To anyone who hasn’t received a complete email I’d suggest giving them a call!

They’ve been very helpful over the phone and could definitely know if there’s any issues which are holding up your app

Thank you for this!! I just left them a message and then two minutes later I got the email. Submitted on 7/22. Says that it is a random review process so may get II at any point
 
Just want add for anyone checking for prompts that there is a 3rd optional covid secondary question not yet mentioned on here:

" To some extent, everyone in the US has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In 500 words or fewer, please explain the ways in which you and your family have been adversely affected by this pandemic. "

What number did you call? And did you just ask to check the status of your app?

I called (716) 829-3466. I left a message because they must have been at lunch when I called. I gave them my name and AMCAS ID and asked to confirm that my application was indeed complete. They didn't call back but literally two minutes after I called I got an email 🙂
 
Does anyone know if uploading SAT/ACT is a must? because I didn't take either
 
Are regular interviews canceled this cycle and only the VITA or is the VITA only if pandemic does not permit an in person interview at that time of the year?

Of the SUNY's I believe only Upstate and Downstate opted into VITA. Schools will still continue to hold actual interviews, most likely online, though will use VITA as additional screening if they opt in.

I am wondering if the purpose of this question is so people can explain if there is something on their application that has been affected by Covid-19?

I think you could certainly mention any way in which your activities, work or classes were impacted. I think I will also go that way, though plan to keep it brief as luckily myself and those close to me are healthy and well.
 
I'm OOS and haven't even gotten confirmation that they received my application -should I be worried?
 
I F*CKING FORGOT TO ADD THIS SCHOOL ON AMCAS NO WONDER I WAS GETTING RADIO SILENCE. HOW SCREWED AM I?

I don’t think it’s too big a deal. They don’t get too many applications compared to other schools and they haven’t started sending interviews yet either
 
I have a ton of clinical research experience, but none of it is lab work. Does this mean I should answer no to the "As an undergraduate, have you ever worked in, or are currently working in a research laboratory?" question?
 
So I just realized that I wrote "University of Buffalo" instead of "University at Buffalo" in one of my secondaries - how screwed am I?
