Accepted!! Interviewed 9/16!!
Accepted as well! OOS, but lived in NY for 26 years, Syracuse for 8. Interviewed 9/14 morning.
I'm assuming it's lunch hour... and hopefully more news is released this afternoon :/
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.

Anyone know if the rest of us from 9/16 can expect to hear back today?
Congrats! The same portal we used to schedule the interview?
Yes 🙂
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.

I called yesterday and the secretary said that there was another committee meeting yesterday and more emails should be sent out today and tomorrow
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...

Did any decisions go out today?
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.
Congrats!
Does it show up on your portal page?
