Albany is one of the most expensive medical schools from my research
We are definitely expensive as most private medical colleges are, but no longer near the top 10 or 20 most expensive schools. https://www.usnews.com/education/be...ticles/most-expensive-private-medical-schools

The 20 Most Expensive Medical Schools in the World
Medical school is expensive. According to Shemmassian Consulting, it costs an arm and a leg. The average cost to attend a public in-state medical school

affordable compared to OOS tuition for U of Illinois (Chicago) which is 99,000 a year 😵😳
imagine the feeling of opening up an email from Albany and seeing "Congratulations" on the subject line...
So people on the UC list are expecting to hear back tomorrow?

Especially since tomorrow is a holiday! (Patriots day/ marathon Monday) I’m not sure if any schools are taking the day off but they could be

Still have not received anything. Not sure if I should be expecting an interview once people withdraw their acceptance or just assume it is a rejection.
I think just assume it's an R at this point if you havent gotten an II. Once people withdraw their A, they'll have plenty of people on the UC list to pick from.
theyre saving us for if all the people on the UC drop out
"Congratulations we saw you recently applied to our MD program but we think you'd be a great fit for our masters in public health instead!"
I havent heard anything yet. Was put on UC on 4/5
Plz help
EDIT: Do we know if UC movement is even happening? Is there a chance that all UC individuals are going to be put on waitlist, and that we are waiting for no reason? @TurtleyReady4Med

Seems like people are withdrawing their acceptances
Right, but now it depends on the quantity of people withdrawing their acceptances and whether or not AMC has correctly accounted for the acceptances being withdrawn?

You can bet your a$$ they’ll correctly fill the missing seats. They want that tuition money.
The chance of getting off the UC list at this point I think is <20%, so pretty slim. According to the MSAR, last cycle they interviewed 793 and matriculated 139, which should stay about the same this year. Usually 300-350 A's are given out.
Although I tend to agree with your number of <20%, how did you extrapolate that?
~200 accepted so far (est from FB), 700 interviewed, leaves 500 undecided/under consideration. 300 generally accepted, 100 estimated spots left. 100/500= 20%
edit: I actually contend that the chances are higher than 20% since this estimate doesn’t account for withdrawals from both the applicants accepted already AND the applicants who will withdraw/be rejected from UC.
^ Yeah, that's what I did except I used 800 for the number of total interviewed ( based off of last years 793 Interviews and I think that's what they told us on Interview day too)
Hey give me a 25% chance to get off of UC, and a 15-20% chance to get off the waitlist and I'll live with those odds lol.
I'm sure there have been. They said so during the interview days. Also, ppl are less likely to post II Rs
IIRC they reject 20-30% of applicants POST II
Interviewed late March. Received the Certiphi email this morning and AMC is now listed on my CYMS tool. My first A!! Can’t wait for the formal email 🙂

Does anyone know what will happen if we do not narrow our choices down to 1 school, once it is April 30th?
If I recall correctly, schools will see this and have the right to rescind their admission offers.

Oh man. There is a school that hasn't provided me with any financial aid info and won't until June. I'd like to see how much they are giving before narrowing down my option to just 1 school. But this April 30th deadline wouldn't allow me to do this.
I would probably take this up with the schools in anticipation of this and confirm with them that this is the reason you haven’t decided yet. I’m sure they can be accommodating given the circumstances.

My ex-roommate had this situation and the schools did not care. They said that’s the rule across the board no exceptions, she ultimately picked her first choice turned out financial aid was about the same
That’s a damn shame 🙁

How'd your ex-roommate end up knowing about the financial aid if they withdrew their acceptance?
