Interviewing soon. I have two questions if anyone can please answer.
1. I was born and raised in NY and lived there my entire life. Moved out of state less than a year ago. I still have my NY driver's license. Would I still qualify for in-state tuition?
2. Can people who interviewed share how their interview went?
Thank you

1. When I interviewed the financial aid person gave the example that if your permanent address was somewhere in NY but you went to school out of state and you signed a lease at a house/apartment off campus and lived there for 1 year you will be considered out of state and have to pay out of state tuition for the first year.
2. The interview day at UB is very relaxing! The only time I got nervous was the first time my name was called but other than that I felt calm throughout the entire day. My first interview was with a professor and was more of a formal interview asking me questions about my application and one ethical question but was still very easy and straightforward! My second interview was with a M2 and it was like talking to a friend and didn’t even feel like an interview! They just want to get to know you beyond what they can read on paper and are not trying to intimidate you or trip you up at all. Also they give you a writing prompt prior to your interviews and give you 10 minutes to answer it but I was never asked about it in my interviews so I think it may come into play when they re-review your app? But I really don’t know lol

The interview is very relaxed, they really just want to get to know you as a person.

Did you write a letter of interest/intent or anything? I was WL last Friday and I'm frantically trying to make sense of what (if anything) I can do to possibly change my chance of getting in off the WL. Huge congrats on your A though 🙂!!!
Congrats on the A!!! Did you send them anything between your interview, being waitlisted and then your acceptance off the WL? I got a WL and I'm trying to make sense of how to move forward

interviewed 1/08... thought i killed the interview. Got waitlisted 1/30. To my surprise, i got accepted this past Friday!
However, when i go to pay for $100 fee, it says there is an error. Did anybody else experience this?

Yes, I sent an update/LOI after the waitlist decision.
First of all, CONGRATS!
I haven't gotten the email with the student number yet, so I haven't tried to pay the deposit. When did you get the email with the student number?

i want/ to unsubscribe but will that affect my chanceSame besides the tease emails on why Buffalo is a great medical school
No it will not affect your chance!i want/ to unsubscribe but will that affect my chance
Also best way to hear back from schools who ghost you is to send them a withdrawal email lol. I had 3 schools who have ghosted me since July, so I sent an email stating I had an acceptance and wanted to withdraw my app from further consideration at their school.............. I heard back from all of them within a few hours hehehe
I was just joking🤣
Withdrew my interview for March 11, hope it goes to one of you!

Anyone else still silence?
Meee! I had asked if they were receptive to update letters and the lady on the phone said yes but she seemed like she couldn’t care less.
Complete silence too. However I know someone who just got a late interview but at this point I feel like not many (if anymore) interviews will be given out since their date was the 2nd week of April. I am guessing that is the end of their cycle but I’m not sure.
Can I ask what time do the interviews usually end? The email said 5 but I wonder if that is always the case.
Thanks!

Is there any sort of accepted students page yet?
Just depends when you get called for your interview. I was called early for both of mine so I left around 3:15. It could go to 5 though if you are one of the later interviews.

To my fellow peeps who have been accepted, is the signed form that you filled out from Admissions binding? In the sense that signing that form means you are committing to matriculating there in August?
No it’s not. Nothing is binding until you CTE I believe

I don’t think they will interview anymore as the state is under emergency now even if they still have interview spots left no school wants to risk at this point so RIP
Lmao random review really ****ed us
I was worried about this too. I hope it's not the case... some other schools have switched to virtual interviews
pls rosso gib me virtual ii
I'm supposed to interview next week and received an email today that all further in-person interviews are cancelled but they are working on getting a skype interview system up and running
Does anyone know where we're sending back the filled acceptance package forms? Is it all going to back to Mr. Rosso after we fill them? I don't see anything about who to send them to. Thanks in advance!
I asked and we send them to the medical school admissions office
Thank you!
Do we need to send physical copies or can we just fax them?
Not totally sure. I planned on doing physical copies

Are they still offering interviews?
Do you think COVID will have any impact on the waitlist movement? For example, ADCOMs not meting and so forth

I think it may make the process a little slower, but I’m sure they’re still meeting in some capacity, either in person or virtually.

I completely forgot I applied here back in September. I have not received a single update/email since then! It definitely feels like they just took my money and ran with it, haha.
Does anyone know how to withdraw? No button in the portal and the only confirmation email I received from them is from a do not reply address.

Has anyone received a financial aid offer yet?

First time applicant, interviewed March 11. Was told by one of my interviewers (the former dean of admissions) I would hear back by that Friday (March 13). COVID-19 significantly ramped up the next day or two so I understand there is some delay, but in general how long did it take to receive your outcomes?
I’m in the same boat.
Saaaame. I think they’re done giving out IIs tho when I called the lady said IIs offered until mid March for interviews until mid April
