If any current UB Jacobs SOM students are lurking...I'd love to know more about the community outreach opportunities through the school. Ones such as the Buffalo MATTERS Network, Heart Smart, etc. Sorry if this is super ignorant, but medical students can get involved in these opportunities, yes? And if so is it something prevalent at the school?
 
Verified 6/18

Received secondary 7/1 7:45am EST
 
Submitted/OOS - we'll see how this goes!
 
Submitted; email confirmation of payment but not of completion.
Can't access the check my status page either. Anyone else having this issue?

Edit: received complete email this morning!

In writing my secondary, i feel like i find myself talking a lot about the Cancer Center- is this good, or should it focus mostly on just the med school education offerings?
if the cancer center is what draws you to UB then write that! if there's something about the education that interests you you should include that as well. be genuine, that's what they like!

Definitely email them and let them know you have a conflict but would love to interview with them and ask if they have alternative dates. Maybe you can provide alternative dates around their interview dates? I had friends last year who emailed in this case
 
Anyone here an undergrad student from UB?
 
When you all submitted did you get a confirmation email or complete email?
 
IS, LM 75, Complete 7/11, no II, somebody help

In the complete email they did say "It is a random review process." in that all bold email. (also IS/high-stat without interview, but whatever)
 
If anyone has an interview date of 9/4 please PM me so we can be friends!
 
You’d be surprised!! I met at least one at each interview I had last year.

You must’ve had better interview groups than mine! Most of the people I met would've thrown me in a volcano for a leg up. Or something equally as painful as a volcano.... maybe a crocodile pit.

Is it not ironic how the the most cut throat students who get perfect scores end up in the schools that have collaborative learning
