I would definitely follow up. You don't want to be delayed over a formality.
I submitted on 8/11 and I wasn't marked totally complete until today.
so I "certified" my secondary yesterday. Does that mean I submitted and should now wait for a complete email sometime soon?I paid the fee, but I am a bit confused with the terminology AMC uses.
Submitted 8/8 and marked complete today, be patient y'all!
It just happened. I know it's hard to wait, but I think they are going so slow because the admissions office is understaffed.
anyone know how long the secondary typically takes to come? was verified over a week ago, but no secondary yet.
It was one of the last ones for me OOS. Verified 6/12 received AMC 7/24.
I'm an MI at AMC...just wanted to warn everyone who is applying to Albany to CHECK THEIR SPAM FOLDER. I don't know if they've fixed the issue this year, but for some reason last year my gmail just didn't like the HTML in their emails. My interview invite went to my "promotions" folder in and my acceptance letter went to my spam folder where I didn't see it for 6 DAYS. It was horrible, and I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone else.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Is it bad if I take a more literal approach to the "describe yourself" prompt? I angled it in an interesting facts sort of way and used it as a way to show my sense of humor but I am worried about it sounding indifferent or sarcastic

It's not a literature course lol. I wouldn't take the risk for no reason.
Unfortunately no. I emailed them a while ago about it and they said they don't have a student host program this year.
Did you contact the person listed on the AMC website?
There is also a townplace suites a tad further then the hilton but still very close to the college. Idk which is usually cheaper.
FYI, I sent an email today to make sure they weren't waiting on anything from me. They replied pretty quickly to say that my application was complete. They said they have a large volume of applications and a staff shortage.
whaat i emailed them like a week ago, and i still didn't get a response. i submitted everything like the first week of august, and im still not complete. what email address did you email them at? thanks!
ouchhh. well ill take a look at my email again, but could you please tell me what email address you sent your email to? thanks!
Sorry, I was totally kidding. I accidentally posted before I put in the smiley and email address.
hahaha no worries. thanks
Just got here. Anyone else interviewing tomorrow?
Good luck! I'm interviewing somewhere else tmrw, but I'm sure you'll do great!!
Thanks! You too!
Hi, I recently changed my stay from Hilton Garden Inn to Cresthill Suites (within 5 miles of AMC). I have a room with 2 queen beds for the night of 9/30. I spoke with a representative through the phone and he confirmed that there are breakfast and shuttles included. PM me if you're interested in sharing the room!
And best of luck to other applicants and interviewees!

Does anyone know if Albany screen prior to sending out secondaries? My primary has been verified since 8/22, but I have not received an e-mail for the secondary. I'm particularly worried, because I have a 6 in verbal with a composite score of 29.
How was the interview day, if anyone interviewed? Getting nervous for MMI...

Can't "Save My Photo" when uploading the photo for interview response form... Anyone else have this problem?
I tried doing it on Safari and it would not work. You have to use Mozilla Firefox.
You must use firefox.
Doesn't work on chrome either - they specifically say Firefox only.
Chrome worked for me. Did you guys get a confirmation letter after scheduling the interview date?
