Accepted !!! So excited
Interviewed 1/11 and was placed on the UC list last week.
ACCEPTED FROM THE UC LIST TODAY!!!!!!! Completely shocked to hear from UC so early and absolutely ECSTATIC! First acceptance... love this school.. and very good chance I'll be here next year. WOW. Good luck to those waiting to hear!
congratulations!
hopefully more of us on the UC list will be graced with early movement off of the list in the very, very near future
If you flew, did you fly into Albany or LaGuardia? I'm considering flying into LaGuardia because it's cheaper and renting a car to get there.
Also, when I got my invite, I didn't get any hosting information so I'm assuming they were already full (it's not one of the restricted days). Has anyone had experience with any hotels in the area?
Try Southwest, they have a reputation of cheaper flights to Albany. I got mine for around $325 with your same times.
Ii today!
I'm excited to see all of the early movement on the UC list! Last year there was absolutely none until April! I hope this bodes well for our chances of getting off! 🙂 It looks like their plea for applicants to withdraw the application sooner has been very effective.
What is the post-interview acceptance rate roughly? My interview is begin of April, I'm suspicious it may be just for the waitlist...
so, what are the strengths of this school? I'm thinking, for an upcoming interview, in terms of the "why Albany" question, and was wondering if anyone has any insights.
hmm I don't like how that works since I have a pretty low gpa. I feel like that's just gonna be held against me and I have to swing for the fences on the interview...
When I interviewed one of the presentations given mentioned that since Albany is not attached to an undergrad institution, you basically have the entire hospital (shadowing, volunteer opportunities, etc) all to the medical school instead of having to share all of our resources with pre-medical students.so, what are the strengths of this school?

Interviews at AMC are never just for the waitlist. The decision to accept vs. place in the under consideration category is based on a score tallied from your application and your interview. If your total is above the acceptance cut-off you are offered an acceptance, regardless of when you interview. If you are below the cut-off you are placed on the UC list. The cut-off starts high in Fall and gradually lowers as they tally how many acceptance offers still need to be made. Overall I think there are 600+ interviews and they probably offer 200-300 acceptances for about 100 seats. It was a few years ago now, but I interviewed at the very end of March and was accepted the next week, so the time of year your interview really has nothing to do with your chance of acceptance.
just curious about what will happen if 200 people who are accepted want to go AMC cuz there are just 100 seats😕
If ya read through the previous pages of this thread, you find answer.
A bit more than 300 are accepted, but that includes those that got off waitlist eventually.
Invite today. Complete in August.
This school was my one interview last year - and I languished on the UC list.
Happy to be going back, tho!
I completed back in august as well but still no word... 3.47/31Q. (and a really crummy personal statement or something)...
Did you ever call or inquire to get their attention?.. last I recall they weren't open to updates.
so, i was talking to a friend who is currently 1st year in med school (not albany). i mentioned amc, and he said "oh, that's a bad school." i asked what he meant. he said "it's just not a good program." he didn't really give any reason. i visited there early last year and thought it was amazing.
anyone have any insights into this? i know it's not harvard, but it's an md school, so it can't be that bad. why would someone say this
Anyone interviewing on 2/23 next week Thursday morning? Any tips about the place, such as what to visit stuff like that or any tips at all is appreciated. Thanks.
Cool, same here. Will be there on the 22nd and leaving at Friday morning as well. Just that my interviews in the morning of Thursday. Since there will be some down time, was wondering what kind of stuff there is to see in Albany. But I am open to more interview tips as well 🙂
For tips, I would look at the SDN interview feedback here :http://studentdoctor.net/schools/school/amc. Click on View Survey Results under Interview Feedback. Hope that helps 🙂
Thanks 🙂
