Accepted earlier this week. I still don't believe it. LM 72, interviewed in October.
I really, really enjoyed the city + campus.

+1 Accepted this morning as well and interviewed the same date!
Also, I never sent an update or post-interview thank you email! This was a debated subject so you can get accepted just weeks after your interview without sending one!

+1. I was gonna call but then I got an email like a day after I noticed the letter was gone that all my stuff was received.
Congrats! That's amazing. Did you send an update or was it out of the blue?
They said anyone on hold won't be re-reviewed until December, but I was on hold and got an II on 10/24 without an update letter

In light of recent news at SyracuseU regarding the string of attacks against minorities, can any current students (or anyone really) comment on how close/ connected the medical school is to the undergrad campus?
SU is not associated with Upstate. Upstate is a SUNY school, and SU is a private school. The campuses were kinda close to each other though. The situation is unfortunate, but I wouldn’t expect medical students to be that immature
SU is basically across the street from the med school building, but honestly you'll never go there and really you'll never interact with any SU students.
Can I ask what you stated in your update email? I have been continuing the same community and hospital volunteer positions and have been in the same research group that I stated in my application. I'm pretty much continuing everything I said I would be and doing it well. I got the hold letter but I did apply late (Sep 30th).
When do accepted students usually start hearing from financial aid?

Hey y’all! For anyone who has already interviewed, how long did they say it would take to hear back? Interviewed 11/18.
I also interviewed on 11/18. I think they said we should hear back by the end of the second week in December
Also interviewed then... my interview portal has been cleared (i.e. where you submit updates). They must be getting ready to release decisions!

Interviewed 11/20 and they were saying 2-3 weeks for us, not sure if they were including thanksgiving or assuming we shouldn’t count that week.
Anyone know if there is a second look day?
II just now!! Complete 8/16

If you don’t mind me asking, stats? Congrats!
Thanks! Non trad, LizzyM 67 (with postbac)
They typically have a second look day in the spring (~April IIRC)

So it seems they conducted all of the MD/PhD interviews between Dec 8-9 and 10-11. At least at the interview it seemed like that was all. I'm not totally sure though. I was originally put on hold late September, but was given an interview invite in October.
I just checked my portal before going to work and saw an acceptance letter! Interviewed 11/18
Thanks for posting this! I also checked my portal and found an acceptance letter! Interviewed 11/13
For me, it was on the home page of the portal.
Checked this early morning around 9AM EST! I had it on the home page of the portal! It said something like "Congratulations" and an acceptance letter was there. So thrilled as this is my first acceptance and my #2 favorite school! No email received - only saw it on the portal.
Interviewed 11/13. Accepted today - 12/11.
Please everyone make sure you check your portal. Shout out to drbilirubin for letting us know!

Does anyone know if being placed on HOLD pre interview is a silent R or if there is still hope? Asking for a friend, xo
based on last years thread, some did get an II after being placed on hold
Did most people send an update through the portal or email? Also does anyone know if they are receptive to additional LORs?

Their deadline for additional LOR was 12/1.

Accepted yesterday 12/11. Interviewed on 11/11. The acceptance email went to my SPAM folder and I didn't see it until this morning. Make sure yall are checking that too!
Hmmm wasn’t planning on it, I just assumed they received it once I uploaded it on the portal but I guess you could always do both to be in the safe side.
