Thanks!!
Stats and complete date?
The amount of research is pretty variable. Upstate is right next to Syracuse University and SUNY ESF, so the opportunities and academic environment is definitely there. That said, you need to be aggressive with it, and realize that bench research will be tough to do from here on out simply because the sustained effort and time are hard to come by. I came to upstate with a strong bench and teaching background but did no research until fourth year. I still talked a lot about research in my essays, etc.
Thank you!
Note that some interviews have the MMI at the end of the day, after the student lead tour.
Did you have the 8am start or 10?
You simply receive an email from Upstate that says you're on hold.
Nice! What were your stats? And do you have an exact complete date lol?
Oh ****...I was complete the same day but no news, LizzyM 72. You had a quick turn around!
Oh basically are you White, Asian, Black or Hispanic. White and Asian are ORM, Black and Hispanic are URM.
Thanks dude! I will await it with bated breath lol
If I could comment on this question -- they want you to be interested in whatever medicine you find interesting. The RMed program exists, and if you are interested in spending some of your clerkship in a rural area with a community hospital, they have a pathway for you to do that. Additionally, the Syracuse and Binghamton clinical campus selection for MS3 allows you to tailor the type of clinical experience you will be exposed to. In my cohort, several people are participating in the RMed program, and 1/4 of the class will spend their third year in Binghamton. But as much as rural populations need access to good medical care, urban environments also see a large disparity in access to healthcare. I haven't felt that anyone has wanted the students to be interested in rural medicine vs. primary care vs. a specialty.
The admissions women was SO laid back honestly. She even said she doesn't care which you prefer and the admissions people who review your file will not see which campus you prefer to go to. She said just do some research and pick the one that seems like you will like the best. (You can put that you only prefer one over the other, that way if you are put on the waitlist and either campus opens up you will be contacted) They said it is honestly up to you and they don't prefer one or the other. I was really interested in the syracuse campus but after hearing a bit more about the Binghamton experience from some students I would be happy with either. They said that at the bing you have a really close relationships with the physicians and may be doing first assist whereas the syracuse you would be watching a procedure behind 10 other students. I was honestly so surprised how laid back everyone seemed there. Even the MMI was more laid back than any of the others I've been too and most of the interviewers were super new so they said they didn't really know what they were doing LOL. If you go to bing for 3rd year you can always go back to syracuse for your fourth year.
I would like to know this as well...
