So everybody who's been accepted has been able to see it on their portal? What about those who have been waitlisted/rejected? My portal is still exactly the same (i.e. my interview appointment is still displayed) so I'm hoping my application just has yet to be reviewed.

When did you interview? It seems like they only got up to 9/16 because I haven't seen anyone who interviewed after that date who received a decision

Received acceptance packet today, managed to get placed in the Syracuse campus for my clinicals, very excited

Where does it say your clinical campus?

Someone earlier mentioned if you still have the interview display, it means they haven't made a decision on your file yet.

Clinical campus was not shown on my portal, but was in my acceptance packet.

 

[Hera A]

Ah ok. Well I said Syracuse only, so I'm assuming that's what they'd have to give me

 

[superbadder]

I interviewed on 9/16 but I did hear earlier this week that other applicants still hadn't had their applications reviewed (even after Monday), so hopefully these additional acceptances mean they'll make some more headway on the rest of the 9/16 group early next week. Was just curious as to how reliable/timely the portal changes were!

 

[k2cucu1]

Well, just checked my own portal page...accepted!!!
Interviewed 9/16, first acceptance of the cycle!

haha yep portal has been updated... im guessing it shows up on the portal when they send out the letter? Also I'm in state and in syracuse the letter was prob mailed yesterday or the day before..

 

[pageantry]

Omg me too! Interviewed 9/16, accepted via portal! Holy crap!

Awww you remembered. 🙂
Might still get the occasional flat tire tho. 😡

I interviewed 9/21 and just got accepted via... (I'm as surprised as you are) snail mail?? My portal changed from "congrats on your interview" to nothing a few days ago, but I never got an email. When I checked it just now, however, there was a big "congrats on the acceptance" under processed applications. So maybe they are sending out letters and waiting to update the portal until they've been delivered? Not sure, but the acceptance letter was dated 10/20.

I haven't heard anything since my interview and my portal had the "congrats on your interview" message until today. I just checked it and now it says nothing, but I haven't gotten an email or letter. I really hope I wasn't rejected. Hopefully your theory is correct and they are sending out letters and waiting to update the portal until they've been delivered. really hope I hear some good news

[OprahFTWfry]

"Congrats on Interview" notice disappeared today. Fingers crossed! Good luck, y'all!

 

[The Tower]

I'm rooting for you guys! Breathe and look the devil in the eye

Me too

Is Upstate receptive to post-hold updates?

 

[superbadder]

My portal also went blank yesterday and the anticipation is simply awful

 

[danib2k15]

Anyone gonna call and ask if they will release today?

 

[superbadder]

I actually tried but didn't get through to anybody. Did anybody else give them a call?

 

[Dr. Eggbeard]

I called. I told them that I interviewed on September 23rd and they told me that I shouldn't expect to hear for another month.

 

[lifterpremed]

I called. I told them that I interviewed on September 23rd and they told me that I shouldn't expect to hear for another month... This is especially odd considering that on the day that I interviewed they told us that we should expect to hear within a week of October 15th. The woman on the phone told me that they were behind but behind is an understatement if the information she gave me is accurate.

I interviewed yesterday and the Dean said that they are behind by 5-6 weeks.

Does your portal still have the information about scheduling your interview on it? That means the committee hasn't reviewed your file yet post-interview, so if that's the case you'll probably have to wait a while longer. This Wednesday marks 6 weeks since my interview and my portal was just blanked out yesterday (which is the case for a lot of us) so that's why we're wondering about our decisions this week. Do your best to be patient, although I know it absolutely sucks

 

[lifeisnotthatserious]

I wonder if they put internationals on HOLD, i received an email saying that I was put on hold. Did anyone who is international student get interviewed so far?

this school is very Canadian friendly. I have been interviewed (sorry, changed my msg because I thought I was replying to Wayne State) on 10/21

I interviewed 10/21 and they told us a similar thing.. said "realistically first week of December"

Anyone here interviewing on 12/9?

Canadian applicant.
Also put on hold on Sept 21. Hopefully we hear some positive news soon!

I was also in the 10 am group

I don't think theyre going in order because if you look at past posts, it certainly appears that that not all people on 16 were reviewed.

 

[kinda_desperate]

interviewed 9/21, also accepted via portal 🙂)))

ok so its confirmed. wonder if its purely by chance or they try to review better applicants first. im also wondering how much of their class has been filled up already...probably shouldve picked the early september slots in hindsight

I would really try hard not worry - They already said they were behind so I highly doubt many acceptances have gone out at all. I only received a portal acceptance, not even an email so it seems pretty clear to me that they are swamped right now. Hopefully when you do hear, it will be good news!

Side note - when I interviewed I honestly did not feel great about my performance. So for those of you who did not feel great afterwards, you never know!

I'm thinking that maybe it depends more on how quickly you chose your campus preference online?

Agreed, I definitely thought I'd done atrociously so don't worry about it. Also, I've yet to get the acceptance email as well.

Neither have I...I called admissions to try to find out my clinical campus but the woman was kind of weird and said she needed to have someone else call me back....should I be worried?
