How is the waitlist movement here?

Mind sharing your stats Mr.Bond? Is or oos? Congrats!Just got my acceptance email about an hour ago!
They also have 40 more spots in the class thoughWait list movement is decent here. They wait list around 200-250 people. They used to tier the wait list into thirds and let you know which third (1st, 2nd, or dreaded 3rd) you were in. Typically they would make it into the bottom of the 2nd tier by the start of the year. However there are more applicants every year. It is probably safe to assume about half of those wait-listed will be accepted.
(I'm a current 3rd year)
I received an email with a form I needed to sign to confirm my fufillment of the prerequisites and instructions on how to pay the deposit.For those of you accepted, did you receive a formal acceptance packet? All I received so far was a letter. Just am paranoid I'm missing things.
And for those of you waiting, good luck!
Hey guys, any advice for interview day?
sorry to hear! guess we should all be on the alert for these coming out now. i think you're the first report.Rejected, pre II
It's interesting to see a pre-I rejection pop up. I'm IS, complete since July and still haven't heard a peep!sorry to hear! guess we should all be on the alert for these coming out now. i think you're the first report.
mind sharing when you were complete?

10/24
Hope is still alive!II just now!! Wasn't expecting this one. Complete late August
YesNo word/hold at all. Any chance of me receiving an interview at this point?
Gpa around 3.8, MCAT 515. All that is blinded during the interview. Interviewers have everything on you but your numbers.Would anyone who has gotten accepted mind saying what their stats were?

Mr. Rosso actully said only 10 people remained on the waitlist? He nvr said that at my interview dayIt seems they waitlist almost everyone who isn't rejected. Dr. Severin said that if we're waitlisted not to worry because there is a good chance we get off of the waitlist. Mr. Rosso said that at the end of last cycle only 10 people remained on the waitlist (not sure how many withdrew before the end of the cycle).

Ya he said he always feels bad when he sees people on the waitlist who weren't accepted anywhere else because they may have been diamonds in the rough. He said that last year of the 10 people who remained on the waitlist 3 of them (I think?) weren't holding acceptances anywhere else and that if the class size were only slightly bigger they would have all been accepted
I could guarantee you that is completely false. just right off the top of my head I know 4 ppl (including me) that didn't get off the waitlist with no acceptances anywhere else last cycle. last cycle I kept track of just the SDN pool of people that were waitlisted and I could for sure say that more than 10 people were still on the list by the start of the school year and thats not even counting people not on SDN. its kind of annoying that they lie about stuff like that. they can easily just avoid giving false info by just not saying stuff like that. it gives unnecessary false hope. My guess after obsessively following the whole cycle last year. 1/3- 1/2 at the very best get accepted off the waitlist (but a decent amount also decline). The waitlist is also not as short as they make it sound. At the very least, there are about 250 people on the list. My guess is a little shy of 300 probably 280. But I am not surprise that it is north of 300. From what I heard, few get rejected (~20% interviewed) and the rest is accepted or put on the waitlist
That makes sense, the numbers didn't quite add up. They said they're still interviewing 600 applicants, so with 180 spots, there could be a lot of waitlist movement. If only we knew the school's yield. Last year Stony Brook (most comparable school I could find with available data) accepted 394 students to fill their class of 132, which is almost exactly 3 acceptances per seat. I think Stony Brook is usually ranked higher, so I'm guessing we can conservatively estimate that Buffalo also accepts 3 applicants per seat. So 540 acceptances out of 600 interviews? 90% post-interview acceptance rate? I could see them taking most of the waitlist in that scenario, but only if they are accepting 3 applicants to fill one seat, which is just a guess on my part.
Hi all, I interviewed at this school, during the tour Mr. Rousso said that of the top ten people in the waitlist, 7 had no acceptances and 3 did. He was saying that those 10 people were very qualified, not that there were only ten people on the waitlist. Hope this clarifies something for the people who were upset.
P.S. Mr Rousso does not work for Tim Horton's or Paula's Donuts.

Complete late June and haven't heard anything. IS. LizzyM 70. Not really sure why? Have already been accepted elsewhere.Has Buffalo sent out any pre-II rejections aside from that random one report? They seem awfully quiet this cycle, no?

hey guys, maybe one of you can help me out. I've been accepted here OOS, and I've been trying to figure out how hard it is to claim NY residency after one year. I really really don't wanna pay 60k tuition for 4 years. From what I've gathered, it looks like it's possible to get NY state residency. How hard is it/do you know anyone who has done it? Do I have to do anything besides have an off campus residence?
this is great news!I've heard NY is remarkably easy, just showing that you have the lease with the date on it is sometimes enough. But to be safe, I'd get the NY driver's license and potentially change your plates if you bring a car.
