Well it doesn't look like anything they can't fix... I think they should be fine...

How come when I go to select the application I want to complete the only option to chose from is Rural Medicine Supplemental? Anyone else with this problem?

Yes. I await the gunners who will call the office to tell them to fix it.

Oh okay, if it's a glitch then the office is probably aware of the situation.

 

[BecksTriad]

I'll wait till tmrw then to open it up🙂

 

[FD50]

I gunned it. Still waiting for a reply. It seems like a lot of schools have issue with their online apps....

 

[typicalindian]

[byaaaaaaah23]

This is the most expensive secondary I have seen yet! Kinda making me think twice..

I am wondering the same thing!!

As a Syracuse resident, SUNY Upstate is my first choice. Hoping for some in-city love 😛

I went to their open house and I got to admit, the staff, students, and general atmosphere was great, really laid back. 🙂

 

[brandonh4]

It's working now.

Question: For Course Requirements, should we enter ALL courses taken under that subject? Or only fill enough to fulfill the requirements?

 

[BecksTriad]

i only did the pre-reqs! wooooo one more secondary DONE 🙂

 

[moxie2570]

Note for those applying to the rural medicine program:

The application contains two sections ("Additional Information" and "Rural Medicine Scholars") that basically ask the same questions (with some small differences). I called the admissions office today and we only have to fill out one of those sections.

 

[ClotBuster]

Anyone know how the fee waiver works for Upstate?

 

[unhappytnt]

Submitted! 🙂

 

[tommy7191991]

I just called them...They said they want you to print out the signature page as well as the AAMC Fee Waiver email and mail it to their office.

[byaaaaaaah23]

Is the fee $100 or $110? My email says $110 and the page after I hit submit says $100-- I want to hold off on submitting for a little while otherwise I would just try it myself 🙂

The application fee is $110 this year.

I emailed Upstate about if I should resubmit since I only paid the $100. They said it was a glitch but that I am fine just paying the $100.

 

[typicalindian]

submitted as well.

Ok I knew Upstate was a very laid back school (too much so, according to some), but this secondary was amazing. It took me under 10 minutes to complete it, after I spent a couple days each on Miami and NYU. Thank you Upstate.

 

[Fivo]

Am I missing something or has no one posted the secondary? Can you guys either please post it or email gettheleadout so he can update the first post? Thanks a bunch.

 

[unhappytnt]

I just called them...They said they want you to print out the signature page as well as the AAMC Fee Waiver email and mail it to their office.

Wait, do we still need to mail them that signature page if we paid it online?

Also I paid $100 too 😕

There are no essay prompts if that's what you are asking

I think last year you were given prompts after the interview invite...I could be wrong.

 

[BecksTriad]

Got my complete email today

 

[BigBear123]

I am divided as to whether I even want to submit my secondary here given the high secondary fee and that the school is allegedly on probation. Thoughts?

I don't think the probation is a huge issue, only because I can't imagine this school losing accreditation. It's an established program, and a lot of students from my school go there. Not to say the probation doesn't matter. It'll definitely be a notch against Upstate, if I end up deciding between schools. But, it's not enough to keep me form attending if everything else is good.

-2 cents

I also have the same questions!? did you guys print the signature page and mail it in?!

 

[brandonh4]

I did, but I had the AMCAS fee waiver so I didn't go through with a payment...

 

[typicalindian]

wtf?? we have to MAIL in the signature page?

 

[6svette]

Not if you paid the fee with credit card

 

[typicalindian]

Not if you paid the fee with credit card

Oh phew, I was worried lol. Thanks!

 

[Ssina]

Not if you paid the fee with credit card

yeah, I called this morning and they told me the same thing

 

[427016]

Has anyone's letters of rec been posted as received?

 

[tommy7191991]

They just posted my LOR as received

 

[ClotBuster]

Just got the complete email

 

[syt]

I have a fee waiver as well, and on the "Pay Now" page it says "If you answered "Yes" to the question, "Did you receive a fee waiver from AMCAS?", click on the Submit link on the bottom of the page instead of the "Pay Now" button."

I do not see a Submit link... I assume my application is not complete until I submit, can any one help if there is actual link to click, and if so can you provide it? Thanks.
