I was also told in my interview that decisions typically come out 10/15, but later on during the Q&A panel I heard the same thing about late November/early December as a possible timeframe to hear any decisions.

I wonder why so late. It seemed like decisions are made a few days after the interview anyways too

Omg no way!!! Did they give a reason as to why?

No reason was given, but Dr. Daniels himself was the one that told us so it's legit

P.S. If I'm proven wrong and we all get accepted today, drinks after our first exam are on me :)

Same. Interviewed on the first week of this month. From what I understand about the process, I'm pretty sure that they first admit people they REALLY want in their school. Those with the highest overall "admissions score" that they give to applicants to determine admission. So someone that interviewed last week that has a really high "score" that they use for admissions could get an acceptance faster than someone with a lower overall "score" that interviewed much earlier. Not necessarily due to GPA/MCAT and stuff, just whatever they score your overall application as.

This might've been obvious to you but I just felt like sharing lol.

Well I don't know if they're gonna continue accepting people this whole week, but in general schools accept applicants they consider top tier/best fit for their school first. I know people who've gotten into schools that they interviewed at like 2 weeks ago whereas people who interviewed a month or more ago didn't hear anything yet.

Today was a mixed bag with a wide range of MCAT scores.
Though one thing is certain complete date for most must've been in July.

Nah my one friend was complete in september and interviewed only like 3 weeks ago and got in yesterday too. They had a low mcat but are an older nontrad with like 7 years working as a mental health counselor so thats a huge plus

Wow congrats to your friend. But this further tells me that there is no order to these acceptances. P wild.

Alright, I’m assuming if you interviewed in September and didn’t get an acceptance on Friday then you did not get accepted right?

Yeah. There is still a ton of time left for them to send acceptances to people that have already interviewed but it does appear that they sent them first to people based on what they think they want. Buffalo tends to really like University at Buffalo undergrads so that plays a part too

Are we thinking they will continue to send acceptances this week? I interviewed 9/16 and thought it went really well. Getting nervous.

I interviewed a week before and also feel like it went very well. Starting to think interviews don’t matter as much as I thought.

I think they place a majority of their interviewees on the waitlist. I talked to a current student who said ~60% of class came from waitlist

Thank you for that. I appreciate it. My app just couldn’t have been more geared towards them so it’s a sad day for me. Thank you for the stat though

Curious if anyone might know the answer to this: The post II A rate listed on the Google Doc at the top of this forum (and every forum), does that number include those that were waitlisted and then accepted?
