is it bad if your interviewer didn't get to ask a follow-up question? this was my first MMI and I totally forgot there would be follow-up questions..so I talked on and on for this one question and he asked a follow-up, but we ran out of time so I couldn't answer. Also did any interviewers give anybody feedback of any sort? like "that was a good answer" or "wow, i was impressed by your answer"...anything of that sort?

I feel it's so dependent on the flow of the discussion and the interviewers style, but you're not alone in getting no response. I got no feedback from the interviewer on what I felt was my most well put together answer (but somewhat lengthy) of my MMI responses. Maybe you knocked it so far out of the park that they didn't have a follow up? 🙂

Hi all. I am an out of stater from the midwest who is going to be interviewing in February. I read in this article from the director of admissions (http://www.accepted.com/chat/transcripts/2011/med06062011_suny.aspx) from 2012 that the is/oos split is determined pre-interview by suny downstate. I was wondering if this was still the case and that once offered an interview being oos no longer diminished your chances of acceptance? Thanks!

nah I doubt it, for that question I was like "so yeah...blah blah blah" and then he said "ok what about this then" and then the voice overhead told us to leave and he said maybe another time then. he looked disappointed so I have no idea..
 
"Congratulations on your interview" status gone today. I think it was still there yesterday.

My congrats status has been gone for at least a week, so I'm not sure that the disappearance really means the decision is imminent after all...

From previous threads, it seems like its disappearance corresponded with a pending decision. But who knows. Maybe they're just preparing to notify all of us in a huge wave soon. Hopefully we all receive good news!

I think 1:30? I was in the later morning ones (10:15) and I was out at 3:30.

They tell you in the email I think though.

Yeah they say around that time but I just wanted to ask some people who've been there since I've got a really close flight out (2:30PM, yikes!)

no i dont' think thats necessarily something to be concerned about. i think its understandable in the short time that mmi allots you sometimes end up not going over everything. i always tried to steer the conversation to address all aspects of the conversation and if your interviewer didn't get aroudn to it then its not your fualt.
 
Just randomly checked my portal today since I saw that acceptances were going out on a Sunday, and I got a II!!!! Was so excited... until the only day that was available was in March =(. anyone with luck getting an earlier day after having to schedule a late one?
 
Accepted! Interview date 10/1. Good luck everyone waiting! It's worth it.
 
Congratulations to all the recent acceptances! I interviewed 10/6 and am anxiously awaiting my decision...really loved Upstate and hoping for some love in return!
Just as an aside, nobody from 10/6 has heard anything yet right? The latest I've heard has been these 10/1 dates.
ETA: My "congratulations on your interview" status hasn't disappeared yet 🙁 I'm gonna take that as a sign that I have at least another week or two of waiting to do...

I scheduled mine yesterday and honestly, the only available date was early March.

I did the same yesterday and got one for late February as well. Just wondering if I should have waited till today, as they seemed to have sent out some acceptances and the official email for the next batch of interviews; they may have cleared up dates people cancelled on that were earlier.

My "congratulations on being invited for an interview" status disappeared today...I interviewed 10/6. Any other applicants from that date have their status change?
Starting to hyperventilate right about now

I interviewed on 10/6 as well, and I haven't heard anything either. Portal still has interview info on it.
