First found out via call, got an email afterwards. When I asked about my spot on the list, they told me I was in a good spot and they got to my position in past years. I hope that helps.
 
Does anyone know if we would need a car for the first two years?

I would say most of the class has a car, but it's not necessary I know a bunch of poeple without them. It depends on where you want to live also. At Geneva your classmates are all there so there are plenty of people to catch a ride with, and several apartment complexes also have shuttles (Copper Beech, Theory, 505). If you live anywhere else you may want a car.

I will echo what @justkeepswimming1050 said. Certainly not required if you live near campus as most of your classmates will have one. You can get away with it for the majority of 3rd/4th year too, but it would just be much easier (and less stressful) to buy one by then.
 
Did any of you who are planning to live in Geneva apply for the 6k a year scholarship? If you did, do you know about when we are supposed to hear back?

No idea when we will hear back... Also if there is just one or many of them? It would definitely influence my decision where to live..
 
I recently submitted my deposit. Any idea where I should start looking for off campus housing options? is Geneva Towers the only on campus housing?

Yes, Geneva is the only "on campus" camping. There are two nearby apartment buildings where a lot of med students live (Madison and Jefferson)
 
Hey guys, I don't know if this is an appropriate place to ask, but I had a question regarding the housing. I applied for housing in Geneva Tower, and there is a lease that needs to be signed within two weeks. However, I'm still on a waitlist at a school that's closer to home. If I were to sign the lease for Geneva Tower, does that commit me to Upstate (hence, removing me from any waitlists)? Also, if I did sign the lease and was taken off the waitlist later, would I be able to cancel my contract for the lease? Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated!

I would check the language in the lease/ email [email protected]. They have been helpful for me. It probably works like most other leases where you have to pay a penalty to break it... but other than the money I don't think it commits you to Upstate. If you aren't sure about where you will go, I would just withdraw the housing application and submit it again later when you are sure you will attend ( you can submit it as late as September).
 
Has anyone who was accepted off the HPA list gotten their financial aid package yet? I got my housing lease pretty quickly after applying for it, but I've heard nothing from financial aid.

When I was accepted it took a week or so for financial aid to come through, but I think they fast-tracked it because I was accepted so late. I would touch base with the financial aid office if you don't hear back by the end of next week.

Accepted this morning! Anyone else have a problem trying to view their acceptance letter on the portal? I'm getting a popup saying this page isn't working.

Withdrew yesterday so looks like you got the spot, congrats!
 
Is anyone having trouble viewing their outstanding tasks on the MyUpstate portal? Since this morning, I can only view my financial aid, but I can't view or complete any of the tasks I had before.
 
was anyone able to get their deposit back after withdrawing? or is this something you have to specifically ask for?
 
Does anyone know if there is a Plan to Enroll deadline? Or just one in July for Commit to Enroll?
 
A few folks asked so just To be clear the email about position on HPA said that I was in a position they had gotten to in previous years
 
Also just got the call for the A!
When I asked about my spot on the list about a month ago they told me some years they get to it and other years they didn't
 
Are we supposed to get a welcome/accepted packet in the mail? I was accepted 05/12 and haven't received anything in the mail yet. Is that where you find out what books etc you have to get?
 
Also was accepted today for Syracuse, HPA on 10/15. I was told I was in a "good spot" and they likely wouldn't know more until June.

Not sure what to think about this because they told me they’ve reached my spot in previous years

Congrats to all you getting off the HPA list! Were all you guys Syracuse preferred or Syracuse only? I got off the list 2 weeks ago and got Binghamton even though I was Syracuse preferred. I'm totally fine with going to Binghamton for 3rd year, but I'm just confused as to why they didn't assign me to Syracuse if there were spots left.

Could possibly be that they called you when a Bing spot opened up and you were next on the list. Seems like they pull people off one at at time as students withdraw. I'm Bing so I guess I'll see you there 😀

Anybody bought any of the required materials for POM1? Any advice about where to get them?

Really what you need is a stethoscope, a penlight, and mayyybe a reflex hammer and Snellen chart. There were a couple times where we needed a blood pressure cuff, but it was primarily for the clinical experiences and you can always borrow from someone else. Everything else is in the room when you need them!

Hey, did you ask admissions about your chances of coming off the waitlist? If so, would you mind telling what they told you?
 
Hey, does anyone know which course to take to get the online BLS certification?
