>1000, maybe even 1200. I believe the acceptance rate hovers around 25-30% post-interview which is lower that the typical 1/3-1/2Got HFS back in December, I feel you guys. Does anyone ever get accepted from that list before late spring? I feel like this is an awful lot of people to waitlist.. Do they just interview a lot of people?

Hmmm I thought that updates weren't allowed unless they asked for them (according to their website)Really starting to get impatient (and a little delirious) these days and thought I would share my current situation! Complete 9/12. Sent 2 updates so far. Got confirmation they were received but no other news…
I've sent a couple updates and both of them were added to my file they said.Hmmm I thought that updates weren't allowed unless they asked for them (according to their website)
Pre or post interview?I've sent a couple updates and both of them were added to my file they said.
One pre, one postPre or post interview?
Moral of this rejection... never threaten to step on a NYC guys timbs.

They ask your very straight forward and traditional questions. Review your academic history and your application.I have my interview tomorrow, any tips?
Also got put on hold today. Does anyone know what percentage of students get accepted off the wait list? I'm not sure if such a statistic even exists...
No one knows but the students at our lunch both said the number is high. All 4 of the current students that I met on my interview day were accepted off of the waitlist.

It would be really awesome if Someone could be an MVP and call or visit to find out what the actual numbers are for early acceptances and HFS acceptances

Yeah, I am in the same boat. They interview till March, I guess we're all still under review.
Anybody else having trouble accessing the SUNY Website secondary application? I've been trying to log on to check my status the past few days and the website seems to be down.

There is no status checker. Once you submit you're done, everything is done via email.
Yes , in your accepted letter that you should get in the mail it tells you all the requirements you need to do before you begin classes. Like the health forms etc.For accepted students are there any forms we have to fill out or anything we need to do???
is there anyone who has been accepted to the mph program but still not heard back from the md program? Complete in August, sent an update, and still have not heard anything about the MD program.
Can we send thank you notes to our interviewer? I didn't ask before I left.
Their website says we should send the thank you notes to the admission's email. But I noticed that after I sent it directly to my interviewer's email which she left to me before I left. Anyway I don't think it would make a big difference on their decision.

Crap I found my interviewers email and sent it direct as well. She responded back though so I assume all is well.
I sent a thank you note directly to my interviewer and was accepted. Don't think it matters at all.Their website says we should send the thank you notes to the admission's email.

lol my guy was so interesting...he just kind of told me i shouldn't send it. it wouldn't make a difference. it was like that throughout my interview too where he was pretty blunt on killing the formalities. good guy, hope he liked me and gave me an acceptance.Their website says we should send the thank you notes to the admission's email.

Last year the same thing happened to me. Heard from MPH in December and then got the II in late January for a march interview.is there anyone who has been accepted to the mph program but still not heard back from the md program? Complete in August, sent an update, and still have not heard anything about the MD program.
I am neither a student nor an applicant here but I just have to say that your school's gross anatomy practice quizzes are phenomenal and have helped me tremendously.
Just got an II... right after checking this thread wondering if anyone heard back, SO STRANGE. Email says they still haven't selected all the students for entering class, and Interview date will be scheduled after Feb. 24th. I'm so happy for this Yayy!!
+1Also just received the II email right now! 🙂

LizzyM 74, complete early Oct, OOSCongrats fam! Do you guys mind sharing your stats and when you were complete?
II!! Incredibly surprised and elated!! Literally still in a state of shock!
Haven't heard anything yet either.II 2/2/2017 too!
Have they replied back to any of you guys yet about setting up interview dates yet? I sent them a pretty quick reply but haven't heard anything. Then again, it's only been a day. Freaking out!
I got an email about an hour ago saying they'd inform me one month in advance of the interview date. I'm sure you'll be getting an email soon.Haven't heard anything yet either.
