Is Upstate receptive to ITA?

I'm not sure, tbh it's probably too late for ita.

In regard to a tour/meeting or interview?

I apologize if it's obvious what you mean. Never really understood what "in the area" really meant into terms of the admission process.

Basically you're telling the school you're going to be in the area anyway, so if they're thinking of interviewing you, it would be great if they could extend that II right now so you can interview while you're in the area anyway.

From my understanding, unless you're a rockstar applicant, this matters very little. It's more for schools who are looking to grab the most coveted applicants, I think.

Thank you for the clarification.

That's what I was thinking. It seemed to be an odd attempt to get an interview. However, from what I'm reading elsewhere, it actually works for several schools.

I don't think it would really work for Upstate since they utilize the MMI. It may throw off the flow.
 
Would anyone who has been accepted mind posting their stats and when they submitted their application?
 
Complete 8/2, offered interivew 9/12, Interviewed on 12/7, praying to any deity that will listen for an acceptance.

IS, LizzyM 67. Meh GPA, high MCAT, great ECs and have lived locally.

Last year I received interviews for March and April after no interviews all season. It's not over until all schools have finished interviewing.

Unfortunately I did not interview well enough to earn a spot last cycle, but certainly other people did. You may find yourself interviewing in April and receiving an acceptance a few weeks later or mid-summer. I hope you receive one earlier

That's definitely true. On one of my interviews, a current medical student said he interviewed in June and was offered an acceptance a couple days later. June is wayy after the projected final interview date of that school too.

How did your interview go?!

I feel like it went really well and I have been on two MMI interviews prior and was accepted to both of those schools. Looking back, there's nothing I would have changed.

Congratulations on your acceptance, I hope to be able to join you

I plan on taking the bus. But it will reach their at 12 in the night. Do you think it would be totally rude to ask for a student host. Especially that late at night

I personally wouldn't. There's a hotel basically on the SU campus, and if you're on a bus scheduled to run through campus (some do on the way to the main terminal) you'd be in walking distance. If you aren't on that bus, a taxi would cost 15-20, but would save you from driving...
 
For anyone accepted and interested in living in Geneva Tower, I just noticed the housing application is up! 🙂
 
Just placed on the regular Alternate list.....incredibly disappointed. This was my number one school. I hope it works out better for everyone still waiting.

"Status: Medical Student" ?
 
Mantis32 said:
I interviewed on 11/14.



I was just emailed at 4:00pm



Addendum to that would be: recently accepted to PCOM. For which I am very grateful, but this was the school I was holding onto hope for.

Ah gotcha. Sorry to hear of the outcome with Upstate, but good luck with the rest of your cycle! Keep your head up; it's not over until it's over.
 
I was thinking about withdrawing my II from here until I went to a Interview and saw how the students who interviewed here were so dam happy and gleeful at what they saw at this institution. That caught my eye and now I am booking my travel arrangement lolz .. Funny how things happen

Very sorry to hear this. May I ask how you felt your MMI went?

Awesome. That's a great feeling!

I'm sure you did well. Now it's the hardest part: waiting.

Upstate is your top choice?
 
Rejected pre-II, previously put on hold back in September. Seems like the re-review process noted in the hold email is certainly underway. Oh well, best of luck all.

I felt that it went very well. I wouldnt say that there was nothing I would change but I do not believe that the interview was what caused my placement.

Also just rejected pre-II by email. OOS student.

I dunno, but given everything you guys just went through, and what you're about to go through, I don't feel like waiting is the hardest part, lol.

Hahaha, valid point. Let me change my statement: now onto the hardest part of the application cycle*

What do you think caused the rejection?
 
Noticing changes on the portal. My selected interview date (which has passed) now states no interview date selected. The details portion also reflects some changes. Any other post-interview folks seeing this?

Wow..that would be very quick considering I interviewed last week. Not feeling too great about that. It still says 'congratulations on being selected for an interview!" however.

This is indicative that your application is up for review by the admissions committee and you will likely hear back in a few days! (considering it's a Friday your decision will likely come on Monday)

Good Luck!!
 
I actually received an answer from the admissions department. If anyone else has seen this you can PM me as the answer may reveal some aspects of your application - or just email admissions, they're very kind
 
I'm still on hold pre II I have spent a lot of time at the school doing research in the labs and working with the residents and med students as an undergrad, I was thinking of sending a letter of interest does anyone know if the school is receptive to these/thoughts?

We were told that updates may be helpful post-interview, but I don't know about coming off of a hold.
