ending interviews in january would seem to explain the existence of their so-called "high-priority waitlist", which more or less could be seen as de facto acceptances. decide on your pool of people you like by feburary, pick names off the mover list as people withdraw, and accept people off the other wait list if necessary.
pure speculation on my part tho

The website says interviews are till march, and RIPCombo says ppl he knows have March interviews. But idk, I already know I have to wait regardless lol.
i'm going by this - http://www.upstate.edu/com/admissions/interview.php
"Interviews are conducted on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning in September and continuing until the end of January."
"Interviews are conducted on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning in September and continuing until the end of January."
I had seen that same info on their website, but they actually interview until March. I am scheduled for an interview in February (they gave me that back in October) so that proves that interviews don't end in January
CONGRATS to all the recent acceptances!!!

Congrats! When did you interview?
So you made an account today just to post an acceptance to upstate and say you interviewed on a Saturday? Right congrats indeed.
haha sorry it was a monday interview so maybe the 10th. I apologize, I didn't look at the calendar before posting that, for some reason the 8th just stuck out in my head. I found this forum today and thought it would be nice to reach out to fellow student who are entering this fall and congratulate everyone on their acceptance.
More devastating news for me during a devastating process. High priority alternate list for me.
Ahhh no :-/ your time is coming, friend. The good news you get in the future is going to be so much sweeter now!
I hope so, but at the same time I'm finding it difficult to remain hopeful with bad news becoming the norm for me here lol. trying to stay positive
Stay positive buddy! I am sure you are bound to hear good news. When did you interview for upstate?
thanks. early December for me
the dean of admissions said the HPA list has significant movement. it's not an outright acceptance, but the med students stressed to us that getting placed on the HPA list is a positive outcome
What about students who were on hold? Are there many students on hold who end up matriculating?
On hold post or pre interview? I can't speak for pre interview but post interview, the situation is bleek.
pre interview :/
thanks! that's extremely encouraging to hear, and I really hope you're right!
Anything we can do to help our chances? send updates or anything?

If it makes you feel any better, getting a spot on the HPA is way better than rejection or a seat on the low priority list. There's heavy movement on the list every year. No reason to lose hope!
That's what I was told and did!
Same with me, received the decision this morning.

I had a question. if I'm on the HPWL, would a letter of intent mean anything, or do they kinda not wanna be bothered with those?
the director/dean of admissions lady at the interview (i think her first name was jennifer?) said that the in state/OOS selection process occurs pre-interview, and that once you've passed the II stage everyone is on equal footing

I haven't gotten the email yet or packet, but portal changed to accepted! *enormous sigh of relief* This is the only school that I interviewed at, and I wasn't feeling too optimistic about my chances.
I put down the deposit, but the paranoid part of me is wondering whether this is some huge, horrible mistake.....I see it took some people a little bit to get their emails, but should I call the office to make sure or should I sit tight?

Thanks! (I'm really hoping it's not some clerical error!)
I interviewed early December, and I'm in-state.
sit tight
I too, saw a status change and put in a deposit immediately back in November
i never ended up getting an email but a packet showed up in the mail a couple weeks later with big words congratulating you on your acceptance.
congrats!
