[imbesrs]

did you get the notification today?

It was last night when Enterococcus also posted.

 

[Internationalphysician]

Was put on hold. OOS. complete email July 17th

 

[hd93000]

Hold 🙁

 

[Minicoat]

I got put on hold too

 

[booshk]

on hold. sadness.

 

[ThymineDimer]

Also on hold, I just have a question about the portal, does it say on hold there as well because it does not say that for me. Hopefully we all get off hold, at least it's not a rejection!! I'm going to try to be optimistic based on previous year threads.

Nope. nothing on the portal

Completed 8/2 and still silence

Just did interview today. Apparently was the very first interview day. Went exceeding well for me. Everyone else also said similar things though, so this is gonna be down to the wire. Great tour, great interviews, great admissions staff, great students. Upstate truly impressed me today.

I know someone might ask, so I'll just state outright that I am not comfortable discussing anything about the format of the interviews or any topics that were brought up 😛

Can I ask how you prepped for it?

 

[Kingbika]

3.5GPA / 3.2sGPA / 521 MCAT/ NYC resident. Maybe my GPA is 3.6 not 3.5, I forget honestly.

I prepped by reviewing my app, my research, researching some school specifics, and, most importantly, relaxing.

 

[Kingbika]

3.54 total GPA*

Oh, gotcha! So no specific MMI prepping? That's what I'm mostly nervous for. My first interview of the cycle is here and I'm not sure what to expect

 

[Kingbika]

I mean, prep the way you'd prep for any interview. It's all fair game. An MMI at its core is a traditional interview, with some twists, but broken up into 9 parts.

 

[BCB153]

Portal cleared, pretty sure that means a decision was made. This will be such a long wait!

 

[dreamitmakeithappen]

put on hold r i p

 

[mynameisno]

put on hold r i p

Hopefully you hear back later with some good news. When were you complete?

 

[toemento16]

Need to reschedule my interview, can anyone see what dates are still open? Would really appreciate it. Open to swapping if anyone wants to drop at the same time, mine is sept 16.

Yeah, DM me

 

[Internationalphysician]

Is anyone else having trouble accessing their portal? When I try to log-in it says: A break-in attempt has been detected. what does that even mean

[Kingbika]

My portal appears to have been "cleared" as well. I interviewed last week, and they said decisions would be in this week. They just can't tell us until October 15 lol...

What time did the day finish up? I’m interviewing Oct. 2nd and trying to see what time to schedule my return flight

Ended pretty much right at 3pm!

 

[Kingbika]

Anybody know why the AAMC has a rule about October 15?

I think it is because of ED applicants. Once they are done

did they ask about your app / research ? I thought they don't do that in mmi ?

 

[positivepuffin]

Any peeps in Syracuse for tomorrow's interview wanna meetup and hangout?

 

[Kingbika]

That's false. Lots of schools with MMI format have a station or more reserved for open-file questions.

 

[Monophasic]

To everyone put on pre-II hold, you can still interview and be accepted after the hold.

Source: was put on pre-II hold and just submitted ERAS app.

 

[sundayko]

Got an email last night around 1 AM eastern. Placed on hold for MD/PhD.

 

[kingdomheart]

Are they just gonna hold everyone

 

[deleted834048]

Received a hold today around midnight, 12:01AM. (Is it sent automatically? Hard to believe anyone’s working at this time)
I am IS, feeling betrayed by my state haha.

[BillyOsler]

Anyone know when the interview day ends if you start at 10:45AM ?

 

[HopeIsStrength]

Yeah! It ends at 3 literally on the dot riggt after your MMI which is a blast btw

You'll know because it looks entirely different

Question. My CASPer scores were recently delivered (says the CASPer website and some other schools I applied to) but my UPSTATE portal does not say they have received my CASPer score. Is there just a processing period before my portal will be updated (scores been delivered for ~1 week now)? A little neurotic of a question, but I just wanted to ensure this was normal b/c my application has been delayed so many times. Let me know!

I believe they update the portal on Wednesdays or Thursdays. I had a similar issue with my LoR showing as not received, while portals for other programs had shown them as received a week prior. After giving the office a call (I think it was on a Monday) I was told to check later in the week, and it had updated. You should be fine, but you can always give them a call!
