Accepted today! Interviewed 10/9.

Congrats! Did you hear through email?

 

[robertsdude]

Congrats! Did you hear through email?

Yup! Subject line was still super ominous as “Albany Medical College Status Update”.

 

[miaminative]

Congrats! Was it through email?

Yes

 

[Striatum14]

Interviewed 10/9 and have not heard back yet. Does that mean I am waitlisted (or rejected) if someone from 10/9 already got accepted ?

Likely it means you aren’t clearly inside the margins of reject/undecided/ or accepted and so they haven’t given a decision yet.

ACCEPTED TODAY! Interviewed end of September & My first acceptance of the cycle AHhHhHhHH!!!

Yeah probably...ah well, this process is so unpredictable, just gotta wait and see what happens.

During the interview, can we take notes during the 2 minutes for reading the prompt?

Same

No but you honestly don’t need to

 

[souravdada]

Congratulations to all who are accepted! Can you guys post your stats? Interviewing soon, can you describe the interview day as well?

Has anyone who interviewed 9/27 heard back?

 

[Pohanana]

All the posts I've seen have said they started their interview day at 8am, but mine says check-in at 11am and the interview starts at 11:30am.
Can anyone confirm that they had an interview day that started later than 8?

They do occur. You are in an “afternoon” interview.

Is there a "Why Albany Medical College?" MMI station?

Nobody can disclose MMI info

 

[BCtoMD]

I just withdrew my interview scheduled for Monday 11/19- hopefully it will go to one of you!

Okay, odd question here. I tried to upload a pic, but that isn't going to work I guess.

With my secondary application (which has been stuck in limbo for weeks) it says

"pending Certified supplemental application receive"

It appears this is preventing me from submitting the secondary? Maybe?? I have already paid the fee and all other sections are marked YES, so by all accounts it should be good. I've attempted to call AMC numerous times, but nobody ever answers the phone.

So, any thoughts folks? Truthfully, if I could get my secondary fee back I'd probably forget the whole thing.

You’ve already pressed the “complete” button at the bottom of the page?

 

[Dr. Let 'er Buck]

You’ve already pressed the “complete” button at the bottom of the page?

Nope. It is greyed out and not clickable.

Okie you should call the admissions office and see what’s up. Others waiting from 10/1 my interview was around then last year and I heard right before Tgiving, though no promises cuz some people from that interview date heard after Tgiving.

Email sent and phones called. We'll see if anyone answers/responds.

 

[futuredoc1020]

Do they reject via mail?

 

[watermelon master]

Do they reject via mail?

Everything is by email

 

[PreMedLed]

Is Albany receptive to in the area requests? Will be in NYC and wondering if they can review my file so I do not have to travel back again. Thanks guys

 

[PreMedLed]

Does anyone know the January breakdown for interviews?

Looks like they are running 1/8 to 3/29 for the spring. Unsure if anyone has claimed dates yet/ how far out.

Doesn’t hurt but do it ASAP

Has anyone heard any post-interview news lately? Been about 6 weeks since my interview

there will probably be a big wave next week before thanksgiving. From what I've seen the big decision days are also the same days as interviews. We have one monday interview next week. could be then.

 

[Pohanana]

Do the afternoon interviews include lunch?

 

[miaminative]

Do the afternoon interviews include lunch?

Yes!

 

[Pohanana]

Yes!

Thanks! Is it pretty substantial?

 

[Hass_Love_Fitness]

Thanks! Is it pretty substantial?

When I interviewed it was cold cut sandwiches, water, fruit, and cookies; there were a lot of leftovers because most people had had breakfast before coming in. For my afternoon session the day ended pretty early around 3:15.

 

[deleted889094]

Thanks! Is it pretty substantial?

Yeah it's definitely enough

 

[TurtleyReady4Med]

Thanks! Is it pretty substantial?

Sandwich options, chips, water, and cookies. Always leftovers available

 

[deleted889094]

Can someone tell me when the morning (8am) interview session typically ends or when it ended for you? It says plan for 5-6 hours on the site, but wanted to see if it was closer to 1pm or 2pm. The best flight back home I was able to get was at ~315 pm. Hoping to get an Uber/Lyft to the airport (~20 min) and get through the security check in time to make that flight.

Thanks in advance!

If you make sure you're in the group that interviews first, you could leave the tour early if needed
