Ah ok thanks. I interviewed 10/7, so I guess they're almost on October.
I started at 10:15 and finished at around 3:00.

Yep. It's ok, still gotta hear back from tons of other schools. Best of luck to everyone else!!
Sorry to hear as well, were you ever on hold first?
I don't think so. I never got an email or anything in my portal saying "on hold". I applied on the later side (mid-October). To be honest, I see a lot of people saying they're on hold at different schools, but I'm not completely sure if that means they got an email or just haven't heard anything.
Ah well generally I thought people say "hold" when they get an email specifically saying so- I got an email saying I was on hold in sept. Best of luck with the rest of your apps
Do we know what the prognosis is for being on pre-interview hold at Upstate?
It looks pretty bleak but I'm not 100% sure
Accepted!!
3.8 GPA 516 MCAT
3.8 GPA 516 MCAT

MS1 here.
No...I know at least 2 people who were pre-interview hold in my class
Portal went blank. Interviewed 10/5
Wow! I interview 10/21 and I have no change on my portal yet. Congratulations.
Thank you! I think I'm going to call tomorrow to make sure it's not a glitch.. I haven't received an e-mail yet.
Made sure to pay my deposit though!
Why would it be a glitch. Congratulations!
lool niceee! you must've rocked the interview. no portal change for me yet either though. Interviewed 10/7.
Because the people who interviewed 1-3 weeks before me haven't heard back yet. And because I haven't received an email yet :\
I thought I did well during the MMI but I still had doubts in my mind. Hope you hear some (good) news soon!
Edit: Just called and someone confirmed my acceptance!!!!!!!!!

Glad it wasn't a glitch and congrats! but man if my decision ever happens to be in truth a glitch I'm gonna make my deposit so fast they will never kno
Accepted! Interviewed 10/5. 3.7 GPA and 34 MCAT. OOS.
Where would you see that on the portal? I don't see anything
Yup on the portal
*crossing fingers for some portal updates this week*. 10/21 interviewee here.
10/19 here, hoping for the same!
Those who submitted the acceptance deposit. Is your portal now blank?
Yes.
The only difference now is when you click the 2015 application or whatever is that transcripts from my schools have been added into the table. (Once submitted, they'll add a date received)
Did you send those separately? Or are those just from AMCAS? Mine aren't appearing there. Just my recs show.
I haven't sent any yet, but I sent my deposit a week or so after Oct 15 so that may be the difference.

We used the hotel that used to be a temple / synagogue (I can't remember which is was and what the name is, something modern sounding) upstate som interviewees received a discount and there was a shuttle service basically everywhere for free other than the mall. We finished earlier than expected (1.30) but if you actually end at 3, then yes you'll be fine for the 5pm flight.
Was it Skyler?
Yea hotel skyler- it was worth it and you should be able to make that flight
I was rejected here post interview, does anyone know if that's uncommon? I thought I had a great interview day, but all I've only seen one other person on this thread mention a post interview rejection. I'm starting to think I must've really screwed up on interview day to not at least make the hold list.
If it's useful and/or possible, I remember them saying on my interview day that they want people to succeed and that if you get rejected, to schedule an appointment to sit down and discuss why and where you can improve. I assume this is more in the spring time after most things have been sorted out, but wouldn't hurt to ask at this point.
Damn that sucks and I hope you get in elsewhere! This was my first interview day and I'm also not sure how i did since it was an MMI interview. Hoping for the best honestly. If you don't mind me asking, what date did you interview?
Got an interview today! 🙂
Ahh, I am so excited 🙂
Ahh, I am so excited 🙂
Anyone know how long after the interview they usually get back to you with a decision?
