Sure. I was not on the UC list. I interviewed March 3rd and was sent the email from Certiphi yesterday.

I interviewed on 3/10 and received the background check email 3/31. I check the AAMC choose your med school tool 4/1 and it listed AMC under schools that I was accepted to.
Looks like everyone else who interviewed early March probably got UC/R...
Perfect start to this weekend

So if we see Albany on our CMS page should we be expecting a phone call or something today....?

I’d check all your spam filters to see if you were already emailed, then a call or email is appropriate.
I’m pretty disappointed with the way AMC handled decisions this wave. Not at all how I was expecting nor wanting to hear about my decision.

My guess would be ~200, about ~100 A’s left to give for UC and later waitlisted folks. Total guess based off 166 people in the class of 2025 FB page and that would make sense based on the point in the cycle, who knows though lol

Nah fam we got this.
Do we know approx how many people usually get UC/WL vs R? Also, will there be more movement this cycle b/c of virtual interviews ?

I straight up haven't seen a single post Interview R yet so I think it's either gonna be a bloodbath come WL season, or we all just gonna be in waitlist purgatory 😗
So when does UC movement start up?
+1 would LOVE to know this as well
UC today--
Can someone explain how exactly UC works? I guess I just don't really understand why they have a ranked UC list if they're going to accept some and waitlist everyone else anyway. Like if not all acceptances have been given out yet, why form a UC list? Why not just have accepted those at the top? Has anyone in this thread actually been accepted from UC at this point?

There could be a massive UC acceptance wave coming in soon, where they lower the threshold?
I hope we make the cut. I think this whole UC system is a bit strange but with AMC clutching my future in their hands I'm in no position to criticize.

There have been some UC acceptances earlier in the thread, but it has been pretty quiet recently. There may have been people accepted off the UC list that have not posted on SDN. Historically, quite a few accepted students were initially UC at AMC. So UC definitely does not necessarily = WL... but it doesn't necessarily indicate you will likely get the A either lol.
Do they send out a lot of Post II R's here or is it mainly just A's and UC's? So out of the 800 interviews, ~200 get the A right away and the rest are UC?
So am I understanding it correctly that as they try to hit their full number of A's, they trickle people off the UC list until interview season is over? And once interviews are concluded, the top part of that list gets turned into a WL?

Congrats!!
Pretty much. It isn't clear at this point whether they will WL pretty much everyone or do a mix of R/WL. For now, we're in purgatory, welcome aboard 😀. Hopefully 4/30 will bring some good news

Are they still sending out II lol?
As someone who is sitting in the exact same boat, I'm gonna guess that they're not. Just about all MD schools seem to be wrapping things up 🙁

I wish they didn't wait this long just to send the pre-II R. I was complete so early in the cycle.
Agreed. I was complete fairly early, but am among those who forgot to hit "finalize," then realized it several months later. There were some colorful words...lol

Is April 30th the day everyone has to narrow down to 1 A, and when expected UC movement will occur?

I saw on last year’s thread that May 1 was when UC applicants started receiving notice that they were transitioned to WL. So I’m assuming the UC->A movement should hopefully occur prior to that.
edit: looked at 2018-2019 thread and people were getting pulled from UC at the end of April (4/24 specifically). Waitlist was formed on 4/29

To the admissions staff at Albany, can you stop sending me rejection emails? I received my 3rd rejection email today...
Same. Prepping to go to the Caribbean just in case...
