of a discussion about the areas. Also, there's a post about the upcoming housing weeking in June, when there'll be a chance to go to Buffalo to check out the housing options. I imagine you'll get the email about it from UB eventually, but you can see it right away in the group.

 

[FIREitUP]

Ahhh, you guys are so awesome I don't want to leave you!

 

[Crystalvision]

Well, you may get an apartment for $300 per month, but Buffalo is definitely not a yuppie town. So even though you may have saved some money on rent, the quality of life in Buffalo is not the greatest. Not to mention the weather, which is horrible in the winter.

At least for me, it'll be nice to get away from the stuckup yuppies in NYC. I'm not looking forward to the weather (although snow is better than rain, I hate rain), but I don't know if I'd go as far as saying the quality of life is lower. Some cool people and a fun bar is all I need to have a good time.

 

[Pook104]

I grew up in Buffalo and then went away for College and my Master's Degree. Honestly, I am so happy that I am going to be back in Buffalo for med school for the next 4 years. It might not be the most exciting city to live in, but it is cheap and there are a lot of fun things to do if you seek them out. There's sort of a quirky art scene, great restaurants and bars, a great theater district, and of course, cheap rent! The weather isn't so great in the winter, but we all get through it just fine!

Yeah, that's exactly what Buffalo is like!

Congrats! No one would really recommend living in the University Heights neighborhood, as it's not exactly the best or safest place.

Amherst, Kenmore, North Buffalo, Elmwood Village, are all good choices though.

 

[matterotime]

Anyone know how can I access my person number again? It seems that I cannot log back into the GrAdMIT site anymore where I originally got it.

 

[NYR56]

You should still be able to login to that site. Did you change your password? Maybe try clicking forget password link.

Ha. Thanks, you are right. I was using an incorrect password. Thanks for letting me know you were still able to log in.

Anyone got accepted today?🙁

how long did it take you guys to get your acceptance packets in the mail?

A few days for me, and I live less than a mile from the school.

And don't be alarmed if it's in a small envelope. 🙂

 

[Angelnite11]

doot doot... there hasn't been too much movement lately =/.... everyone else got the email today too??

Rosso told me that middle tier now has 70% chance of getting in!...woot woot... heres to some good news the rest of this week...

that's great news because just last week he told me it was only 60%. I assume it is moving much more than sdn shows. Also, statistically speaking we have almost half the middle almost accepted because about half the middle has been accepted on sdn.

Hey I got that waitlist email too...just want to make sure that email was just like a reminding of waitlist, right? It didn't seem like a rejection or closing of waitlist but it still upset me.....🙁

 

[BambooBob]

Hey all,
I called yesterday and Mr. Rosso told me the WL movement has been "abnormally slow" this past week. Hopefully it picks up soon! Btw time to start holding onto our phones like hot potatoes on June 13th!

Hey I just called them and the lady who answered told me that the class is full already. So the only way they would accept more people down the list is to have someone withdraw.....not so optimistic about this fact🙁

If you look on last years thread there was a lot of movement in June due to accepted applicants dropping their spots. This years movement is very similar to last years. Stay positive! 🙂

Actually, mine wasn't a small envelope, unless if you consider letter~A4 sized envelope small 😛 Maybe it's because you got in earlier?

Well, you have to consider that by this point (well after they interviewed everyone), this is the case for just about every single medical school. You just have to wait for people who got off the waitlist from another school (who only got off b/c someone else from that school withdrew to go to another school) to withdraw. I see it as a huge chain reaction. This is how it has been for years and yet a lot of people in the mid third still got in. Don't give up just yet!

Bottom-thirders unite! Anyone else in favor of buying large feathered hats? 😀

*Edit: I now know what I should have worn to my med school interviews.

I stumbled across this article entirely by accident a few minutes ago.

UB 2020 would hike tuition 8% a year

Does anyone know more about this? I'm interested in how it will affect the COA for future UB medical students. Anyone have more specific details?

I know tuition increases every year at basically every medical school, but 8% seems higher than average.

Great. 8% is absolutely ridiculous. I hope the politicians nix this ASAP, but I don't have too much faith in them doing the right thing.

Yeah, I wouldn't count on that happening. Still cheaper than private school, though 😎

OMG Finally Accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!!

Ok, what now?....I haven't got any emails yet but just the ACCEPTED sign on my status....Are they gonna email me the notice with the link to pay my deposit online? Is that true it will take few days for the system to accept my deposit since I just got accepted? If I choose to pay by check, can I just send them a $100 check solo or do I have to wait to receive the snail mail and send the check with some form?
