Damn. Interviewed 10/1 and still nothing. I guess they taking their smooth time to craft these rejection letters

post interview though? Albany post interview to acceptance rate is rather high (65-70% iirc). I wouldn't be so pessimistic about your chances if you have interviewed there.

Who told you it was 65-70? I've never heard of a number that high

 

[rguy16]

Last year it was less than 40%

Rush Medical College had 70% post interview rate to acceptance last year and University of Illinois had 86% post interview to acceptance rate (won't be that high this year) last year

That seems low for the post-interview acceptance rate, especially for a lower-tier school. Are you sure that’s not the post-interview matriculation rate?

Last year they interviewed around 800 students for 100 spots (40 for the 140 class size come from linkage programs at local universities). 250-300 acceptances out of 800 IIRC

Anyone who interviewed mid to late October hear back yet? I interviewed towards the end of Oct and was told we would hear back at the end of November. Thank you.

I interviewed first week of October and haven’t heard anything. I know people have heard around that time so I’m not really sure what it means

 

[Crusher of Souls]

II! I've been on hold since September.

Honestly it means they haven’t decided.

Same boat as you. I did not hear anything

Rejected post interview. Good to luck to all.

Sorry to hear that would you mind sharing when you interviewed?

 

[Striatum14]

Waitlisted. Does anyone know the acceptance rate of the waitlist approximately?

 

[KaioKaizen]

Just got waitlisted post-interview!

 

[lovemygomers]

Got the under consideration email as well. Interviewed 10/12

 

[futuredoc1020]

Interviewed 10/1 and still nothing....

Late August.

No news is good news!

LOL. Complete in July. Radio silence. Assuming Albany does silent rejections?

Lmfao your pfp
Amazing

Not sure about exact numbers, but most of the class seems to be pulled off the under consideration list.

Thanks, good to know. Do you know how receptive Albany is to letters of intent after UC status? I know they don't accept updates though.

Hey! So letters of intent in general mean nothing to admissions staff. The only time they are intrigued by them is if you are accepted into another school and would prefer Albany. Albany also doesn’t allow updates except for grades so send grade reports if you have them to submit during winter break.

Same man, would love to interview here

Ok, got it. Also, do you know if we can get pulled off the UC list at any time or does movement only occur in the spring/summer as the email seems to indicate.

Hey! You can be pulled off any time. I was put on before Tgiving and accepted in February.

Got it thanks!

 

[deleted889094]

To those of you who were recently "waitlisted" remember it's actually much better than being waitlisted. Your chances are still fairly good for acceptance. I like to look at it as "at LEAST I'll be on the waitlist, but I could be accepted any day"

Wow.....July. I have been getting antsy being complete since late October yet only hearing crickets. Guess I'll quit holding my breath LOL.

LOL. Like... what’s up Albany? I’m here!! Hello!?! Should I send cookies to the admissions office?

 

[Dr. Let 'er Buck]

Should I send cookies to the admissions office?

Or a case of scotch. Whatever works.......

 

[yakarma11]

Interviewed 10/1 and still nothing....

I think i might call them, because I remember they told us we would hear back end of October. But maybe i should be patient

Hey guys, I just submitted my secondary but didn’t receive a complete email. Did anyone else have this issue?

 

[Zathric]

Hey guys, I just submitted my secondary but didn’t receive a complete email. Did anyone else have this issue?

Well, I think it took me a couple days to get a confirmation, but also know that it's almost December...

Make sure it is actually submitted on the portal because I made that mistake.

I didn't receive a confirmation email when I submitted & pressed the complete button.

accepted today at 1:30 PM! i interviewed 10/25 and thought it went well

 

[HT2341]

+1 to acceptances this afternoon! Interviewed late October. Highlight for me was how deeply integrated the school is to a medical center with such a large catchment area and, subsequently, some serious pathology that rolls through their doors

 

[yakarma11]

So I interviewed 10/1 and still have heard no news. Does this mean I was waitlisted/rejected. Called office and they do not pickup
