For those who got Pre-II Rejections did they email you? Also when were you complete?
Yes e-mail at 12:44PM today. Complete 08/12
I wasn't complete until 8/15 but I haven't heard anything yet.

I was complete in July and haven't heard anything yet. Maybe it's a good thing?
Same! Just radio silence…
Based on the email, thats the message I got but I could be wrong.
an R email?
Same complete 7/24 and still heard nothing
Same guys, complete in July and just silence
Would someone be able to post the wording of the email? Now I'm genuinely curious and apprehensive about my chances
I feel like there is no way they are done giving out II's yet

Agree. Looked at last years thread and they were offering interviews into December
I doubt they are done giving out interviews. The cycle goes well into march and April even may.
+1 for July completion with silence
MD programs can't even announce regular decision results until mid-October 🙄
Except for ED I believe. Which I am clueless about TBH
Sheesh. I rather just get the R than hear nothing back.
Seems like they do that a lot. Some people got secondary refunds for not hearing back

Dodging all these R waves got me feeling a type of way, or maybe I am being jebaited.

hey i want my refund lmao, I did not hear a peep last cycle
Does Albany send complete emails? I haven't received mine... should i email or call the school's admissions office about this or will this annoy them?
I don’t think I received a complete email either—you just need to make sure that you finalize your app after submitting…

They sent out their first IIs in mid-late august. With a holiday weekend in between, if you truly believe the Adcom interviewed 800 people as of Wednesday idk what to tell you lmao

They haven’t interviewed 800 applicants yet.....
The rejection letter y’all got is the standard “end of the cycle” rejection. They prob just copy/pastad and didn’t bother changing the quantitative portion of the email.

Albany received 11344 applications and interviewed 726 people last cycle in TOTAL. Its literally September relax everyone. Just trying to dispel any fear and neuroticism the previous poster might elicit
Honestly didn't even read their post completely lol. I just recognized the numbers from the email.
Big oof on that interview I think I bombed it
I think we were in the same session and oof is right wow.
I'm sure you two did better than you think!! Why the oofs though!?
Please tell you didn't hear a kid screaming from somewhere with that first presentation. My friend came over to watch him and didn't realize how loud he was being.
for the 1pm session? haha i didn't hear any kid in the background!
Cool lol I asked her to take him outside for the rest of it. I'm not too optimistic about that interview though.
they definitely aren't done. I got an II from Albany in January last cycle!

Albany secondary application site down?
Question: for the question asking about academic inconsistencies, If I got a 504 (124 in chem/phys) but have a 3.8 cgpa should I answer the prompt? I can't think of valid enough reasons to explain away the low score (my FLs were higher, COVID made studying difficult, I studied chem and physics but it wasn't my day: I'm not sure these are good enough)

Honestly if you had an excuse for a single section maybe (I write about CARS because I’m dyslexic so it’s super difficult) but I wouldn’t really talk about how you should have done better. It comes off bad, especially because standardized tests like the MCAT demonstrate motivation for perhaps the STEP exams. Take this as you will.
They interview to the end of March I believe.
