Congrats!! Are you able to share what you think helped? NY resident? URM? Rural? Ecstatics? Thanks! Way to go!!
I am an Oregon resident, research and clinical heavy, ORM, but truly just connected with Albany faculty and students on my interview day. I walked away from the conversations overjoyed and truly at peace with all of my answers. You can message me for more specifics about my app :)

I checked last years thread and a decent amount of movement happened Feb 21st which lines up with either Feb 19th or 26th this year.

I was already rejected by this school a month ago. They just sent me another rejection email, with more pointed language.

What the actual heck?

Can someone offer some advice, please? any insights on their tuitions and living expenses? I am from Florida. Also I would appreciate any recommendations if you had to choose to attend one. Is this MD vs DO "inequality I hear of" something I should really consider? I am originally from Cuba; we just have doctors. I will likely go into primary care or emergency. any advice is welcome. thank you.
 
Accepted, Interviewed 1/15

That’s weird that you were even placed on hold. Whereas other people who interviewed with you got straight up A. Good luck to everyone waiting on UC movement - it’s bound to happen in the next few weeks.

I was complete back in August and still have received absolutely nothing in the way of communication from Albany. Is it worth sending an email of some kind to inquire about the status of their review process? (I've checked and re-checked the portal, I didn't forget to hit Finalize!!)

Have any other accepted students received their financial aid awards? I was notified that I'd receive it by 2/15, so still another day left but am curious if anyone else has heard anything.

Is there any idea how full their class is? Has anyone spoke to admissions post UC ? My understanding is they do not take updates, but this kills me as someone who interviewed in September. I feel like I'll be lost in the sauce lol
