Posting for my friend to say that he found his acceptance in his spam box from last week. Interviewed 11/20. Super non-trad, 3.7/519.

Any accepted students been able to get onto the My Upstate portal using the ID# we were given? Mine doesn’t work and I’ve only been able to get onto the original portal we submitted secondaries on.
 
for other accepted students, it says on the second look day RSVP that you can bring up to 2 guests. are most people bringing their parents or attending alone?

I’ll probably bring my parents! Won’t let them act like its undergrad “accepted students day” though

Does anyone know if they’re just interviewing for the waitlist at this point? I have an interview scheduled but don’t want to take off work and pay to go if there’s limited seats/ they’re just going to place me on waitlist

I got a soft pre-II rejection, I guess. They invited me to do the special admission's then I get a spot on the MD program for next year. Not sure if this is is a waste of my time or something positive. What do you guys think?

I got a similar one a few weeks ago. But mine said I would only get an interview after the program
 
Oh, so it’s really like doing a 1 year masters and another gap year while applying :/

Some other universities have a similar program like this, and they don't make you wait a full gap year. It is conditional....if you do well in the master's program then you get accepted into the following year's class. FSU and LECOM do this. So if you do the masters in 2020, you get admitted into the MD in 2021.

EDIT: I might be wrong about SUNY's program, because I am talking about two other schools. So any corrections are welcomed.

Can you tell me more about the special pathway?

In addition to the tech program they have 2 other pathways. All 3 programs have conditional acceptance to SUNY upstate upon completion. I didn’t inquire about the length of each program but I’m assuming they’re all one year
1) masters in public health
2) AMSNY buffalo postbac program. This is more to strengthen an application with MCAT prep available as well

From what I was told, the MPH pathway is two years at this time. They are working on making it 1 year as well. That is their goal before the 2020 year begins classes.

I am having trouble finding more info online about the MPH with a conditional acceptance, do you have a link? Thank you!

How long does the interview last? Trying to figure out travel details.

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this! Interview session started at 10:45 am and they said we would get out at 3:00 pm. We ended up getting out exactly at 3:00, so I think their time frame is pretty accurate.
