2015-2016 SUNY Upstate Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
By portal, is that the same website we submitted the secondary on?

it is, yes. Basically you'll see in big text under the "Processed Applications" on the page immediately after login:

Congratulations on being selected for an Interview!

fyi: it doesn't seem like they send interview emails. I still haven't received one.

they do send interview emails.... I received one. but it seems not everyone does. strange system.
 
Ughhh come on Upstate! Send me something please haha
 
FYI:
I haven't received my packet yet, but I went onto the portal this morning and there is a little blurb on the bottom congratulating acceptance and an option for paying the deposit.

Congrats! The same portal we used to schedule the interview?
 
Unfortunately my portal still looks the same so I guess this doesn't bode well for me! Hopefully I'm wrong because I loved Upstate!
I don't remember checking my portal on Friday (when I received the email) and I definitely didn't over the weekend, so they may have only added that this morning.

Keep your head up! 🙂
 
I was able to snag a spot for Wednesday for an interview. Any last minute advice? Thanks all and good luck!

I know it may not seem helpful but the best thing to do is just relax when the day comes. Everybody was super friendly and helpful, and I left with a great impression of the school. The MMI seemed way more intimidating initially than it ended up being, so unless you're literally unable to form coherent thoughts or opinions regarding basic interview questions there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
 
Just paid my deposit as well! One of my top-choices 🙂 Good luck to those still applying!
 
I don't want to be "that obnoxious applicant" but I really want to call admissions and ask when the rest of the 9/16 students might hear back...
 
Wow congrats on everyone who was accepted! I have my interview here (first one) next week and am getting nervous!
 
Does anybody who's contacted the admissions office happen to know what days their committee regularly meets/sends out decisions? I'm finally realizing this would probably be way less stressful if I wasn't blindly anticipating news every single day...

I interviewed 9/16 and I haven't heard yet, but if I remember correctly, the DoA said they meet on Mondays to make decisions
 
Has anyone tried rescheduling their interview date to an earlier day? Is it risky if my interview is already in late January?

I rescheduled several times. Just be quick so you can reselect your current one if nothing is available.
 
Officially have become that annoying, anxious, stressed out premed playing this waiting game...

Can someone please remind me what the secondary asked for/required? I am post-interview and I have some updates, which I put into my secondaries for a lot of schools where it was possible, and I can't remember what I did for SUNY or if there was even an opportunity to do so.
 
Interviewed 9/16....accepted today by snail mail! Still no acceptance email though which is odd
 
Odd....
You have no idea how fast I got to my building's elevator to go check my mail.
Are you in NY? Is there any indication when the letter was sent?
