Wow thank you! I wonder if most schools are open tomorrow morning.

I just got a II two days ago!!!! I'm super excited. They gave me a couple options in January and February and I'm most likely going to be going jan 15. Is anyone else going to be there that day too that would like to meet up?

 

[ew_david]

anyone know the post II acceptance rate here?

 

[Pod God]

anyone know the post II acceptance rate here?

Approximately 40%. I think last year was 800 interviews and 320 acceptances for 140 spots.

This gives me a little hope. i got UC after interviewing.

There’s actually only ~100 spots. 40 spots are for direct linkages and BS/MD people.

This is true. Nearby Union/RPI/Siena each have 13 or so spots for their Leadership in Medicine programs every year, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that each school has filled all of them. So each class has “up to 40 reserved seats for LIM students.”

Withdrawing II - one of y'all better get it and turn it into an A! Best of luck guys 🙂

Based on past years threads seems January 23rd is when there starts to be a lot more UC movement. I'm UC too so hoping for the best!

Question - I'm still under consideration here, but I noticed Albany has a FAFSA priority deadline for January 15. For a few reasons, I'm not yet ready to submit my FAFSA application and was wondering if it would be a problem to submit after this January 15 "priority" deadline.

I would still submit my fafsa so that they have it on file. i submitted mine back in october even though im UC.

+1. I submitted my FAFSA to every school I interviewed at back in October as well.

even if you don't get in, there's still no harm in doing this beforehand.

 

[SeaHusky]

Yeah that part makes sense to me. In fact, I was trying to get this done months ago but my main issue is my parents. I’m having a hard time convincing them to supply their information on FAFSA for the schools that are requiring it. Albany doesn’t require it (please someone correct me if I’m wrong, that’s what their financial aid office told me anyway) so I’m a little stuck meeting the Jan 15 deadline at the moment. My question is more so is that Jan 15 a hard set deadline? If I can’t get my FAFSA submitted until the end of the month, for example, am I at a disadvantage?

I would fill out parental information, regardless if Albany wants it or not. All of the schools I've interviewed at other than Albany wanted my parental info.

Concerning the deadline, I would just call and ask. No harm in doing that whatsoever.

 

[penguin2996]

Got an II yesterday - I was complete 8/4. Very surprised but there's still hope for those that are still waiting!

 

[banterboy]

Exactly. I’m putting my parental info in regardless. It’s just a matter of getting that information before Jan 15. I’ll ask financial aid tomorrow and report back in case anyone is dealing with the same issue.

Yes please let us know

This friday 1/10

 

[ew_david]

i got my II for later this month back in november but now i see a few people who get theirs within a week's notice. will having a later interview affect my chances negatively?

 

[Biochemfanatic]

Anyone here knows Albany's average step 1 score, match percentage, and length of step 1 dedicated study time? I spoke with student affairs but they couldn't give me clear information.

 

[TurtleyReady4Med]

This is our match list from this past year. Only 1-2ish students don't match a year and that is usually after being advised against too few applications/ a specialty out of their step range. Our step scores are the national average. Our dedicated is around 5-6 weeks.
