Does anyone know what the GPA/ MCAT cutoffs are? I am a NY resident if that has any impact. I can't seem to find the data on their website.

People who got IIs do you mind sharing when you were verified complete? I got a complete email 2 weeks after submitting..

Do any of you know where I would be able to submit 'additional' information and/or if the admission team will actually take this into consideration? Most of the other schools have tabs on the secondary where you can update admissions about certain things you do throughout the year. Does anything like that exist for Buffalo?

I pressed submit but the email instructions say not to do anything after if you have a fee waiver, but the status checker says it's not received yet. What do I do!?

I actually think its kind of helpful. If it is truly "random" (which I personally don't believe...), it should make us calm down. 528+4.0+HYP undergrad has the same likelihood of being reviewed with a more humble application...none of this "let's interview the top tier candidates first and follow up with bums for our waitlist..." mentality that most other medical schools incorporate

As much as I'd like to believe this, I don't think this really what happens. It could easily be random, but in a different way. For example, they could devise everyone into tiers based on MCAT and GPA and randomly select from each tier, starting with the top tier. So the people with the highest stats get chosen first, but randomly. Anyways, I'm just speculating aha

That's literally what I was thinking. Additionally, I think they categorize all the reapplicants into a separate pool which they also "Randomly Review." lol

no, it states interview when you get one and the date. post-interview, it tells you your status (accept, waitlist, etc.)

Does anybody know if Buffalo does open, blind, or partially blind interviews? I may have overlooked something, but I couldn't find it in the handout information they provided.

Same here, I was banking on this school. But I've heard this school doesn't do rolling admissions, so someone who submitted in September can get reviewed before us.
