It's very possible it will snow mid November but from my experiences in Western NY the big snowfall doesn't start until December!

accepted last week! Good luck to everyone!
Anyone know the grading scheme at UB? is it pass fail for 2 years?
II today! Complete early/mid July so there's hope. OOS
For the first two years, it's honors/high satisfactory/satisfactory/fail. However, I have to say that our class has been super chill, that all of us know step 1 is more important, and that preclinical grades don't matter much for residency application in the long term. I am uncertain how AOA at UB is given to students, but the bottom line is that most of us are not cut-throat at all and simply work hard everyday.
If you want the proof, talk to any of M1s during your interview day. Most of them will admit that medical school is hard but not because the grade scheme is not pass/fail, but because there are simply a lot of materials to cover, just like any other medical schools.
Yea, I did actually. ii for next week
hows the interview here? conversational or interrogational (if that's even a word lol)?
It really depends on who you get as interviewers, but mine were both very relaxed and conversational.
Usually conversational.
It will be very relaxing, but at the same time, be ready to discuss (casually) about anything in your application with some examples/stories if you can. If all of your answers are short, it might be difficult for interviewers to make the interviews conversational, you know.
Only post-II. Says in your secondary instructions email :/
Yeah I called and they said no pre-interview updates.

Accepted just now via email! Interviewed 10/22.
II today, 11/7. But, I am turning down the interview, so there will be another slot open in December. So, for the timeline, etc, Received Secondary 7/7, Submitted secondary 7/7...having no essay was great when I was mired in essays. Application complete on 7/16. LizzyM--70. It's a tad too cold in Buffalo for me.
Best of luck to all of you guys. I had my interview 10/1 and was accepted. Buffalonian since birth and UB undergrad so I'm psyched to say the least. Looking forward to meeting many of you in the fall!
I read some previous posts in this thread about in the area emails, but never saw a clear consensus about U Buffalo's policy on them. Does anyone know if SUNY Buffalo would be receptive to an in the area email?
anybody interviewing tomorrow and have no idea how they're getting to buffalo? i'll probably just tell them I can't make it and hope I can reschedule..
Good luck with that. Rent a snowmobile? [emoji13]
Believe it or not, the part of Buffalo where the medical school is located has been completely unaffected by this storm, whereas areas just 10 miles away have been utterly bombarded, which would be super surprising to me if it happened anywhere but here (you kind of come to expect these sorts of things after living here for so long). Not sure about the airport, but your best bet is to call the school and see what they say. I'm sure they'll be very understanding of the situation.
You should be able to reschedule! No worries!
Does UB give post-interview rejections? And does anyone have idea how many of the ~620 interviewees end up on the waitlist? I heard there is alot of movement come April on UB's waitlist, is this true?
I heard roughly 2/3 get off the waitlist

Interviewing on Wednesday! So excited, but definitely nervous. First MD interview, accepted to two DO schools.
same
Withdrew my interview for 12/3, I hope one of you guys gets it!
when are waitlist rankings disclosed to us?
Complete since early Sept, no news. OOS. Have they rejected pre-interview yet?
would like to know too
I'll be in the area at a couple points coming up, so I figured I may as well try sending an ITA email. got a response basically saying we'll see how the committee feels about you when they decide, so I don't think it was any help.
HA!!! My interview was scheduled on the day of the 60 inch snowstorm! Never got up there. Rescheduled but in the meantime got in somewhere else. Giving up my ii date & hope one of you get it!
+1
did they email you?
They did.
