Submitted 8/8. Still not complete. Do they require a non-science LOR? I can't remember.

I submitted 2 science, one employer, one physician.

then u better give them a call, because my letters arrived 8/15, and my status turned to yes about a week ago.
 
Finally marked complete today 9/19 and I submitted on 8/5... I haven't checked my status since last week though, so it could have been changed within the week. Still, it took over a month.
 
Hey guys,

I just heard that they will be doing MMI's starting this year. Also, confirmation that (probably due to this change) they are "a little behind" in the apps process, which hopefully partially helps explain why it's been taking a long time for them to process some of your applications and why interviews are happening later this year than they have in past years. :luck:

Similar for me. Submitted 8/8, marked complete either today or yesterday.

Damn it, I just came from an MMI and it was harsh.

Which school? I have an MMI in October (Cincinnati) and I'm not really looking forward to it.
 
How long does it take for "Certified supplemental application received" to go from pending to yes?

It took 13 days for my LOR to be marked received and another 31 days after that to show "yes." 44 days total from "pending" to "yes." Hang in there.
 
Ah ok. Just wondering since I got disconnected in the middle of submitting my application.
 
We're in October and no invites yet? 😕
 
Submitted 8/24, finally complete 10/5/12. Now let's see if any ii comes rolling out.
 
Taken from their website:

Our interview season begins in November and ends in late April.
 
This is odd. I check the application status page and as of 10/4/12 I have everything in. The only no on the page is where it says the application is complete and ready for review...Doesn't having everything in mean I am complete? 😕

Nope they still have to go in and hand-verify you. Don't worry, everybody's has said that.
 
has anyone received an interview invite yet?

Anyone get a complete email from Albany? I had to go check the status page to find out I'm complete and I still have no email about it a week later.

I never received an email from them, and I've been complete for several weeks.
 
Yeah I don't think they send complete emails. I've been complete for a while now. Hopefully they send out II's soon as November is approaching!

I received a "complete" email soon after submitting the secondary
 
Yea they don't send "complete" emails. I just checked today and my application status as of 10/11 is complete and ready for review by the committee. Maybe i'll hear something from them soon.
 
I submitted my secondary and letters about two months ago, and I'm still not complete, although they say they have received my letters. I think I'll call on Monday. Anybody else have this problem?
 
Yep, my stuff was received in mid august, still not complete uet.
 
What's your favorite and least favorite thing about the school? Is there anything you'd change about it if you could?

Thanks!

wait this school has sent ZERO interviews? whaaaaa... I haven't really been checking this thread but wtf
 
Maybe Albany is shutting down. It's the only explanation for their lolly-gagging.

Maybe they're waiting to see who's left after the January acceptance status is published for all applicants. That way they can focus on kids that would actually go to Albany.
 
Um...I think it's time I make a phone call to see what's up haha

Like I said y'all, their interview season begins in November, so maybe they're just planning to give us almost a nil amount of preparation for their interviews 😛. I know I'd love to interview at Albany (hell guys, its in New York, and I'm a bit tired of the Texas heat, granted its getting colder).

Edit: Also, the ether in this thread on Albany made me lirl.

I must say that lolly-gagging is one of my favorites words. I usually don't post but had to respond to this.. Haha. Yea they need to get moving on this invite thing.
 
I called the admissions office a few days ago. They said I should hear back in one to two weeks. I was complete sometime in early August.
