Congratulations on HPA.
Most med schools at this time have filled up. Thus, even if you are the best applicant, you would receive a high priority alternate (or some other variant).

i interviewed in January and was placed on the HPA today. I was wondering if anyone knows how FAFSA works regarding transferring funds. By the time I get a decision I will already have paid my tuition with federal aid to a DO school. If I was to get accepted to Upstate I would go there, but I’m not sure how loan money works in this case. The DO school says they offer full refunds before classes start.

Anyone that interviewed 1/27 got any decisions today?

Anyone know how long it takes to get a decision once the portal says "Your application is under committee review, and you will be notified as soon as a decision has been made." ?

Mine has been like that since I interviewed on 2/1.

Does anyone know about the MedSET program/if it would be a good option?

As @Vanilla96 mentioned, MedSET is a program whereby you essentially get a "first pass" for a significant portion of the MS1 classes. You get to experience the anatomy lab. While the program is certainly beneficial for learning content, I think the largest benefit, for me anyway, was navigating how to study in medical school. Since it is a truly "pass/fail" course, it was good to experiment with different study techniques. I also enjoyed being in the area early for research, for those interested.

It may be difficult to get into MedSET since the limited space is reserved for those students accepted in qualifying programs (i.e. CSTEP) or non-traditional students.

Interviewed 2/10, haven’t heard back.

 

[deleted1060074]

Same. I really hope they make some more decisions soon.

 

[motsllim]

Has anyone emailed/called admissions to find out their chances of getting off the HPA? Is it still to early to do so?

 

[BeepboopCosmic2019]

I think it is probably a bit too early since people in February are still waiting to hear back

 

[DavPreMed]

Can't believe no one has heard back this week..

 

[cozy112]

Can't believe no one has heard back this week..

Yeah, I think it’s been a few weeks since the last A on here

 

[userali8282]

Interviewed 1/27.. portal says decision made. anyone know how long till I know the decision?

 

[CorgiLoaf]

Interviewed 1/27.. portal says decision made. anyone know how long till I know the decision?

Usually in a day or two.

I interviewed first week of Feb and still nothing.

 

[deleted1060074]

Interviewed 1/27, and it still just says "ready for committee"🙁

 

[deleted1060074]

For the people that got waitlisted, did your portal change to "decision made" before finding out that you got waitlisted? Or did you just get an email later letting know of that?

 

[Mayor_Chano]

I was notified by email. Portal didn’t change beforehand

 

[DavPreMed]

So there is a waitlist and a high-priority waitlist right? Nobody ever comes off regular waitlist?

 

[userali8282]

anyone who interviewed 1/27 get a decision yet?

 

[girllllimanxious]

So there is a waitlist and a high-priority waitlist right? Nobody ever comes off regular waitlist?

Yup, apparently HPW has a lot of movement but no one has been of the “regular” waitlist since like 2009 or something like that. Can’t quite remember the year that was said but it was a while ago!

My portal said decision made for a day. I got the HPA email the day after my portal status changed, but that was the first week of March. My portal has yet to update to the HPA decision.

 

[Colibri]

Will be withdrawing. Hope the A goes to one of you! 🙂

 

[deleted1060074]

Application status just changed to "decision made." Interviewed on 1/27.

 

[DavPreMed]

Application status disappeared.. interviewed 2/1. Anyone else?

edit: Just realized it was in another area, decision made.

 

[adjsfkh]

Portal just changed to acceptance! Interviewed 2/1.

 

[cozy112]

My portal just changed to acceptance as well! Interviewed 1/27.

 

[DavPreMed]

Portal just changed to acceptance! Interviewed 2/1.

Congratulations! Did it say "Decision Made" before or did it go straight to acceptance?

 

[deleted1060074]

My portal just changed to acceptance as well! Interviewed 1/27.

Same! so excited. Are any of you guys able to open the acceptance letter? It is giving me an error message.

Thank you! The page that loads right after login indicated the acceptance and provided a link to pay a deposit. I'm happy to answer any other questions!

Congratulations, all! I wasn't able to open the acceptance letter either, but there was a link to pay a deposit.

Seems like Chrome does not work to open the letter. I used Safari, and I was able to open it.

 

[DavPreMed]

Low Priority Waitlist... see you guys next cycle.

 

[CorgiLoaf]

Same for you! May is coming up so even if we get WL'd, there's always hope for movement soon.

Update: Portal changed to an A! 🙂

 

[BruinBoy24]

A: interviewed 2/15

 

[CoolRanchDoritos]

A this morning! Interviewed 2/8.

 

[girllllimanxious]

Interviewed 2/8, portal changed to decision made yesterday and still hasn't changed 🙁

 

[ecuacor]

Interviewed on 2/10 and no changes to portal. Have a feeling I was skipped over, similar experience at 2 other SUNYs.
